Outcomes after implementing a tailored endoscopic step‐up approach to walled‐off necrosis in acute pancreatitis

The aim of the study was to compare the outcomes of patients with pancreatic or peripancreatic walled‐off necrosis by endoscopy using the conventional approach versus an algorithmic approach based on the collection size, location and stepwise response to intervention.
