Validation of the Orlando Protocol for endoscopic management of pancreatic fluid collections in the era of lumen‐apposing metal stents

Although lumen‐apposing metal stents (LAMS) are being increasingly used in lieu of plastic stents, the clinical approach to endoscopic management of pancreatic fluid collections (PFCs) is poorly standardized. We compared outcomes of approaches over two time intervals, initially using plastic stents and later integrating LAMS.
