Abstract
Disconnected pancreatic duct syndrome (DPDS) can occur in up to 50% of patients with walled off pancreatic necrosis (WOPN). To prevent recurrences of pancreatic fluid collections (PFC's) in these patients, placement of long term indwelling transmural stents has been shown to be an effective and safe strategy. As stents get blocked over a period of time, it has been suggested that instead of a single stent, placement of multiple stents would be a better strategy as the pancreatic secretions can continue to drain in between the stents.
