Official Title: Endoscopic Step-up Approach Vs Aggressive Debridement of Large Pancreatic Walled-off Necrosis - a Single-center, Open-label, Randomized, Superiority Trial (ACCELERATE)
Brief Summary:
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare a conventional endoscopic step-up approach with an accelerated treatment algorithm using direct endoscopic necrosectomy in patients with acute necrotizing pancreatitis and walled of necroses exceeding a diameter of 15 cm.It will be investigated whether an aggressive treatment algorithm instead of a classical step-up approach will shorten the length of stay in the hospital and also reduce the mortality in patients treated for large walled off necroses.
