LAMS
Lumen-apposing metal stents for EUS-guided therapeutic drainage.
Lumen-apposing metal stents have transformed therapeutic endoscopic ultrasound. Their dual-flange design holds two lumens in apposition, creating a stable, leak-resistant channel for drainage or anastomosis, procedures that previously required surgery or percutaneous access.
Key Features
- Dual-flange, lumen-apposing design for secure anchorage
- Electrocautery-enhanced delivery for single-step access and deployment
- Multiple diameters for drainage and direct endoscopic intervention
- Fully covered construction to resist leakage and tissue ingrowth
Clinical Applications
- Pancreatic pseudocyst and walled-off necrosis drainage
- EUS-guided gallbladder drainage
- EUS-guided gastroenterostomy
