Walled-off pancreatic necrosis (WOPN) is a known complication of acute and chronic pancreatitis. Indications for treatment of WOPN are infection, a rapid increase in size, pain, or biliary or duodenal obstruction. Endoscopic transgastric treatment of pseudocysts with liquid content is successful in approximately 90% of patients; however, the treatment of WOPN is less satisfactory.
