TABLE 3.

Comparing the conventional stent replacement technique with the novel puzzle ring technique.

Conventional technique (n = 68) Puzzle ring technique (n = 18) p‐value
Technical success of 7‐F DPS replacement, n (%) 42/68 (61.8) 17/18 (94.4) 0.02
Overall recurrence of pancreatic fluid collection, n (%) 4/68 (5.9) 0/18 (0) 0.29
7‐F DPS replacement success case, n (%) 0/42 (0) 0/17 (0)
7‐F DPS replacement failure case, n (%) 4/26 (15.4) 0/1 (0)

Abbreviation: DPS, double‐pigtail plastic stent.
