Table 4. Cumulative number of patients needing direct endoscopic necrosectomy after bi-flanged metal stent or lumen-apposing metal stent placement.
BFMS (n = 40) | LAMS (n = 32) | P value 1 | |
Time to DEN after stent placement, n (%) | |||

BFMS, bi-flanged metal stent; LAMS, lumen-apposing metal stent; DEN, direct endoscopic necrosectomy.
The Chi-square or Fisher’s exact test was applied to calculate the P value.
