FDA allows marketing of new stent for treating pseudocysts of the pancreas
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today allowed marketing of the AXIOS Stent and Delivery System for treating pseudocysts (fluid and tissue filled cavities) that form in the pancreas and are next to the stomach or small intestine. This is the first stent that is specifically designed for drainage of a pancreatic pseudocyst by creating a new, temporary opening between the pancreas and the gastrointestinal tract.
