The AXIOS Stent is indicated for use to facilitate transgastric or transduodenal endoscopic drainage of symptomatic pancreatic pseudocysts ≥6cm in size, and symptomatic Walled Off Necrosis ≥6cm in size, with ≥70% fluid content, that are adherent to the gastric or bowel wall. Once placed, the AXIOS stent functions as an access port allowing passage of standard and therapeutic endoscopes to facilitate debridement, irrigation and cystoscopy. The stent is intended for implantation up to 60 days and should be removed upon confirmation of pseudocyst or Walled Off Necrosis resolution.
