The procedural duration was significantly lower with metal stents with an MD of-11.32 min (95% CI: \u221217.75\u2013\u22124.88). However, there was no difference between the two groups in terms of stent-related periprocedural adverse events, bleeding, serious bleeding, treatment success, need for necrosectomy, number of necrosectomies, number of reinterventions, need for percutaneous drainage, need for surgery, duration of hospitalisation, mortality, stent dysfunction, recurrence of WOPN, endocrine and exocrine insufficiency.
