Background: Although prior studies evaluated the role of EUS and EGD for drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts, there are no randomized trials that compared the technical Outcomes between both modalities.Objective: To compare the rate of technical Success between EUS and EGD for transmural drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts.Study design: A prospective randomized trial. Setting: A tertiary-referral center.Patients: Those with a history of pancreatitis and symptomatic pancreatic pseudocysts that measured greater than 4 cm in size who were referred for endoscopic transmural drainage. Patients with pancreatic abscess or necrosis were excluded.Main Outcome Measurements: Technical success was defined as the ability to access and drain a pseudocyst by placement of transmural stents. Complications were assessed at 24 hours and at day 30. Treatment success was defined as the complete resolution or decrease in size of the pseudocyst to
