Lumen-apposing metal stenting
ERCP has a multitude of applications in diagnosing and treating conditions of the HPB tract. However, on the rare occasions when it is unsuccessful, the patient’s needs still have to be met.
The Hot AXIOS™ Stent and Electrocautery-Enhanced Delivery System provides you with an opportunity to perform a rescue procedure and reach your target HPB site.
With this stent, you can create a secure, translumenal conduit between the gastrointestinal tract and a neighboring fluid-filled cavity to facilitate drainage or create a bypass around a stricture or blockage.

Hot AXIOS™ is indicated for use to facilitate transgastric or transduodenal endoscopic drainage of:
- The bile duct after failed ERCP in patients with biliary obstruction due to a malignant stricture
- A pancreatic pseudocyst or a walled-off necrosis with ≥70% fluid content
- The gallbladder in patients with acute cholecystitis who are at high risk or unsuitable for surgery
ESGE recommends:
The use of endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) over percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) after failed ERCP in malignant distal biliary obstruction when local expertise is available.¹
