BACKGROUND AND AIMS: EUS-guided transluminal drainage (EUS-TD) is increasingly used for the treatment of postoperative pancreatic fluid collections (POPFCs). A novel lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) was recently developed and used for the drainage of POPFCs. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a novel LAMS in patients with POPFCs.

METHODS: Forty-seven patients with symptomatic POPFCs who underwent EUS-TD with a novel LAMS (Niti-S SPAXUS; Taewoong Medical Co, Ltd, Ilsan, South Korea) between April 2019 and July 2020 were included in this study. Clinical outcomes, including technical success, clinical success, and adverse events, were retrospectively evaluated.

RESULTS: EUS-TD was technically successful in 41 of 47 patients (87.2%). Clinical success was achieved in 37 of 41 patients (90.2%). The mean procedure time was 13.7 ± 3.5 minutes. The mean POPFC size was 59 ± 18.9 mm. The mean time interval from surgery to EUS-TD was 24.2 ± 37.6 days. Five patients experienced 6 procedural adverse events (12.8%): 4 (8.5%) POPFC infections and 2 (4.3%) distal stent migrations. The 4 patients with POPFC infection underwent additional endoscopic interventions. Of the 2 patients with stent migration, 1 underwent laparoscopic exploration and surgical extraction of the stent and 1 (2.1%) experienced POPFC recurrence, which was managed with percutaneous drainage.

CONCLUSIONS: EUS-TD for symptomatic POPFCs with a novel LAMS is technically feasible and effective, with an acceptable adverse event rate. Further larger-scale prospective studies are required to confirm the findings of this study.
