PG - 26-35 LID - 10.1093/jcag/gwy049 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: While most pancreatic fluid collections (PFCs) resolve spontaneously, endoscopic ultrasound-guided transluminal drainage (EUS-TD) may be necessary. EUS-TD has evolved from multiple double-pigtail plastic stents (DPPS) to fully covered self-expanding metal stents (FCSEMS) and lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS). This study compares clinical attributes of DPPS, FCSEMS and LAMS. METHODS: This is a single-centre retrospective review of EUS-TD for PFCs. The primary outcome was clinical success. Secondary outcomes were technical success, procedure time, hospital length of stay (HLOS), number of endoscopies, need for necrosectomy, adverse events (AEs) and overall cost. RESULTS: Fifty-eight patients (37 male, average age 49 years) underwent a total of 60 EUS-TD procedures for PFCs (average size 11.2 cm with 29 pseudocysts and 29 walled-off necrosis). Ten patients (17%) underwent EUS-TD with DPPS and 48 patients (83%) with metal stents (32 FCSEMS, 16 LAMS). Overall technical and clinical success was 100% and 84%, respectively. Lumen-apposing metal stents had shorter procedure times (14.9 versus 63.6 DPPS, 39.1 min FCSEMS, P < 0.001), and no difference in AEs (3 of 16 versus 4 of 10 DPPS, 12 of 34 FCSEMS, ns). Double-pigtail plastic stents required more endoscopies (3.7 versus 2.3 LAMS, 2.3 FCSEMS, P = 0.013) and necrosectomies (4 of 10 [40%]) compared with 5 of 34 [15%] in the FCSEMS group and 3 of 16 [19%] in the LAMS group, respectively, P = 0.001) to achieve clinical resolution. The overall cost and HLOS was not significantly different between groups. CONCLUSION: The use of LAMS for PFCs is not associated with any significant increase in cost despite technical (shorter procedure time) and clinical advantages (shorter indwell time, reduced need for necrosectomy and no increase in AEs).
