Abstract

Aims:

Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided drainage is used to treat symptomatic peripancreatic fluid collections (PFCs). We performed a retrospective cohort study to compare the technical/clinical outcomes and adverse events of drainage with lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMSs) and double pigtail plastic stents (DPSs).

Methods:

Data from patients with PFCs managed either with LAMSs (Hot Axios, Boston Scientific, Marlborough, MA, USA) or DPSs in 8 tertiary European centers were collected. Technical success (ability to place), clinical success (ability to drain), early adverse events, ease of placement (1 – 10, 1 = extremely difficult), intervention duration, drainage duration and complications on removal were evaluated.

Results:

97 patients (71 male; mean age, 59.1 years) with PFCs (63 pseudocysts, 33 walled-off necroses-WON, 1 gallbladder empyema) underwent drainage using LAMSs (n = 84, group 1) and DPSs (n = 13, group 2). Groups were matched for gender, collection type and location. Collection diameter was smaller in group 1 (mean, 10.6 cm vs. 16.5 cm, p = 0.007) and group 1 patients were older (mean, 60.5 vs. 50.4 years, p = 0.002). DPSs were placed with transgastric approach, while 13.1% of LAMSs transduodenally. No differences were noticed regarding technical success (96.4% vs. 100%, p = 1.00), clinical success (95.1% vs. 92.3%, p = 1.00) or ease of placement (8 vs. 8, p = 0.913), whereas LAMSs placement lasted shorter (mean, 9.2 vs. 46.1 min, p < 0.001). Early complications occurred in 15.6% of group 1 patients (6% bleeding, 4.8% obstruction, 2.4% migration, 2.4% perforation) and in 7.7% of group 2 patients (7.7% perforation), p = 1.00. Drainage duration was shorter in group 1 (mean, 51.5 vs. 101.5 days, p = 0.004). Complications on removal occurred in 10.7% of group 1 patients (7.1% buried stent, 3.6% bleeding), and in none of group 2.

Conclusions:

PFCs drainage with LAMSs equals DPSs regarding technical success, clinical success and early adverse events. LAMSs placement is faster and requires a shorter drainage period. LAMS removal may be accompanied with serious complications.
