The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the placement of a coaxial double-pigtail plastic stent (DPS) within a lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) may improve the safety of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided drainage of pancreatic fluid collections (PFCs).This was a retrospective cohort study including patients with PFCs and an indication for transmural drainage. Two strategies (LAMS alone or LAMS plus DPS) were used at the endoscopist's discretion.A total of 41 patients were treated (21 LAMS alone; 20 LAMS plus DPS). The characteristics of the PFCs, and the technical and clinical success rates did not differ between groups. The LAMS alone group had a significantly higher rate of adverse events than the LAMS plus DPS group (42.9 % vs. 10.0 %;The addition of a coaxial DPS to LAMS was associated with a lower rate of adverse events in EUS-guided drainage of PFCs.The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the placement of a coaxial double-pigtail plastic stent (DPS) within a lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) may improve the safety of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided drainage of pancreatic fluid collections (PFCs).This was a retrospective cohort study including patients with PFCs and an indication for transmural drainage.
