Background/Aims: Various lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS) have been used for the endoscopic ultrasound-guided transmural drainage (EUS-TD) of postoperative pancreatic fluid collections (POPFC) and peripancreatic fluid collections (PFC). In this study, we aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of novel electrocautery-enhanced LAMSs (Hot-Plumber with Z-EUS IT) with different inter-flange lengths (13 to 33 mm) for managing POPFC and PFC. Methods: We reviewed the interventional EUS database of Asan Medical Center to identify consecutive patients with POPFC or PFC who underwent EUS-TD with the novel LAMSs between April 2023 and December 2023. Technical success, clinical success, and adverse events were evaluated. Results: Ten patients (5 with POPFCs and 5 with PFCs) were included in the analysis. The technical and clinical success rates were 100% and 90%, respectively. The LAMS was placed using either the freehand technique (n=5) or the over-the-guide wire technique (n=5). One patient successfully underwent endoscopic necrosectomy for walled-off necrosis through a novel LAMS. Two patients experienced adverse events (one stent migration and one infection). The LAMS was removed in 7 out of 10 patients after resolution of the fluid collection at a median of 61 days (interquartile range, 31 to 69 days) post-LAMS placement. Conclusions: EUS-TD using the novel LAMS for POPFC and PFC demonstrated high efficacy and an acceptable safety profile. This novel LAMS represents a viable option when selecting stents for EUS-guided drainage of the POPFC and PFC.
