Backgrounds and objectives: No study on the use of lumen-apposing fully covered self-expanding metal stent (LAMS) to drain pancreatic fluid collections (PFCs) has evaluated outcomes of patients in the outpatient setting. The objective of this multicenter study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes, success rate, and adverse events of the LAMS for endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided transmural drainage of patients with symptomatic PFCs on an inpatient versus an outpatient basis.

Methods: This was a multicenter, retrospective study conducted at 4 tertiary care centers.

Results: We identified eighty patients with PFCs in whom EUS-guided transmural drainage using the LAMS was performed. The mean age of the patients was 53.1 years old. Mean size of the PFC was 11.8 ± 5.1 cm. A total of 33 patients had PFCs drained in an outpatient setting while 47 patients underwent PFC drainage as in...
