Around 15% of the patients with acute pancreatitis develop acute walled-off pancreatic necrotic collection (WON). EUS-guided drainage of WONs with lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS) is an established procedure because it is a minimally invasive approach and with good outcomes.[1],[2],[3] However, deployment of electrocautery-enhanced LAMS is not always technically feasible and is associated with adverse events, such as bleeding, migration, infection, and dislodgement.[3] Moreover, the solid, necrotic tissue contained within WON is not usually draining spontaneously and has the potential of developing an infection, requiring necrosectomies. Especially during the performance of necrosectomy, dislodgement of the LAMS can happen. We present such a case of accidental LAMS migration/dislodgement occurring during a necrosectomy procedure with a LAMS salvage manoeuvre.
A 48-year-old woman was transferred from a peripheral to our tertiary hospital for an acute WON [Figure 1]. Under endosonographic and Doppler guidance, a 10 mm × 10 mm LAMS was placed from the posterior wall of the stomach into the WON. Despite an initial rapid improvement, the patient became septic 3 days after the placement of the LAMS. An Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) was performed for necrosectomy where the LAMS was dislodged accidentally. The stent was grasped with a biopsy forceps, removed orally, and cleaned. Then, a biopsy forceps was pushed through the scope and the LAMS was pulled over [Figure 2]a. The proximal end of the stent was then pushed into the therapeutic endoscope channel [Figure 2]b and the distal end of the stent was grasped with the forceps [Figure 2]c. The scope with the LAMS was carefully reintroduced into the stomach. Finally, the stent was put into the WON and the stent was deployed successfully under direct visualization by pushing forward the forceps [Video 1 [Additional file 1]]. | Figure 1: Abdomen computed tomography with a walled-off pancreatic necrotic collection measuring 132 x 61 mm.
