Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) transmural drainage (TD) technique. (A) CT scan of the abdomen/pelvis showing a postoperative pancreatic fluid collection (arrowhead) that developed 11 days after pancreatic surgery. (B) EUS image showing a hypoechoic area consistent with a perigastric fluid collection. (C–F) Fluoroscopic images of EUS-TD. A fine aspiration needle was used to puncture the fluid collection under EUS guidance. A guidewire was introduced through the needle and coiled within the cavity under fluoroscopic guidance. After dilation of the tract with a dilation catheter, a second guidewire was coiled into the cavity. One 10F × 5-cm double pigtail stent was inserted, followed by a second 7F × 7-cm double pigtail stent into the fluid collection. (G) CT scan of abdomen/pelvis showing resolution of the fluid collection 1 month after the procedure with transgastric stents still in good position.
