Abstract Pancreatic and peripancreatic collections (PCs) develop from acute pancreatitis (AP), chronic pancreatitis, surgery, or trauma. The 2012 revised Atlanta classification [1] of AP classified local complications into the following 4 PC types: acute peripancreatic fluid collection ( < 4 weeks after the onset of acute interstitial edematous pancreatitis), acute necrotic collection ( < 4 weeks after the onset of acute necrotizing pancreatitis), pancreatic pseudocyst (PPC; ≥4 weeks after the onset of acute interstitial edematous pancreatitis), and walled-off necrosis (WON; ≥4 weeks after the onset of acute necrotizing pancreatitis). Endoscopic ultrasonographyguided transmural drainage (EUS-TD) has been reported to be a minimally invasive procedure for patients with PCs [2–4] . This study aimed to investigate the clinical outcomes of EUS-TD for PCs.
