    A 16 mm bi-flanged metal stent (BFMS) was mistakenly released inside a peripancreatic fluid collection (PFC) during transgastric drainage. In an attempt to endoscopically retrieve the stent, the PFC was punctured under EUS with a 19 Gauge FNA needle and filled with normal saline. An electro-cautery enhanced 20 mm lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) was then placed under full EUS guidance and the middle portion balloon dilated up to 20 mm. This allowed introduction of a gastroscope through the LAMS into the cavity, where the dislocated BFMS was entrapped into a polypectomy retrieval net and safely extracted under direct endoscopic view.
