Aims The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and clinical efficacy of Hot AXIOS stent for drainage of walled-off pancreatic necrosis (WON).

Methods We retrospectively studied the files of all patients with WON who underwent endoscopic ultrasound -guided drainage using a Hot Axios stent device from one endoscopist.

Results Eighteen patients with WON underwent drainage using the stent. The technical success rate was 100% and the average procedure time was 3.1 minutes. Endoscopic resection of necrotic material was performed in six patients (33%), with a mean of 2.1 sessions of necrosectomy. The overall complication rate was 5,5% (bleeding in 1 patient). Clinical success rate was 100%. Mean time of stent removal was 40 days and mean time of follow-up after stent removal was 11 months. Recurrence of WON was observed only in one patient (8.3%).

Conclusions Using Hot-Axios stent is a safe, easy and effective option for drainage of walled-off pancreatic necrosis.
