Background: Endoscopic ultrasonography(EUS) guided transmural drainage has become a first-line treatment for peripancreatic fluid collections(PFCs).Post-procedure Postoperative bleeding may lead to severe clinical outcomes.The purpose of this study was to explore thepatient-related and surgery-related factors associtated with post-EUS drainage bleedingpostoperative bleeding.: This is an observational cohort study. A total of 181 patients who underwent EUS drainage at our center between June 2019 and May 2024 were enrolled analyzed in the study. Postoperative bleeding complications were observed, and patient and operation-related data were collected. Univariate and multifactorial logistics regression were performed for the risk factors that may affect postoperative bleeding. Determine the risk factors influencing bleeding after EUS drainage.Determine the risk factors affecting postoperative bleeding.We achieved a 100% technical success rate. A total of 14 cases(7.7%) of bleeding occurred. All bleeding patients were successfully treated by conservative, endoscopic, interventional and other treatments. Logistic regression analysis showed that cyst size was an independent risk factor for bleeding after EUS-guided transmural drainage (P=0.006; OR,2.722; 95%CI,1.327-5.587).The cyst size was an independent risk factor for bleeding after PFC drainage. Slowing the rate of decline in intracystic pressure may reduce the risk of bleeding.
