Lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMSs) may facilitate endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided treatment of walled-off necrosis (WON) as a transluminal port for necrosectomy [1] [2].

In this case, we experienced dreadful bleeding when conducting EUS-guided LAMS placement with balloon dilation for direct endoscopic necrosectomy (DEN) ([Video 1]).
