Endoscopic ultrasound-guided esophagoenterostomy for a completely obstructed surgical anastomosis.
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has the potential to safely guide the creation of gastrointestinal anastomoses [1]. Different methods have been studied in animal models [2] and more recently EUS-guided gastroenterostomy with a lumen-apposing stent has been described in two small patient series [3,4]. A 58-year-old woman with junctional adenocarcinomawho had undergone total gastrectomywith distal es...
متن کاملBalloon dilatation of a Waterston aortopulmonary anastomosis.
Percutaneous balloon dilatation of a Waterston anastomosis was performed in a child who had had four shunt operations. Initially, the procedure was apparently successful, but pulmonary oedema developed and he died 12 hours after the procedure. Balloon dilatation of a Waterston anastomosis is technically possible and may prove to be an alternative to reoperation in certain patients. But further ...
متن کاملComputed tomography-guided endoscopic recanalization of a completely obstructed rectal anastomosis.
A 44-year-old man presented with complete obstruction of a colorectal anastomosis. He had undergone laparoscopic resection of the sigmoid colon 9 months previously for colonic perforation caused byendoscopic resectionof a Peutz–Jeghers polyp. Surgical resection and reconstruction of the anastomosis, including diverging ileostomy, had been performed 6 months later because of anastomotic strictur...
متن کاملBalloon dilatation of ileo-colonic anastomosis in Crohn’s disease
Endoscopic dilatation of Crohn’s disease-related strictures is an alternative to surgical resection in selected patients. In addition, post-surgical stenosis is not infrequent in patients undergoing ileo-colonic anastomosis. Dilatation of ileo-colonic anastomosis is performed with a through the scope balloon (TTS diameter 18mm) and requires general anesthesia, endoscopic experience and careful ...
متن کاملEndoscopic Balloon Dilatation of Benign Esophageal Stricture—A Nonhazardous Procedure?
Balloon dilatation of benign esophageal strictures has been widely used since its introduction. We have performed 224 dilatation procedures in 52 patients. Dilatation was done as an outpatient procedure. Strictures were due to reflux esophagitis in 25 patients, anastomatic stenosis in 6, achalasia in 5, complications of sclerotherapy in 5, corrosive lesions in 3, and long-standing nasogastric i...
