Novel Use of a Uniquely Designed, Lumen-Apposing, Metal Stent in Benign Gastric Outlet Obstruction in Two Patients
نویسندگان
چکیده
Current guidelines recommend management of benign gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) with serial dilations. Self-expanding metal stents are effective, but their use is complicated by high rates of migration. We present two cases from our institution where a uniquely designed, lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) was successfully used to alleviate benign GOO without stent migration.

BACKGROUND Surgical gastrojejunostomy and enteral self-expanding metal stents are efficacious for the management of gastric outlet obstruction but limited by high complication rates and short-term efficacy. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastrojejunostomy (EUS-GJ) is a novel alternative option. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients who underwent EUS-GJ between March 2014 and September 2015 as part of a...

Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided gastroenterostomy with placement of a lumen-apposing metal stent has emerged as a novel, minimally invasive therapeutic option for patients with gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) [1–3]. The most challenging aspect of the procedure is immobilizing the jejunal loop in order to create the fistulous tract and deploy the stent. Several different techniques have been...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Self-expanding metal stents (SEMS) are safe and effective for endoscopic management of malignant gastrointestinal strictures, but there is limited experience with their use in refractory benign strictures. We assessed the use of a new lumen-apposing covered SEMS for the management of benign gastrointestinal strictures. METHODS A single-center case-series of five patients w...
