Migration of a Lumen-Apposing Metal Stent into the Colon
نویسندگان
چکیده
The introduction of lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS) has been an important development in the management of pancreatic fluid collections. Stent migration out of pancreatic fluid collections into the stomach has been reported, despite the special anti-migratory design of the bi-flanged stent. Data on stent migration rates remain sparse, with some studies suggesting a migration rate of 3.3-5%. There have been no reported cases of LAMS migration outside of the stomach. We describe the first reported case of a transgastric LAMS migrating from the stomach and passing into the colon.

Novel Use of a Uniquely Designed, Lumen-Apposing, Metal Stent in Benign Gastric Outlet Obstruction in Two Patients
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 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...
