EUS-guided enterocolostomy with lumen-apposing metal stent for palliation of malignant small-bowel obstruction (with video)
Interventions for malignant small-bowel obstruction (SBO) may be limited by extent of peritoneal disease, rendering surgical or traditional endoscopic methods (ie, luminal stenting or decompressive gastrostomy) unfeasible. We demonstrated the novel use of EUS-guided lumen-apposing metal stent placement for enterocolonic bypass in patients with malignant SBO who were deemed high risk for surgery.EUS-directed transgastric interventions in Roux-en-Y gastric bypass anatomy: a multicenter experience
Placement of a lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) between the gastric pouch and the excluded stomach allows for EUS-guided transgastric interventions (EDGIs) in patients with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Although EUS-guided transgastric ERCP (EDGE) outcomes have been reported, data are scant on other endoscopic interventions. We aimed to evaluate the outcomes and safety of EDGIs.Classification, outcomes, and management of misdeployed stents during EUS-guided gastroenterostomy
Stent misdeployment (SM) has hindered the dissemination of EUS-guided gastroenterostomy (EUS-GE) for gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) management. We aimed to provide a classification system for SM during EUS-GE and study clinical outcomes and management accordingly.
