Endoscopic Ultrasound–Guided Gastrojejunostomy - 16/09/17
Résumé |
Gastric outlet obstruction is a common complication of advanced upper gastrointestinal and pancreatic malignancies. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided gastrojejunostomy is a new option that may provide a more durable solution than enteral stenting with shorter recovery time and less cost than surgical gastrojejunostomy. Techniques to perform this procedure include direct EUS-guided puncture and balloon-assisted and free-hand methods. Use of cautery-tipped lumen-apposing metal stent results in higher rates of technical success and shorter procedure times. Prospective studies are needed to compare EUS-gastrojejunostomy with enteral stenting and surgical gastrojejusntomy, and to clarify indications, optimal patient selection, and most appropriate method of technically performing this procedure.
