Endoscopic Ultrasound Gastro-Enteroanastomosis for Benign Gastric Outlet Obstruction due to Large Duodenal Diverticula

Abstract

Gastric outlet obstruction is a condition characterized by inadequate gastric emptying due to benign or malignant conditions inducing an inadequate oral intake. In recent years, a novel therapeutic treatment for this condition is given by the use of electrocautery lumen-apposing metal stents. In this case report, we want to present an example of a benign condition treated by endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastroenterostomy with the bi-flanged SpaxusTM stent (Taewoong Medical Co.) mounted on electrocautery catheter.
