- The study evaluates the use of lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMSs) in endoscopic ultrasound-guided anastomosis in the GI tract, focusing on their efficacy and safety.
- A total of 145 procedures were analyzed, resulting in high technical (97.2%) and clinical (95.2%) success rates, though 13.8% of cases experienced adverse events.
- The results suggest that using LAMS for anastomoses is both effective and safe, with a low rate of complications that were manageable and no procedure-related deaths reported.
