Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigated outcomes of lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS) placement in patients with surgically altered anatomy (SAA), which is not well-documented in existing literature, involving 270 patients across 25 tertiary care centers up to November 2023.
  • - Technical success of the procedures was very high at 98%, with clinical success at 97%, although there was a notable adverse event rate of 12%, with various degrees of severity recorded.
  • - The results suggest that while LAMS placement in SAA is effective, due to the risk of complications, these procedures should only be performed by experienced endoscopists in specialized centers.

Introduction: Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS) represent a novel tool in therapeutic endoscopy. However, the presence of LAMS may dissuade surgeons from operations with curative-intent. We report three clinical scenarios with deployment of LAMS in patients that subsequently underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD).

Background: Management of biliopancreatic pathology in Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) patients is challenging despite the availability of multiple approaches like single-balloon enteroscopy-assisted ERCP (SBE-ERCP), laparoscopy-assisted ERCP (LA-ERCP), and EUS-directed transgastric intervention (EDGI). We evaluated the outcomes of the interchangeable combination of endoscopic procedures to treat biliopancreatic pathology in RYGB patients.

Materials And Methods: This is a monocentric retrospective study of consecutive RYGB patients with biliopancreatic pathology between June 2014 and September 2023.

American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy guideline on the role of therapeutic EUS in the management of biliary tract disorders: summary and recommendations.

Gastrointest Endosc

December 2024

Department of Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida, USA.

This clinical practice guideline from the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy provides an evidence-based approach for the role of therapeutic EUS in the management of biliary tract disorders. This guideline was developed using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation framework and addresses the following: 1: The role of EUS-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) versus percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) in resolving biliary obstruction in patients after failed ERCP. 2: The role of EUS-guided hepaticogastrostomy versus EUS-guided choledochoduodenostomy in resolving distal malignant biliary obstruction after failed ERCP.

Primary adenocarcinoma in the excluded stomach of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) patients is extremely rare. As such, the most effective diagnostic approach has not yet been determined. In typical patients, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is the first-line technique for evaluating suspected gastric cancer.
