is a known cause of peptic ulcers, but it has not been reported to cause strictures in children. We present the case of a previously healthy 12-year-old boy with sudden onset of abdominal pain and vomiting, positive stool antigen testing, and esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealing a gastroduodenal stricture causing gastric outlet obstruction. Because of medically refractory disease, he ultimately required laparoscopic truncal vagotomy with open pyloroplasty. This is an unusually severe presentation and may warrant being on the differential of pediatric gastrointestinal strictures as well as further discussion on other long-term implications.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers found that endoscopic magnetic compression anastomosis (MCA) in the gastrointestinal tract leads to a higher risk of stenosis, or narrowing of the anastomosis.
- They conducted a study on Sprague-Dawley rats, comparing outcomes between a high-tension group and a control group with no tension during surgery.
- Results indicated that the high-tension group had significantly smaller anastomotic diameters and showed more collagen fiber buildup, supporting the idea that increased tissue tension contributes to stenosis in anastomoses, leading to the proposal of the Yan-Zhang's Tissue Tension Theory.

We report a case of an 87 year-old woman who was admitted with jaundice, but had no pain or fever. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed a tumor in the head of the pancreas, which caused distal malignant biliary obstruction. Initial transpupillary drainage by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) was difficult due to severe biliary stricture caused by the tumor, but cannulation of the pancreatic duct was successful.

Importance: Postpancreatectomy hemorrhage is an uncommon but highly morbid complication of pancreaticoduodenectomy. Clinical evidence often draws suspicion to the gastroduodenal artery stump, even without a clear source.
Objective: To determine the frequency of gastroduodenal artery bleeding compared to other sites and the results of mitigation strategies.

Gastrojejunostomy is the principal method of palliation for unresectable malignant gastric outlet obstructions (GOO). Gastrojejunostomy was traditionally performed as a surgical procedure with an open approach butrecently, notable progress in the development of minimally invasive procedures such as laparoscopic gastrojejunostomies have emerged. Additionally, advancements in endoscopic techniques, including endoscopic stenting (ES) and endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastroenterostomy (EUS-GE), are becoming more prominent.
