Purpose Of Review: Lumen apposing metal stents (LAMS) have been increasingly used to manage patients with surgically altered anatomy (SAA), who would have otherwise required percutaneous or surgical interventions. Via the creation of de-novo anastomoses, LAMS provides a conduit to access distal parts of the gastrointestinal tract to perform various interventions.
Recent Findings: Pancreatobiliary (PB) and non-PB interventions are challenging in patients with SAA.

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is the standard treatment of biliary disease with high success rates of greater than 90% in patients with standard anatomy. However, alterations in upper gastrointestinal anatomy can significantly complicate endoscopic biliary intervention. The past decade has seen significant advances in the endoscopic management of patients with altered anatomy.

The alteration of the gastrointestinal anatomy represents a challenge for the performance of endoscopic procedures in case of bile duct obstruction. Follow we present the technique used in a patient with altered anatomy and a mass in the head of the pancreas with obstruction of the bile duct through endoscopic ultrasound-guided trans gastric retrograde cholangiopancreatography.
