Abstract
BACKGROUND
Endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastroenterostomy (EUS-GE) has recently emer-ged as an alternative treatment for gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) in selected patients.
AIM
To report the initial experience of EUS-GE in patients with GOO.
METHODS
This study was a retrospective, observational, multicenter study in which the data from 10 patients who underwent EUS-GE due to GOO between September 2021 and May 2023 were collected. We analyzed technical success, clinical success, adverse events, and survival. Technical success was defined as adequate position-ing and deployment of the stent. Clinical success was defined as the patient’s ability to tolerate oral intake without vomiting 7 d after the procedure. Post-procedural adverse events were recorded.
RESULTS
Eleven procedures in 10 patients with GOO were included. The mean age of the patients was 67.5 years (range: 56-77 years). Malignant GOO was present in 9 patients. Technical success was achieved in 9/11 procedures (82%). Among them, clinical success was achieved in 9 patients (100%). Adverse events occurred in 1 patient (9%). The median survival was 3 months (n = 7; range: 1-8 months).
CONCLUSION
EUS-GE is a feasible therapeutic option in the treatment of GOO.
Core Tip: This study was a retrospective report of our initial experience with endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastroenterostomy in patients with gastric outlet obstruction from Mexico. We demonstrated that endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastroenterostomy was a feasible therapeutic alternative for gastric outlet obstruction. It was particularly useful in patients with malignancy.
