ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS:
Endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastrojejunostomy (EUS-GJ) has been well utilized in treating malignant gastric outlet obstructions (GOO) given its efficacy and lower risk profile compared to surgery. However, its efficacy and potential for use in patients with benign GOO who are poor surgical candidates is not well documented. The aim of this study was to examine the role of EUS-GJ in treatment of benign GOO in select patients. PATIENTS ANDMETHODS:
This is a single-center, open-label, retrospective descriptive study that included all consecutive patients undergoing EUS-GJ to treat benign causes of GOO. Direct antegrade and direct retrograde methods were utilized.RESULTS:
A total of 18 patients were included, 38.9% female with an average age of 63.3 years. Extrinsic GOO was present in (10 of 18) 55.5% of patients and intrinsic etiology was present in (8 of 18) 45.5% of patients. Technical success was achieved in 100% (18 of 18) patients and clinical success was achieved in 94% (17 of 18) patients. In total, 13 patients had follow-up endoscopy, 2 patients were treated relatively recently in time, 1 patient was lost to follow-up, and 2 patients died of other chronic illnesses. Stents remained in place for a median of 286 days (range 88-1444 days). In patients whose stents were removed, 75% (3 of 4) had extrinsic etiologies of GOO.CONCLUSIONS:
This study reports a favorable long-term patency with excellent technical and clinical success of EUS-GJ in patients with benign GOO. Despite the limitations of sample size and retrospective nature, it adds to the extremely limited literature of EUS-GJ in management of patients with benign GOO.Palavras-chave
