ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Consecutive to an increase in the number of bariatric surgeries worldwide, the number of articles reporting complications have also increased. The most dreadful bariatric complication is represented by the leak, and the endoscopic stent is still the standard treatment for some bariatric teams despite the poor quality of life and associated complications. The purpose of this review was to identify the very rare cases of aortic injuries associated with stent use in bariatric surgery.Methods:
Aortic injuries related to stent use was the main criteria to summarize the literature by a careful assessment of PubMed/MEDLINE databases. Leak characteristics, primary endoscopic treatment, and the outcome of endoscopic complication were retrieved and categorized from each eligible article.Results:
Thirty-five articles were selected for analysis. After abstract analysis, 22 studies were excluded, and 13 articles were reviewed in full-text version. Four articles were confirmed with aortic injury following stent use for complications after different bariatric procedures. These contained one retrospective case series and three retrospective case reports. There were 4 patients involved with complications following bariatric surgery Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass-3 cases and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy-1 case. The reported mortality of the aorto-esophageal fistula was 50%.Conclusions:
Using stents in the treatment of leaks following bariatric surgery could be an efficient treatment, despite the poor quality of life and the stent migration. Even though it is rare, the aortic injury is a dreaded complication related to stent use and associated with high mortality rates.Palabras clave
