BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Candy cane syndrome (CCS) is an adverse event (AE) from gastrectomy or gastric bypass and end-to-side anastomosis to a jejunal loop. Preferential passage of food to the blind loop induces early satiety, pain, and regurgitation. An endoscopic device that combines 2 magnets and a self-retractable wire was designed to perform progressive septotomy with marsupialization. We evaluated the clinical safety and efficacy of this treatment in CCS. METHODS: Consecutive patients presenting with symptoms associated with CCS after gastrectomy or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass were treated with the MAGUS (Magnetic Gastrointestinal Universal Septotome) system. Weight, dysphagia, pain scores, 12-item Short Form Survey quality of life physical and mental scores, GERD Health-Related Quality of Life, and Eckardt score were measured at baseline and 1 and 3 months postprocedure. Satisfaction with therapy and AEs were monitored during follow-up. RESULTS: Fourteen consecutive patients with CCS were enrolled in the study. Thirteen MAGUS systems migrated within 28 days after achieving uneventful complete septotomy. In 1 patient the magnet had to be collected from the right-sided colon after 1 month. Treatment was completed in a single endoscopy session. Dysphagia score (2 [1-3] vs 1 [1-1], P = .02), pain score (7 [6-8] vs 1 [0-1], P = .002), Eckardt score (5 [3-8] vs 1 [0-2], P = .002), GERD Health-Related Quality of Life score (37 [29-45] vs 8 [6-23], P = .002), and quality of life physical and mental scores were all significantly improved at 3 months. No device or procedure-related serious AEs were observed. One patient died during follow-up from evolution of oncologic disease. CONCLUSIONS: Endoluminal septotomy using a retractable wire and magnet system in CCS is feasible and safe, with rapid improvement of symptoms. (Clinical trial registration number: NCT04480216.).
