ABSTRACT
Gastric outlet obstruction is a mechanical obstruction to the flow of gastric contents to the intestines. The most common causes of malignant gastric outlet obstruction (MGOO) are pancreatic and gastric cancers. MGOO is associated with reduced quality of life and poor prognosis due to malnourishment from the inability to tolerate oral intake. Surgical gastrojejunostomy and endoscopic placement of enteral stents are palliative options with different advantages and disadvantages. We present a case of MGOO treated with endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastroenterostomy, a minimally invasive alternative to palliative surgical bypass.
