A New Type of Luminal Apposing Stent Misdeployment in Gastrojejunostomy: Endoscopic Rescue Techniques
Authors
Abstract Text A 70-year-old male with malignant gastric outlet obstruction (mGGO) secondary to unresectable antral-pyloric neoplasia underwent endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastrojejunostomy (GY-USE). A luminal apposing metal stent (LAMS, 20x10 mm) was placed using a catheter-filling approach. During deployment, the distal flange failed to expand, causing complete displacement of the LAMS into the jejunal loop. A rescue guidewire was advanced, but repositioning attempts with a new LAMS were unsuccessful. The anastomosis was revised using peritoneoscopy-NOTES (Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery), and a new LAMS was deployed. The displaced LAMS was successfully retrieved. The patient remained asymptomatic and resumed oral intake after 48 hours without complications.
