RESCUE ENTERO-ENTEROSTOMY WITH A SELF-EXPANDABLE METAL STENT (SEMS) AFTER A FAILED DEPLOYMENT OF A LUMEN-APPOSING METAL STENT (LAMS): IDENTIFY THE DIRECTION OF BOWEL TRANSIT IS KEY!
Authors
A 40 year-old woman with acute pancreatitis requiring several abdominal surgeries presented with an ileo-cutaneous fistula.
A pediatric gastroscope was inserted through the fistula to the afferent loop (AL). An echoendoscope was inserted through the ileostomy identifying the AL. EUS-guided entero-enterostomy with a lumen-apposing-metallic-stent (LAMS) failed due to loop stiffness with migration of the LAMS to the peritoneal cavity. The LAMS was removed with an endoscope and a rescue entero-enterostomy with a SEMS from the ileal to the AL was performed to bypass and close the fistula.
Entero-enterostomies with SEMS must preserve the bowel transit to avoid secondary bowel occlusion.
