Endoscopic ultrasound‐guided treatment for malignant afferent loop obstruction after Roux‐en‐Y reconstruction

Abstract The usefulness of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)‐guided gastrojejunostomy (EUS‐GJ) using a lumen‐apposing metal stent (LAMS) has been reported. However, LAMS is not available in many countries and is more expensive than a conventional fully covered self‐expandable metal stent (FCSEMS). We trea...

We treated cases of malignant afferent loop obstruction after Roux‐en‐Y reconstruction: three patients underwent EUS‐guided hepaticoenterostomy (EUS‐HES) and one patient underwent EUS‐GJ with a conventional biliary FCSEMS, instead of EUS‐GJ with a LAMS.

In one case, in which both EUS‐HES and EUS‐GJ were feasible, EUS‐HES was performed because of unavailability of LAMS for EUS‐GJ in Japan. In another case, EUS‐HES was not indicated because of massive ascites around the liver, and thus, EUS‐GJ using a 10 mm FCSEMS combined with a 7 Fr large‐loop double‐pigtail plastic stent was performed.
