A Successful 12-Month Trial of a Lumen-Apposing Self-Expandable Metallic Stent on a Benign Recalcitrant After Surgical Stricture
ACG CASE REPORTS JOURNAL(2024)
摘要
Gastrojejunal anastomotic strictures are common postsurgical complications that may be treated endoscopically. In some cases, conventional endoscopic dilations may prove ineffective, prompting consideration of covered self-expandable metal stents as the next step. However, the efficacy of these stents may be limited by their risk of migration. Lumen-apposing self-expandable metallic stents pose a lower migration risk because of their unique design and offer a possible off-label solution for recalcitrant strictures. We describe a patient with a postsurgical, gastrojejunal anastomotic stricture refractory to several interventions, who achieved long-lasting remission of symptoms after a 12-month trial of lumen-apposing self-expandable metallic stent placement.
