Case report demonstrates successful secondary EUS-GE to address stent dysfunction in GOO, suggesting potential for long-term relief.
Endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastroenterostomy (EUS-GE) is effective and safe to relieve gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) [1]. Long-term stent dysfunction, including stent occlusion, migration, and delamination, could be resolved by food disimpaction, stent exchanges, or an overlapping stent [2] [3] [4]. Here, we report a patient with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) who received secondary EUS-GE to solve stent dysfunction 10 months after the index operation.
