Gastroenteroanastomosis guided by endoscopy ultrasound. A feasible technique for gastric outlet obstruction.

This article discusses the feasibility and complications of using lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS) for endoscopy ultrasound (EUS)-guided gastroenteroanastomosis (EUS-GEA) as a treatment for gastric outlet obstruction (GOO). The study found that the procedure was successful in 93.7% of cases, with a 100% clinical success rate. There were some immediate and late complications, but overall, the procedure was considered viable and had an acceptable rate of complications. The authors suggest that EUS-GEA can be an alternative to more invasive approaches like surgery. [Extracted from the article]
