Abstract

Endoscopic bariatric therapies can provide treatment options for obesity in non-surgical candidates, as a part of combination or serial treatment plans, and for the reduction of obesity-related comorbidities. Several complications of intragastric balloons have been documented, but spontaneous hyperinflation is a risk that has not been well reported previously. We describe two cases of spontaneous intragastric balloon hyperinflation and their outcomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
