Endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastroenterostomy (EUS-GE) is a novel approach in the treatment of gastric outlet obstruction (GOO)[1-3]. Using a lumen apposing metal stent (LAMS), a bypass can be created between the stomach and the small bowel distal to the
SC
obstruction. One of the major potential adverse events with EUS-GE is the misdeployment or displacement of the LAMS, which can lead to severe clinical
M AN U
consequences and possibly the need for surgical intervention. We describe a case of EUSGE complicated by stent displacement salvaged with natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) technique (Figure 1).
Description of Technology: The concept of endoscopic bypass is to provide sustained
TE D
palliation for GOO similarly to a surgical bypass through a minimal invasive approach. Although lumen apposing stents have been developed for drainage of pancreatic fluid
EP
collections, their anti-migration properties and generous luminal diameter are ideal for endoscopic bypass[4]. Data from retrospective and prospective series on EUS-GE have
AC C
shown promising results with technical and clinical success rates of greater than 90% and 85%, respectively. A recent comparative study suggested that EUS-GE may lead to fewer stent obstructions from tumor tissue ingrowth and overgrowth as compared to the traditional enteral stenting approach[5-7]. Currently, endoscopic bypass can be performed through EUS guidance or the NOTES technique. The major adverse event associated with EUS-GE is the risk for stent misdeployment or displacement leading to spillage of

luminal content into the peritoneum and an iatrogenic perforation, which may require surgical intervention[6].

Video Description: A 68-year old male patient with a history of unresectable cholangiocarcinoma was referred for symptoms of GOO (Video 1). A gastroscopy showed an obstruction in the second portion of the duodenum due to extrinsic
SC
compression from advanced cancer. After discussion with patient and his family a decision was taken to palliate with EUS-GE given the potential for a decreased risk of
M AN U
stent obstruction and need for re-intervention[5].
A gastroscope was advanced across the obstruction and fluid (methylene blue, normal saline, and contrast) was infused to optimize small bowel distension. Using fluoroscopy
TE D
and EUS, a small bowel loop close to the stomach was punctured with a 19-gauge needle (Video 2). Blue tinged fluid was aspirated confirming the correct location of the puncture. A LAMS was then inserted directly using cautery-assistance and deployed

successfully forming the GE. A wire-guided dilating balloon was then inserted across the stent and inflated to 15 mm. Unfortunately, during dilation the patient retched displacing
AC C
both the distal flange of the LAMS and the guidewire from the small bowel into the peritoneal space. A therapeutic gastroscope was advanced through the LAMS and peritoneoscopy performed using CO2 insufflation. The puncture defect in the peritoneum was located and cannulated with an ERCP catheter preloaded with a 0.035 inch guidewire, which was advanced into the small bowel under fluoroscopy. The displaced LAMS was removed with a biopsy forceps over the wire. A LAMS was then advanced

over the wire into the small bowel through the established puncture site with the assistance of a quick burst of cautery and the distal flange deployed. The stent was then pulled back approximating the small bowel to the stomach followed by deployment of the
RI PT
proximal flange. Contrast injection showed excellent stent position without evidence of a leak. Note that cautery assistance was needed to facilitate the passage of the second LAMS through the small bowel defect given the free flowing nature of the small bowel
SC
and difficulty of pushing the stent through without cautery. The patient was hospitalized with moderate abdominal pain due to focal peritonitis. He was placed on broad-spectrum
tolerating a full low-residue diet.

antibiotics and improved rapidly. He was discharged 4 days later with minimal pain while
Take home message: EUS-GE is a novel treatment modality for GOO; however, stent
TE D
misdeployment/displacement is a feared complication with possible severe clinical consequences. This case demonstrates that by using NOTES, rescue of a displaced GE stent is feasible and may potentially avoid the need for surgery. Although preliminary
EP
data on EUS-GE are encouraging, published studies are small and there are currently no prospective data comparing its efficacy and safety with enteral stenting or surgical
AC C
bypass. In addition, EUS-GE is technically challenging and should only be performed by experienced endoscopists with extensive therapeutic EUS and fluoroscopy experience and practicing at centers with appropriate surgical and interventional radiology backup. As such, EUS-GE should not be considered the standard of care for the management of GOO until further validation.
