Abstract
Aortoesophageal fistula (AEF) is an uncommon complication of esophageal cancer and can be extremely fatal if left untreated. Compared to open repair, thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR), a less invasive technique, is the initial recommended treatment in cases of hemorrhagic shock secondary to AEF, as this procedure showed a favorable outcome in controlling the overt bleeding. Here, we present a case of a patient with a history of stage IV esophageal cancer being treated with chemotherapy and an esophageal stent due to a previous tracheoesophageal fistula who presented to the emergency room due to severe gastroesophageal bleeding and hemorrhagic shock. A CT angiography of the chest revealed an AEF. The patient was subsequently resuscitated and treated with TEVAR. After the procedure, the hemorrhage was managed, and the patient was discharged with palliative radiation therapy. However, after one month, the patient had a major gastrointestinal hemorrhage, which caused her death. This example indicates the necessity of early detection and surgical intervention in AEF patients with unstable hemodynamics who have underlying unresectable esophageal cancer and chemotherapy. TEVAR should be conducted as soon as possible before the open surgery to achieve the best outcome for patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided gastroenterostomy (EUS-GE) is a minimally invasive therapy for patients with gastric outlet obstruction without the risks of surgical bypass and the limited long-term efficacy of enteral self-expanding metal stent placement. However, due to its novelty, there is a lack of significant data comparing long-term outcomes of patients with EUS-GE, based on the underlying disease. In this study, we compare outcomes of EUS-GE on benign versus malignant indications. METHODS Consecutive patients from 12 international, tertiary care centers who underwent EUS-GE over 3 years were extracted in a retrospective registry. Demographic characteristics, procedure-related information and follow-up data was collected. Primary outcome was the rate of adverse events associated with EUS-GE and the comparison of the rate of adverse events in benign versus malignant diseases. Secondary outcomes included technical and clinical success as well as hospitalization admission. RESULTS A total of 103 patients were included: 72 malignant and 31 benign. The characteristics of the patients undergoing EUS-GE is shown in Table 1. The mean age of the cohort was 68 years and 58 years for malignant and benign etiology. Gender distribution was 57% and 39% being females in malignant and benign etiology group, respectively. Clinical success, technical success, average procedure time, and hospital length of stay were similar in both groups. Patients with benign underlying etiology had significantly higher number of surgically altered midgut anatomy ( P =0.0379). CONCLUSION EUS-GE is equally efficient regardless of the underlying etiology (malignant vs. benign), and the adverse events both groups were comparable.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastroenterostomy (EUS-GE) has recently emer-ged as an alternative treatment for gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) in selected patients.
AIM To report the initial experience of EUS-GE in patients with GOO.
METHODS This study was a retrospective, observational, multicenter study in which the data from 10 patients who underwent EUS-GE due to GOO between September 2021 and May 2023 were collected. We analyzed technical success, clinical success, adverse events, and survival. Technical success was defined as adequate position-ing and deployment of the stent. Clinical success was defined as the patient’s ability to tolerate oral intake without vomiting 7 d after the procedure. Post-procedural adverse events were recorded.
RESULTS Eleven procedures in 10 patients with GOO were included. The mean age of the patients was 67.5 years (range: 56-77 years). Malignant GOO was present in 9 patients. Technical success was achieved in 9/11 procedures (82%). Among them, clinical success was achieved in 9 patients (100%). Adverse events occurred in 1 patient (9%). The median survival was 3 months (n = 7; range: 1-8 months).
CONCLUSION EUS-GE is a feasible therapeutic option in the treatment of GOO.

Abstract
While generally safe, bariatric operations have a variety of possible complications. We present an uncommon complication after gastric bypass revision, namely the creation of an "orphaned" segment of remnant stomach that was left inadvertently in discontinuity, leading to recurrent intra-abdominal abscesses. Sinogram ultimately proved the diagnosis, and the issue was successfully treated using a combination of surgical and endoscopic methods to control the abscess and to allow internal drainage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND For patients with periampullary adenocarcinoma (PAC), pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) provides the best survival. Surgery on a subset of patients is aborted during PD. We analyzed these patients. METHODS Patients who underwent laparotomy for planned PD for PAC were identified (2006-2019). From operative notes, we identified the subset with intraoperative decision to abort. Patient, treatment, and outcome data were analyzed. The subset with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) was analyzed for survival. RESULTS Only 6.7% (n = 55/819) of cases were aborted. Majority 78% (n = 43) had pathologically-confirmed diagnoses at time of surgery, and 18.2% (n = 10) received preoperative chemotherapy. Reasons for aborted PD included: distant metastases (65.5%, n = 36) and local invasion (34.5%, n = 19). Of patients with metastatic disease, 75% (n = 27) had liver metastases. Eighty-nine percent (n = 49) of patients underwent at least one palliative bypass procedure and 81.8% (n = 45) had both gastric and biliary bypass. Patients with computed tomography (CT) scans before surgery more commonly had missed metastatic disease (79.2% CT compared to 54.8% magnetic resonance imaging [MRI], χ2 = 3.54, p = 0.059). In PDAC, 61.4% (n = 27/44) were aborted for metastatic disease and 38.7% (n = 17/44) for local invasion. Median overall survival for all PDAC patients after aborted PD was 334 days. CONCLUSION Majority of pancreatoduodenectomies for periampullary adenocarcinoma are done to completion. Liver metastases is the most common reason for aborting. Preoperative MRI may help identify hepatic metastases.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: EUS-guided transluminal drainage has increasingly developed, especially after the era of lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS): a fully covered, barbell-shaped, metal stent with anti-migratory properties allowing direct therapeutic interventions through a wide and short channel. The aim of this survey is to investigate the current management of patients undergoing LAMS placement nationwide. Materials and Methods: Forty-eight questions were submitted to Italian centers about expertise, peri- and intra-procedural aspects, budget/refund, and future perspectives. Statistical analyzer was SPSS®. Results: Thirty-six centers completed the survey. Indications for LAMS positioning are pancreatic fluid collection drainage (PFCD, 97.2%), biliary drainage (BD, 80.5%), gallbladder drainage (GBD, 75%), and gastroentero-anastomosis (GEA, 19.4%). A total of 77.7% of the endoscopists perform only on-label procedures and 22.2% both on-label and off-label. 38.8% attended a training preliminary course, 27.7% were just supported by an expert, 22.2% had both the opportunities, and 8.3% none of them. Management of antiplatelets and sedation protocol is very heterogeneous. Only 50% involves a multidisciplinary meeting and 30.5% has a specialized clinic for follow-up. Acid suppression is usually continued after PFCD. The type and timing of postprocedural imaging varies widely. 8.3% of the endoscopists work without fluoroscopy. Refund for LAMS is mostly not guaranteed. Main future growing indications appear to be BD, GBD, and GEA (69.4%, 55.5%, and 55.5%, respectively). Conclusions: This is the first survey assessing the state of the art on LAMS almost 10 years after their advent. There are currently wide variations in practice nationwide, which demonstrates a pressing need to define technical, qualitative, and peri-procedural requirements to carry out this procedure, toward a standardization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Self-expandable metal stents (SEMSs) are used for palliation of malignant gastric outlet obstruction (GOO). Studies comparing covered SEMSs (C-SEMSs) and uncovered SEMSs (U-SEMSs) have led to inconclusive results. We compared efficacy and safety of C-SEMSs versus U-SEMSs in patients with GOO. METHODS We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library from 2000 to 2019 to identify available studies comparing C-SEMSs versus U-SEMSs in patients with GOO. Primary outcomes were stent survival and patient survival, whereas secondary outcomes were clinical and technical success, Gastric Outlet Obstruction Score System (GOOSS) score after the procedure, overall adverse events, reintervention rate, dysfunction rate, stent occlusion, and stent migration. RESULTS Overall, 7 randomized controlled trials and 9 observational studies were identified that included 1741 patients. C-SEMSs were associated with higher stent survival (hazard ratio, .68; 95% confidence interval [CI], .48-.96), whereas patient survival did not statistically significantly differ between C-SEMS and U-SEMS groups (hazard ratio, .96; 95% CI, .75-1.23). Clinical and technical success were not statistically different between groups (odds ratios, 1.1 [95% CI, .76-1.61] and .69 [95% CI, .21-2.3], respectively). There were no differences in terms of overall adverse events, reintervention rate, dysfunction rate, and GOOSS rate ≥2 after SEMS placement. U-SEMSs were associated with a higher rate of occlusion (odds ratio, .34; 95% CI, .21-.53) and C-SEMSs with a higher rate of migration (odds ratio, 4.28; 95% CI, 2.79-6.57). CONCLUSIONS C-SEMSs were associated with higher stent survival (time between stent deployment and stent dysfunction) compared with U-SEMSs, whereas no differences in terms of patient survival (time between stent deployment and patient's death) emerged. However, U-SEMSs were associated with higher risk of occlusion and C-SEMSs with higher risk of migration. Further studies using new C-SEMSs with an antimigration system are needed.

Magnetic compression anastomosis for non-anastomotic stenosis of the proximal jejunum after total gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y reconstruction: a case report. Surg Case Rep 2020; 6:167.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative non-anastomotic stenosis of the proximal jejunum after total gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y reconstruction is a rare complication. If endoscopic balloon dilation proves ineffective, patients need re-operation under general anesthesia and experience a high rate of postoperative complications. Magnetic compression anastomosis is a nonsurgical procedure that can create an anastomosis similar to that obtained through surgery. We report a case in which magnetic compression anastomosis was successfully performed to avoid re-operation for non-anastomotic stenosis of the proximal jejunum after total gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y reconstruction. CASE PRESENTATION A 70-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital for treatment of non-anastomotic stenosis of the proximal jejunum. Open total gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y reconstruction were performed 2 years previously for advanced gastric cancer at another hospital. She complained of anorexia and obstructed passage of food. No recurrence of gastric cancer was identified. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy showed circumferential membranous stenosis of the jejunum 3 cm distal to the esophago-jejunal anastomosis. Endoscopic balloon dilation was performed three times, but proved ineffective. Magnetic compression anastomosis was planned because the stenosis existed near the esophago-jejunal anastomosis and re-operation was a highly invasive procedure requiring intrathoracic anastomosis. Endoscopic balloon dilation preceded placement of the parent magnet on the anal side of the stenosis. Confirming the improvement of stenosis, the parent magnet was placed on the anal side of the stenosis during esophagogastroduodenoscopy. The parent magnet attached to nylon thread was fixed to the cheek to prevent magnet migration. A week after placing the parent magnet, restenosis was confirmed and the daughter magnet was placed via nylon thread on the oral side of the stenosis. The two magnets were adsorbed in the end-to-end direction across the stenosis. Magnets adsorbed in the end-to-end direction moved to the anal side 11 days after placement. Wide anastomosis was confirmed by esophagogastroduodenoscopy. Endoscopic balloon dilation was regularly performed to prevent restenosis after magnetic compression anastomosis. No complications were observed postoperatively. The patient was able to eat normally and successfully reintegrated into society. CONCLUSIONS Magnetic compression anastomosis could be a feasible procedure to avoid surgery for non-anastomotic stenosis of the proximal jejunum after gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y reconstruction.

Abstract
Superior mesenteric artery syndrome (SMAS) causes compression and partial or complete obstruction of the duodenum, resulting in abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and weight loss. If conservative therapy fails, the patient is typically referred for enteral feeding or laparoscopic gastrojejunostomy. The last few years have seen increasing use of endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastrojejunostomy (EUS-GJ) for gastric obstruction indications. EUS-GJ involves the creation of a gastric bypass via an echoendoscope in cases in which the small intestine can be punctured under ultrasonographic visualization, resulting in an incision-free, efficient, and safe procedure. In this case report, we present the first case of SMAS treated using a reverse EUS-GJ, and describe the steps and advantages of the procedure in this particular case.

Abstract
A colonic stent was used to treat colonic stenosis secondary to acute pancreatitis. Surgery should be postponed until the inflammation and obstruction improve. Use of enteric stents could be used as a temporizing measure before surgery.
Introduction We report a patient for whom a colonic stent was successfully used to treat colonic stenosis secondary to acute pancreatitis. Presentation of case A 70-year-old male presented with epigastric pain. A choledocholith and bile duct dilatation were found on abdominal computed tomography scan. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography was performed and a common bile duct stent was placed. Ten hours after stent placement, severe epigastric pain developed. Contrast enhanced abdominal computed tomography scan revealed increased density of fat tissue around the pancreas. He was diagnosed with severe acute pancreatitis and treated in the intensive care unit. On the twenty-eighth hospital day, he vomited. His abdomen was distended and tender to palpation. Contrast enhanced abdominal computed tomography scan revealed stenosis of the descending colon and proximally dilated colon and small bowel. He was diagnosed with colonic stenosis secondary to acute pancreatitis. A colonic stent was placed in the descending colon. Eight months after this episode, elective subtotal colectomy was performed. The postoperative course was unremarkable. Discussion The overall documented leak rate for segmental colectomy with or without on-table lavage following large bowel obstruction is about 4%. In addition, in the acute phase of severe acute pancreatitis, inflammation makes surgery difficult. Use of enteric stents in patients with pancreatitis could be used as a temporizing measure until the inflammation and obstruction improve. Conclusion Colonic stenting is useful as a bridge to surgery in the management of large bowel obstruction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Through-the-scope implantation of self-expandable metal stents can be used for the palliation of malignant gastric outlet obstruction. Although covered stents were developed to prevent tumor ingrowth, often seen with uncovered stents, migration is still a major problem. Especially, surgical treatment is required for some patients if distal migration occurs. AIMS To evaluate the usefulness of the newly designed winged stent that was developed to prevent distal stent migration. METHODS This was a single-center, single-arm, retrospective study. A total of 63 inoperable cancer patients with symptomatic gastric outlet obstruction were reviewed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a newly designed partially covered self-expandable metal stent with star-shaped wing flaps at the proximal end to reduce distal stent migration. RESULTS Technical and clinical successes were achieved in 100% and 87.3% of patients, respectively. The gastric outlet obstruction scoring system score significantly improved after stent placement (from median 1 to 2, P < 0.001). The median duration of stent patency was 147 days (interquartile range 76-201), and median duration of overall survival was 176 days (interquartile range 79-325). Stent migration was observed in seven patients (11.1%), and restenosis was developed in 12 patients (19.0%). All cases of migration were proximal, and no distal migration was observed. Endoscopic removal of migrated stents was performed successfully in all cases. CONCLUSIONS The newly designed winged stent showed feasible efficacy and safety for malignant gastric outlet obstruction. Furthermore, it effectively prevented distal stent migration.

Abstract
The last decade has seen a dramatic rise in the possibilities of therapeutic endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). From EUS fine needle aspiration of cancerous lesion to pseudocyst drainage, it has now not only replaced some of the percutaneous techniques but has permitted to bypass all together laparoscopic approach for patient with altered anatomy or malignant gastric outlet obstruction. This review will emphasize the novel therapeutic EUS procedures added to our arsenal.

Self-expanding metal stents for the palliation of malignant gastric outlet obstruction in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis. World J Gastroenterol 2016; 22:9554-9561.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the efficacy of self-expanding metal stents (SEMS) for the palliation of malignant gastric outlet obstruction in patients with and without peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC).
METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of 62 patients who underwent SEMS placement for treatment of malignant gastroduodenal obstruction at our hospital over a six-year period. Stents were deployed through the scope under combined fluoroscopic and endoscopic guidance. Technical success was defined as successful stent placement and expansion. Clinical success was defined as an improvement in the obstructive symptoms and discharge from hospital without additional parenteral nutrition. According to carcinomatosis status, patients were assigned into groups with or without evidence of peritoneal disease.
RESULTS In most cases, obstruction was caused by pancreatic (47%) or gastric cancer (23%). Technical success was achieved in 96.8% (60/62), clinical success in 79% (49/62) of all patients. Signs of carcinomatosis were identified in 27 patients (43.5%). The diagnosis was confirmed by pathology or previous operation in 7 patients (11.2%) and suspected by CT, MRI or ultrasound in 20 patients (32.2%). Presence of carcinomatosis was associated with a significantly lower clinical success rate compared to patients with no evidence of peritoneal disease (66.7% vs 88.6%, P = 0.036). There was no significant difference in overall survival between patients with or without PC (median 48 d vs 70 d, P = 0.21), but patients showed significantly longer survival after clinical success of SEMS placement compared to those experiencing clinical failure (median 14.5 d vs 75 d, P = 0.0003).
CONCLUSION Given the limited therapeutic options and a clinical success rate of at least 66.7%, we believe that SEMS are a reasonable treatment option in patients with malignant gastric outlet obstruction with peritoneal carcinomatosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical gastrojejunostomy and enteral self-expanding metal stents are efficacious for the management of gastric outlet obstruction but limited by high complication rates and short-term efficacy. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastrojejunostomy (EUS-GJ) is a novel alternative option. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients who underwent EUS-GJ between March 2014 and September 2015 as part of a prospective multicenter registry at four academic centers in two countries were included. Technical success was defined as successful placement of a gastrojejunal lumen-apposing metal stent. Clinical success was defined as the ability of the patient to tolerate an oral diet. Post-procedural adverse events were recorded. RESULTS The study included 26 patients, of whom 11 (42 %) were male. Technical success was achieved in 24 patients (92 %). Clinical success was achieved in 22 patients (85 %). Of the 4 patients in whom clinical success was not achieved, 2 had persistent nausea and vomiting despite a patent EUS-GJ and required enteral feeding for nutrition, 1 died before the initiation of an oral diet, and 1 underwent surgery for suspected perforation. Adverse events, including peritonitis, bleeding, and surgery, occurred in 3 patients (11.5 %). CONCLUSION EUS-GJ is an emerging procedure that has efficacy and safety comparable with those of current therapies and should hold a place as a new minimally invasive option for patients with gastric outlet obstruction. Clinical trial identification number: NCT01522573.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Self-expandable metal stents (SEMSs) can be used for the palliation of malignant obstruction in the upper gastrointestinal tract. This study assessed the feasibility and efficacy of endoscopically inserted SEMSs for the palliation of malignant obstruction in the stomach and duodenum. METHODS Between January 2011 and April 2014, 220 patients with gastric or duodenal obstruction due to malignancy underwent endoscopic SEMS insertion at Asan Medical Center. The associations of technical/clinical outcomes and complications with the type of stent and site of obstruction were analyzed. RESULTS The 220 patients included 125 men (56.8 %) and 95 women (43.2 %); median patient age was 63 years. Fully covered, partially covered, and uncovered SEMSs were inserted into 16, 77, and 120 patients, respectively. Obstructions were located in the gastric outlet, including the duodenal bulb, in 106 patients, and in the duodenal second and third portions in 114 patients. Technical success was achieved in 213 of 220 patients (96.8 %) and clinical success in 184 of 213 (86.4 %). Clinical success rates were similar to the type of stent, but were significantly greater for gastric outlet (95/104, 91.3 %) than for duodenal (89/109, 81.7 %) obstructions (p = 0.039). Stent migration was observed in 20 patients (9.1 %) and stent obstruction in 51 (23.2 %). Rates of stent migration were significantly higher for fully covered (6/16, 37.5 %) than for partially covered (7/77, 9.1 %) and uncovered (7/120, 5.8 %) SEMSs (p < 0.001) and were significantly higher for gastric outlet (16/104, 15.4 %) than for duodenal (4/109, 1.2 %) obstructions (p = 0.003). Rates of stent obstruction were similar for fully covered (2/16, 12.5 %), partially covered (17/77, 22.1 %), and uncovered (32/120, 26.7 %) SEMSs (p = 0.409) and in patients with gastric outlet (26/104, 25.0 %) and duodenal (25/109, 22.9 %) obstruction (p = 0.724). CONCLUSIONS SEMS selection for malignant obstruction of the upper gastrointestinal tract depends on the site of obstruction.

Abstract
Herein, we report a case of early in-stent occlusion due to the ingrowth of soft oedematous mucosal tissue through the lattices of an uncovered stent, which was used for palliation of a postoperative gastrojejunal anastomotic stricture. The in-stent occulsion was treated with the deployment of a second stent, which was covered, within the first stent. This led to successful resolution of the occlusion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malignant gastric outlet obstruction is often treated by stent placement. OBJECTIVE To investigate the outcomes of stent placement in the palliative treatment of malignant neoplasms. DESIGN Prospective, observational, multicenter registry. SETTING Six tertiary care centers in 5 countries. PATIENTS A total of 108 adult patients with malignant gastric outlet obstruction. INTERVENTIONS Placement of an uncovered, self-expandable, metal duodenal stent. MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS The primary endpoint was stent patency at 14 days after stent implantation. Secondary endpoints included stent patency at 1, 2, 3, and 6 months, gastric outlet obstruction scoring system (GOOSS) scores at 14 days and 1, 2, 3, and 6 months after stent deployment, technical success, adverse events, and patient survival (ie, confirmed duration of the implant). RESULTS Technical success was achieved in 99.1% of stent placements. Stent patency at 14 days was 94.6%. Kaplan-Meier estimates of stent patency were 92.9% at 1 month, 86.2% at 2 months, 81.9% at 3 months, and 63.4% at 6 months. At 14 days, GOOSS scores increased by a median of 1 point. The overall GI adverse event rate was 32.4%; however, the stent-related adverse event rate was 19.4%. The median implant duration was 47 days (range 0-195 days). LIMITATIONS Observational study, no control group. CONCLUSIONS Duodenal stent placement resulted in prompt relief of malignant gastric outlet obstruction and improved GOOSS scores.

Abstract
Metallic pyloric stenting (also termed as metallic enteral stenting) performed endoscopically, stands as first-line treatment for malignant gastric outlet obstruction. With reported evidence, these self-expandable metallic stents (SEMS) re-enable oral food intake, preventing patients having to face invasive techniques such as surgical gastroenterostomy. We report a patient having received a covered pyloric SEMS insertion following a tumour growth causing stenosis in the gastric antropyloric region. After 3 weeks, the patient presented with a fracture of the pyloric SEMS, a rare complication, resulting in a second pyloric SEMS insertion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Over the last two decades, self-expanding enteral stents have gained popularity and shown therapeutic potential for strictures, obstructions, fistulae, and perforations of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Currently available stent delivery systems make deployment in many locations in the GI tract difficult due to the inability to traverse curves or impossible due to the size requirements of the deployment systems. METHODS A 67-year-old male presented to our hospital with severe gallstone pancreatitis, requiring a prolonged intensive care unit course. Two days after discharge to a rehabilitation facility he developed acute abdominal pain and pneumoperitoneum. Operative exploration failed to identify a perforation. Subsequently, a left-upper-quadrant abscess developed that was drained percutaneously, yielding coliform bacteria. The drain produced several hundred milliliters of stool a day. A barium enema demonstrated a perforation in the descending colon from an old colo-colic anastomosis site. We proposed a novel over-the-scope (OTS) stent deployment method. Utilizing a heat-activated polymer sheath, the stent was affixed to the endoscope. A modified speed-banding attachment was created to permit release of the polymer sheath once endoscopic and fluoroscopic confirmation of the correct position was obtained. RESULTS Utilizing this method of OTS stent deployment, a fully covered 23 × 155 mm self-expanding metal stent (WallFlex, Boston Scientific, Natick, MA) was placed in the colon. Endoscopic and fluoroscopic evaluation following stent placement confirmed stent coverage of the perforation with no ongoing evidence of leak. The patient was discharged to his home state 2 weeks after stent placement in stable condition. CONCLUSION We have developed a novel method of OTS stent placement that permits deployment of a variety of enteral stents on any available endoscope. This method permits placement of fully covered stents in locations in the GI tract not reachable with currently available delivery systems.

Abstract
Purpose Endovascular stent fracture and migration is an extremely rare complication of arteriovenous shunt thrombectomy. Technique We report a case of endovascular stent fracture following repeat arteriovenous graft thrombectomy, which was complicated by migration of a 26 millimeter stent fragment to the left main pulmonary artery. Attempts at percutaneous transvenous retrieval were unsuccessful, and an open thoracotomy to extract the stent fragment was performed. Conclusions Although there is no consensus for the management of endovascular stents that have migrated to the pulmonary arteries, stent retrieval may be necessary in cases where arterial flow is compromised or heavy clot burden is a concern. Moreover, steps toward prevention of stent fracture and migration should be considered in order to preclude such occurrences – avoidance of puncturing the stent for hemodialysis access, discontinuation of use of the Arrow-Trerotola device through or near stents, and consideration of short segment angioplasty for regional intrastent stenosis rather than typical long segment venous angioplasty.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer is devastating due to its poor prognosis. Patients require a multidisciplinary approach to guide available options, mostly palliative because of advanced disease at presentation. Palliation including relief of biliary obstruction, gastric outlet obstruction, and cancer-related pain has become the focus in patients whose cancer is determined to be unresectable. Endoscopic stenting for biliary obstruction is an option for drainage to avoid the complications including jaundice, pruritus, infection, liver dysfunction and eventually failure. Enteral stents can relieve gastric obstruction and allow patients to resume oral intake. Pain is difficult to treat in cancer patients and endoscopic procedures such as pancreatic stenting and celiac plexus neurolysis can provide relief. The objective of endoscopic palliation is to primarily address symptoms as well improve quality of life.

Abstract
Self-expanding metal stent (SEMS) placement offers safe and effective palliation in patients with upper gastrointestinal obstruction due to a malignancy. Well described complications of SEMS placement include tumor growth, obstruction, and stent migration. SEMS occlusions are treated by SEMS redeployment, argon plasma coagulation application, balloon dilation, and surgical bypass. At our center, we usually place the second SEMS into the first SEMS if there is complete occlusion by the tumor. We discovered an unusual complication during SEMS redeployment. The guidewire passed through the mesh of the first SEMS and caused the second SEMS to become entangled with the first SEMS. This led to the distortion and malfunction of the second SEMS, which worsened the gastric outlet obstruction. For lowering the risk of entanglement, we studied stone extraction balloon-guided repeat SEMS placement. This is the first report of a SEMS entangled by the mesh of the first SEMS and stone extraction balloon-guided repeat SEMS placement for lowering the risk of this complication.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastroduodenal obstruction due to malignancy can be difficult to palliate. Self-expanding metal stents (SEMS) are gaining acceptance as an effective alternative to surgical bypass. METHODS Patients not suitable for surgical bypass, with complete gastric outlet obstruction as a result of malignancy, were offered palliation with SEMS from November 2004 to December 2008. The procedure was performed under fluoroscopic guidance and conscious sedation. Data were collected prospectively. RESULTS Seventy patients underwent SEMS placement (hepatobiliary and pancreatic malignancy, 44; antral gastric carcinoma, 19; other, seven). Follow-up was complete in 69 patients (99 per cent). Technical and clinical success rates were 93 and 95 per cent respectively. Median hospital stay was 2 (range 1-18) days, median survival was 1.8 (0.1-19.0) months, and 87 per cent had improved intake after SEMS placement, as determined by Gastric Outlet Obstruction Severity Score before and after stenting (P < 0.001). Complications included two episodes of minor bleeding. CONCLUSION The use of SEMS to alleviate complete malignant gastric outlet obstruction in patients with limited life expectancy is successful in re-establishing enteral intake in most patients, with minimal morbidity, no mortality and a short hospital stay.

Abstract
Malignant gastroduodenal obstruction can occur in up to 20% of patients with primary pancreatic, gastric or duodenal carcinomas. Presenting symptoms include nausea, vomiting, abdominal distention, pain and decreased oral intake which can lead to dehydration, malnutrition, and poor quality of life. Endoscopic stent placement has become the primary therapeutic modality because it is safe, minimally invasive, and a cost-effective option for palliation. Stents can be successfully deployed in the majority of patients. Stent placement appears to lead to a shorter time to symptomatic improvement, shorter time to resumption of an oral diet, and shorter hospital stays as compared with surgical options. Recurrence of the obstructive symptoms resulting from stent occlusion, due to tumor ingrowth or overgrowth, can be successfully treated with repeat endoscopic stent placement in the majority of the cases. Both endoscopic stenting and surgical bypass are considered palliative treatments and, to date, no improvement in survival with either modality has been demonstrated. A tailored therapeutic approach, taking into consideration patient preferences and involving a multidisciplinary team including the therapeutic endoscopist, surgeon, medical oncologist, radiation therapist, and interventional radiologist, should be considered in all cases.

Abstract
Background Combined intestinal and biliary stenting is one of the effective palliative methods for patients with malignant gastric outlet and biliary obstruction. This study was to evaluate the effect of combined intestinal and biliary stenting in the palliation of gastric outlet and biliary obstruction. Methods Thirty-two patients with malignant gastric outlet and biliary obstruction underwent combined intestinal and biliary stenting. Intestinal stents were implanted by means of endoscopy and X-ray guidance. The subsequent biliary stents were implanted by percutaneous transhepatic cholangial drainage. The biliary stent pass through the side hole of intestinal stent mesh and its distal segment was located in the lumen of intestinal stent. Results Thirty-four intestinal stents and 32 biliary stents for 32 patients were implanted successfully. No lethal complications occurred. The average survival was 164 days. Conclusions The combined intestinal and biliary stenting is an effective and safe method for palliation of gastric outlet and biliary obstructions. The short-term results are satisfactory.
