Abstract
Malignant gastric outlet obstruction (mGOO) is a major condition affecting patients with periampullary tumors, including pancreatic cancer. The current treatment options include surgical gastroenterostomy, endoscopic stenting and more recently EUS-guided gastroenterostomy. Most studies comparing the outcomes of the three procedures focus on technical success, clinical success and safety. Several "occult" outcomes relevant to the patient's viewpoints and perspective may ultimately impact on cancer-related and overall survival, such as body mass composition, nutritional biomarkers, chemotherapy tolerance and patient-reported quality of life. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of potential key outcomes that should be explored in future comparative research around mGOO treatment options.

Abstract
Gastrojejunostomy is the principal method of palliation for unresectable malignant gastric outlet obstructions (GOO). Gastrojejunostomy was traditionally performed as a surgical procedure with an open approach butrecently, notable progress in the development of minimally invasive procedures such as laparoscopic gastrojejunostomies have emerged. Additionally, advancements in endoscopic techniques, including endoscopic stenting (ES) and endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastroenterostomy (EUS-GE), are becoming more prominent. ES involves the placement of self-expandable metal stents (SEMS) to restore luminal patency. ES is commonly the first choice for patients deemed unfit for surgery or at high surgical risk. However, although ES leads to rapid improvement of symptoms, it carries limitations like higher stent dysfunction rates and the need for frequent re-interventions. Recently, EUS-GE has emerged as a potential alternative, combining the minimally invasive nature of the endoscopic approach with the long-lasting effects of a gastrojejunostomy. Having reviewed the advantages and disadvantages of these different techniques, this article aims to provide a comprehensive review regarding the management of unresectable malignant GOO.

Abstract
In the last decades, Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has rapidly grown and evolved from being mainly a diagnostic procedure, to being an interventional and therapeutic tool in several pathological clinical scenarios. With the progressive growth in technical expertise and dedicated devices, interventional endoscopic ultrasound procedures (IEUSP) have shown high rates of technical and clinical success, together with a relatively safe profile. However, the description and the standardization of different and specific types of adverse events (AEs) are still scarce in literature, and, consequently, even less the management of AEs. The aim of this study is to critical review and to describe AEs related to each of the main IEUSP, and to provide an overview on the possible management strategies of endoscopic complications. Future studies and guidelines are surely required to reach a better standardization of different AEs and their best management.

Endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastrojejunostomy with a direct technique without previous intestinal filling using a tubular fully covered self-expandable metallic stent. Clin Endosc 2024; 57:209-216. [PMID: 37430402 PMCID: PMC10984750 DOI: 10.5946/ce.2023.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2023] [Revised: 02/27/2023] [Accepted: 02/28/2023] [Indexed: 07/12/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Endoscopic ultrasonography-guided gastrojejunostomy is a minimally invasive method for the management of gastric outlet obstruction. Conventionally, a lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) is used to create an anastomosis. However, LAMS is expensive and not widely available. In this report, we described a tubular fully covered self-expandable metallic stent (T-FCSEMS) for this purpose. METHODS Twenty-one patients (15 men [71.4%]; median age, 66 years; range, 40-87 years) were included in this study. A total of 19 malignant (12 pancreatic, 6 gastric, and 1 metastatic rectal cancer) and 2 benign cases were observed. The proximal jejunum was punctured with a 19 G needle. The stomach and jejunum walls were dilated with a 6 F cystotome, and a 20×80 mm polytetrafluoroethylene T-FCSEMS (Hilzo) was deployed. Oral feeding was initiated after 12 to 18 hours and solid foods after 48 hours. RESULTS The median procedure time was 33 minutes (range, 23-55 minutes). After two weeks, 19 patients tolerated oral feeding. In patients with malignancy, the median survival time was 118 days (range, 41-194 days). No serious complications or deaths occurred. All patients with malignancy tolerated oral food intake until they expired. CONCLUSION T-FCSEMS is safe and effective. This stent should be considered as an alternative to LAMS for gastric outlet obstruction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A comprehensive meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastroenterostomy (EUS-GE) for benign and malignant gastric outlet obstruction (GOO). MATERIAL AND METHODS PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and Cochrane Library were searched to identify relevant studies. The primary outcomes evaluated technical success, clinical success, and adverse events (AEs). RESULTS Twenty‑six studies with 1493 patients were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled rates of technical success, clinical success, and overall AEs of EUS-GE were 94.0%, 89.9%, and 13.1%, respectively. Eight studies were included in the subgroup meta-analysis for comparative evaluation of EUS-GE and surgical gastroenterostomy (SGE), while seven studies were for EUS-GE and enteral stenting (ES). Compared with SGE, the pooled odds ratios (ORs) of technical success, clinical success, and overall AEs of EUS-GE were 0.17 (p = .003), 1.42 (p = .40), and 0.15 (p < .00001), respectively. When compared with ES, the above corresponding pooled ORs were 0.55 (p = .11), 2.64 (p < .0001), and 0.41 (p = .01), respectively. CONCLUSION Although it is technically challenging, this largest meta-analysis indicates that EUS‑GE has comparable and high technical and clinical success rates and hence a very effective minimally invasive procedure for GOO.

Abstract
The continuous evolution of endoscopic tools over the years has paved the way for minimally invasive alternatives to surgical procedures for multiple gastrointestinal conditions. While few endoscopic techniques have supplanted their surgical counterparts like percutaneous gastrostomy tubes, many have emerged as noninferior, less morbid alternatives for such diverse conditions as achalasia (peroral endoscopic myotomy), obesity (endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty), drainage of pancreatic walled off necrosis (EUS-guided cystogastrostomy), and gastric outlet obstruction (EUS-guided gastrojejunostomy). These techniques were based on surgical concepts and would not have been feasible without collaboration between surgeons and endoscopists. Such collaboration is exemplified by the antireflux fundoplication, which features combined hiatal hernia repair with transoral and incisionless fundoplication. The burgeoning armamentarium of endoscopic alternatives to traditional surgical procedures requires a multidisciplinary discussion and individually tailored treatment plans that consider patient preferences as well as the relative risks and benefits of surgical and endoscopic approaches. As technological advances give rise to ever more innovative endoscopic techniques, studies to evaluate clinical outcomes and define their role in treatment algorithms will be required.

Abstract
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has an important role in the management algorithm of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), typically for its diagnostic utilities. The past two decades have seen a rapid expansion of the therapeutic capabilities of EUS. Interventional EUS is now one of the more exciting developments within the field of endoscopy. The local effects of PDAC tend to be in anatomical areas which are difficult to target and endoscopy has cemented itself as a key role in managing the clinical sequelae of PDAC. Interventional EUS is increasingly utilized in situations whereby conventional endoscopy is either impossible to perform or unsuccessful. It also adds a different dimension to the host of oncological and surgical treatments for patients with PDAC. In this review, we aim to summarize the various ways in which interventional EUS could benefit patients with PDAC and aim to provide a balanced commentary on the current evidence of interventional EUS in the literature.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Retrospective studies on malignant gastric outlet obstruction (mGOO) highlighted several advantages of EUS-guided gastroenterostomy (EUS-GE) over enteral stenting (ES). However, no prospective evidence is available. The aim of this study was to report on clinical outcomes of EUS-GE in a prospective cohort study, with a subgroup comparison versus ES. METHODS All consecutive patients endoscopically treated for mGOO between December 2020 and December 2022 in a tertiary, academic center were enrolled in a prospective registry (Prospective Registry of Therapeutic Endoscopic Ultrasound [PROTECT]; NCT04813055) and followed up every 30 days to register efficacy/safety outcomes. EUS-GE and ES cohorts were matched according to baseline frailty and oncologic disease. RESULTS A total of 104 patients were treated for mGOO during the study; 70 (58.6% male subjects; median age, 64 [interquartile range, 58-73] years; 75.7% pancreatic cancer, 60.0% metastatic cancer) underwent EUS-GE via the wireless simplified technique. Technical success was 97.1% and clinical success was 97.1% after a median of 1.5 (interquartile range, 1-2) days. Adverse events occurred in 9 (12.9%) patients. After a median follow-up of 105 (49-187) days, symptom recurrence was 7.6%. In the matched comparison versus ES (28 patients per arm), EUS-GE-treated patients experienced higher and faster clinical success (100% vs 75.0%, P = .006), reduced recurrences (3.7% vs 33.3%, P = .02), and a trend toward shorter time to chemotherapy. CONCLUSIONS In this first, prospective, single-center comparison, EUS-GE showed excellent efficacy in treating mGOO, with an acceptable safety profile and long-term patency, and several clinically significant advantages over ES. While awaiting randomized trials, these results might endorse EUS-GE as first-line strategy for mGOO, where adequate expertise is available.

Abstract
Background To explore the safety, efficacy, and survival benefits of laparoscopic digestive tract nutrition reconstruction (LDTNR) combined with conversion therapy in patients with unresectable gastric cancer with obstruction. Methods The clinical data of patients with unresectable gastric cancer with obstruction who was treated in Fujian Provincial Hospital from January 2016 to December 2019, were analyzed. LDTNR was performed according to the type and degree of obstruction. All patients received the epirubicin + oxaliplatin + capecitabine regimen as conversion therapy. Results Thirty-seven patients with unresectable obstructive gastric cancer underwent LDTNR, while thirty-three patients received chemotherapy only. In LDTNR group patients, the proportion of nutritional risks gradually decreased, the rate of severe malnutrition decreased, the proportion of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) <2.5 increased, the proportion of prognosis nutrition index (PNI) ≥45 increased, and the Spitzer QOL Index significantly increased at day 7 and 1 month postoperatively (P<0.05). One patient (6.3%) developed grade III anastomotic leakage and was discharged after the endoscopic intervention. The median chemotherapy cycle of patients in LDTNR group was 6 cycles (2-10 cycles), higher than that in Non-LDTNR group (P<0.001). Among those who received LDTNR therapy, 2 patients had a complete response, 17 had a partial response, 8 had stable disease, and 10 had progressive disease, which was significantly better than the response rate in Non-LDTNR group(P<0.001). The 1-year cumulative survival rates of the patients with or without LDTNR were 59.5% and 9.1%. The 3-year cumulative survival rate with or without LDTNR was 29.7% and 0%, respectively (P<0.001). Conclusions LDTNR can improve the inflammatory and immune status, increase compliance with chemotherapy, and have potential benefits in improving the safety and effectiveness of and survival after conversion treatment.

Salvage endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastrojejunostomy as a bridge to definitive surgical therapy for duodenal adenocarcinoma presenting with duodenal stent obstruction. Clin J Gastroenterol 2023; 16:387-391. [PMID: 37029881 DOI: 10.1007/s12328-023-01781-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2023] [Accepted: 02/26/2023] [Indexed: 04/09/2023]
Abstract
The utilization of endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastrojejunostomy (EUS-GJ) in the setting of an obstructed (ingrown) duodenal stent as a bridge to pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) remains undescribed. Herein, we report a case study of a 51-year-old patient who underwent EUS-GJ using lumen apposing metal stent (LAMS) for an obstructed duodenal stent during neoadjuvant treatment for duodenal adenocarcinoma. The patient ultimately underwent surgical resection by a classic PD 14 weeks after LAMS placement. EUS-GJ using LAMS represents a potential option as a salvage bridge to surgery for duodenal obstruction in the setting of an obstructed duodenal stent.
