Abstract
AIM: To evaluate the feasibility of longitudinal endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS)-guided endoscopic band ligation of gastric submucosal stromal tumors (GISTs).
METHODS: One hundred and twenty-six patients with GISTs underwent EUS-guided endoscopic band ligation. Tumors were located in the cardia in 8 patients, in the fundus in 45 patients, in the corpus in 39 patients, and in the antrum in 34 patients. The follow-up was performed on day 1, at 1, 2, 6 and 12 mo after band ligation and every year thereafter.
RESULTS: The diagnosis of GISTs was confirmed by EUS-guided fine needle biopsy in several patients. The success rate of endoscopic band ligation was 98.4% (124/126). Tumor eradication was found in 125 patients (99.2%) during follow-up. During 1-5 years of follow-up, the ligation site became flat in 86 patients, and formed white strip scar in 11 patients. No residual or recurrent tumors were found, and the recovery rate was 99.2%.
CONCLUSION: EUS-guided endoscopic band ligation is a safe, effective and simple approach for treatment of GISTs.
