Abstract
Background and Aims
EUS-guided choledochoduodenostomy (EUS-CDS) has become an established alternative to percutaneous or surgical approaches in cases of failed or predicted difficult ERCP.
Methods
We report a case of complex endoscopic management of biliary obstruction in a 46-year-old woman with inoperable pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Because of tumor-related deformation of the papillary region, primary transpapillary drainage was not feasible.
Results
EUS-CDS using a 6- × 8-mm electrocautery-enhanced lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) (Hot AXIOS stent; Boston Scientific, Marlborough, Mass, USA) was performed. Misdeployment of the distal flange led to bile leakage and stent dysfunction. Subsequent placement of a fully covered self-expandable metal stent (8 mm × 6 cm) (BONASTENT; MTW, Wesel, Germany) resulted in secondary stent dislocation into the paraduodenal space. The dislocated stent was successfully retrieved endoscopically through the original access using a 3-mm cholangioscope (Scivita, Boston Scientific). The duodenal defect was closed with 2 closure clips (MANTIS Clip, Boston Scientific). The patient recovered uneventfully and remained asymptomatic at 2-month follow-up.
Conclusions
This case illustrates the feasibility of endoscopic rescue in a challenging scenario after LAMS misdeployment using advanced ERCP and closure techniques.
期刊介绍:
VideoGIE, an official video journal of the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, is an Open Access, online-only journal to serve patients with digestive diseases. VideoGIE publishes original, single-blinded peer-reviewed video case reports and case series of endoscopic procedures used in the study, diagnosis, and treatment of digestive diseases. Videos demonstrate use of endoscopic systems, devices, and techniques; report outcomes of endoscopic interventions; and educate physicians and patients about gastrointestinal endoscopy. VideoGIE serves the educational needs of endoscopists in training as well as advanced endoscopists, endoscopy staff and industry, and patients. VideoGIE brings video commentaries from experts, legends, committees, and leadership of the society. Careful adherence to submission guidelines will avoid unnecessary delays, as incomplete submissions may be returned to the authors before initiation of the peer review process.
