Abstract: Endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastroenterostomy (EUS-GE) with a lumen-apposingmetal stent (LAMS) (Hot Axios; Boston Scientific, USA) effectively manages afferent loop syndrome [1, 2]. The LAMS prevents stent migration and fluid leakage. However, because the distance between the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1055/a-2007-1952
Abstract: Candy cane syndrome refers to an excessive blind jejunal limb length in gastroor esophago-jejunostomy. This conformation favors its preferential filling and progressive dilation across time, which pushes against the efferent limb and impedes its outlet… read more here.
