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.
