A NOVEL LUMEN APPOSING METAL STENT FIXATION TECHNIQUE USING A TACK DEVICE

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video presents a novel technique for fixing metal stents using a tagged device in a 31-year-old woman with post-operative stenosis after a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. The patient showed intolerance to oral intake due to a gastrojejunal anastomosis obstruction. A new endoscopic technique utilizing three tacks effectively secured a Loom in Opposing Metal Stent, ensuring its position and maintaining passage through the anastomosis. The patient's symptoms improved post-procedure, and a 3-month follow-up confirmed stent retention. This technique is deemed safe and potentially beneficial in therapeutic endoscopy and ultrasound applications.
