Abstract
|
|
Introduction:
Microperforation of the stomach following bariatric surgical procedures is often treated with endoluminal stent placement. Endoluminal stents migrate out of the desired position in a high frequency of cases.
Case Series: This paper reports a series of five cases in which endoluminal stents migrated antegrade into unfavorable positions. One of the cases resulted in the stent migrating into the jejunum where it resulted in a jejunal perforation requiring surgery and bowel resection. After endoscopic repositioning of the stents, endoluminal suture fixation resulted in stabilization of the stents, prevented further migration, and facilitated clinical resolution of gastric fistula. No complications of the endoluminal suture fixation to the esophageal wall occurred, and all patients recovered fully. Conclusion: This paper presents five cases of migrated gastroesophageal stents that were successfully secured with endoluminal sutures without complications. Endoluminal suturing may be a technically straightforward and useful solution to the migration of gastroesophageal stents. | |
