Abstract

Gastrojejunostomy anastomotic stricture following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is a common complication of the surgery, which can result in significant morbidity and impaired quality of life for patients. Past endoscopic interventions have been limited in their durability of response, in particular for recurrent strictures. Here, we illustrate the use of a lumen-apposing metal stent with endoscopic suturing for long-term management of a gastrojejunostomy anastomotic stricture after failed balloon dilation with excellent patient outcome at 6 months follow stent removal.
