Abstract

ABSTRACT Gastrojejunal anastomotic strictures are common postsurgical complications that may be treated endoscopically. In some cases, conventional endoscopic dilations may prove ineffective, prompting consideration of covered self-expandable metal stents as the next step. However, the efficacy of these stents may be limited by their risk of migration. Lumen-apposing self-expandable metallic stents pose a lower migration risk because of their unique design and offer a possible off-label solution for recalcitrant strictures. We describe a patient with a postsurgical, gastrojejunal anastomotic stricture refractory to several interventions, who achieved long-lasting remission of symptoms after a 12-month trial of lumen-apposing self-expandable metallic stent placement.
