Treatment of Gastrointestinal Bleeding in the Biliopancreatic Limb with Embolization in a Patient with Duodenal Switch Anatomy.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Introduction
Biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD/DS) is an uncommon type of bariatric surgery that can rarely lead to bleeding in the biliopancreatic limb. The altered anatomy poses significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.Case presentation
We present an unusual case of a woman status post-BPD/DS nearly a decade ago who presented with gastrointestinal bleeding in the duodenum of the biliopancreatic limb, a rare phenomenon given the unique surgery.Conclusion
We illustrate a promising minimally invasive option of successfully treating the bleeding by interventional radiology (IR) embolization as an alternative to more invasive and challenging options of balloon-assisted enteroscopy, lumen-apposing metal stent placement and surgical intraoperative enteroscopy.
