EUS-guided gastroenterostomy for malignant gastric outlet obstruction: impact of clinical and demographic factors on outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

EUS-guided gastroenterostomy (EUS-GE) has emerged as an alternative to surgical gastrojejunostomy and endoluminal stenting for malignant gastric outlet obstruction (MGOO). Studies regarding factors associated with the EUS-GE outcomes are limited.

Methods

A retrospective observational study was conducted with consecutive patients who underwent EUS-GE for MGOO from January 2016 to November 2023. Primary outcomes were technical success (establishing EUS-GE) and clinical success (low-residue diet tolerance without re-intervention at 90-day follow-up). Secondary outcomes were adverse events (AEs), reinterventions, and full regular diet tolerance.

Results

Technical success and clinical success rates were 92.70% (127 of 137) and 88.00%, respectively, with
