Endoscopic ultrasonography-guided gastroenterostomy for malignant and benign gastric outlet obstruction: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Endoscopic ultrasonography-guided gastroenterostomy (EUS-GE) with a lumen-apposing metal stent has been proposed as a treatment for patients with gastric outlet obstruction (GOO). We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to compute the technical success, clinical success and complication rates of EUS-GE in treating GOO due to either neoplastic or benign diseases.

Methods

The literature search was conducted in PubMed, EMBASE and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, from inception until January 23, 2025, according to the PRISMA and MOOSE statement guidelines. The primary objective was to assess both technical and clinical success. A secondary outcome was to rate the adverse events.

Results

Data from 39 studies involving 2845 patients
