Tu1092 SAFETY AND EFFICACY OF ENDOSCOPICALLY SECURED FULLY COVERED SELF EXPANDABLE METALLIC STENTS (FCSEMS) IN THE STOMACH

Abstract:

Background Symptomatic gastric strictures or stenosis in the context of post-surgical anatomy can be recalcitrant to conventional endoscopic therapies, with patients often requiring surgical revision. Fully covered self expandable metallic stents (FCSEMS) in conjunction with our ability to secure the stent with endoscopic sutures has opened the door to treat non-malignant gastric stenosis. Aim To assess the technical feasibility, efficacy, tolerability and safety of long term dwell of endoscopically secured FCSEMS in the stomach. Methods A retrospective review of a prospectively collected database (September-2016 to November-2017) was performed to identify consecutive patients who underwent EGD and through the scope FCSEMS insertion in the stomach. The stent was endoscopically secured with four 2-0 Prolene sutures with the use of a full thickness endoscopic suturing system. The suture pattern was as follows …
