Dec 4, 2017 · Now available at Cleveland Clinic, endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastrojejunostomy is a noninvasive method for creating a bypass around a gastric obstruction.

More recently, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided GJ has emerged as a potential alternative to traditional surgical and endoscopic approaches. This review focuses on the new advances and technical aspects of EUS-GJ and clinical outcomes in the management of both benign and malignant disease.

EUS-GJ is an emerging procedure that allows symptom relief in patients who have GOO without the risks of surgical bypass and the limited long-term efficacy of enteral SEMS placement 4.

Nov 3, 2018 · EUS-GJ is a safe and minimally invasive modality that would be an ideal alternative for surgery in patients who fail standard endoscopic stenting. It provides long duration of luminal patency with no high risk of adverse events and without the morbidity associated with surgery.

May 23, 2021 · Endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastrojejunostomy (EUS-GJ) is a procedure that utilizes a lumen apposing metal stent (LAMS) to connect the stomach to the jejunum to bypass an obstruction most commonly due to a duodenal or pancreatic mass.

Nov 3, 2018 · EUS-GJ involves obtaining access to the jejunum endoscopically and sonographically from the stomach, using a biflanged lumen apposing metal stent (LAMS). This is achieved through a newly formed fistulous tract. Thus …

Endoscopic ultrasound guided gastrojejunostomy (EUS-GJ) via placement of a lumen apposing metal stent has recently emerged as a viable and effective method of managing GOO.

May 6, 2023 · Endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastroejejunostomy (EUS-GJ) has gained popularity in treating malignant gastric outlet obstruction (GOO). EUS-GJ has also been used to manage benign GOO with promising technical and clinical success.

Jun 17, 2024 · Recently, endoscopic ultrasound-guided (EUS) gastrojejunostomy (GJ) has emerged as an alternative option to surgical palliation and endoscopic duodenal stenting for malignant gastric outlet obstruction (GOO).

Endoscopic ultrasound guided gastrojejunostomy (EUS-GJ) with lumen apposing metal stents has recently emerged as a viable option, as an alternative to surgical gastrojejunostomy and endoscopic enteral stenting, for managing gastric outlet obstruction (GOO).
