Treatment of Benign Gastric Outlet Obstruction (B-GOO) with Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Gastroenteroanastomosis (EUS-GE) Using Lumen-Apposing Metal Stent (LAMS): Long-Term Assessment

Aims Endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastroenteroanastomosis (EUS-GE) with lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) is commonly employed for malignant gastric outlet obstruction (GOO). However, 30-40% of GOO cases have a benign aetiology (B-GOO). Traditionally managed surgically, B-GOO poses challenges for poor operative candidates due to comorbidities. This study aims to assess the baseline features, indications, technical success, clinical outcomes, adverse events, and long-term patency of EUS-GE with LAMS in patients with B-GOO
