Delayed ipsilateral intestinal perforation after endoscopic gastrojejunostomy: A perspective on underlying mechanisms

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The endoscopic management for malignant gastric outlet obstruction has expanded with the advent of endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastrojejunostomy. Delayed perforation after endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastrojejunostomy is an important yet rarely reported adverse event, and it is unclear why some patients may suffer this complication. We present a case of intestinal perforation occurring one month after endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastrojejunostomy and discuss potential mechanisms which may contribute to this outcome.
