摘要

Background

Endoscopic stenting for malignant distal duodenal and jejunal obstructions is challenging because the length of conventional gastroscopes is insufficient to reach the obstruction point. A fully inflated balloon catheter freely navigates the duodenum and jejunum without causing bowel injury by burying the catheter tip. It easily changes its direction for guidewire relocation, conforming to the angulation of the small bowel flexures. This study evaluated the feasibility and efficacy of stone extraction balloon catheter-assisted endoscopic stenting for malignant distal duodenal and proximal jejunal obstructions.

Methods

Patients with malignant distal duodenal or jejunal obstructions who underwent stone extraction balloon catheter-assisted duodenal stenting between January 2015 and December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.

Results

We evaluated 30 patients in this study. Pancreatic cancer is the primary cause of duodenal obstruction, with the third portion of the duodenum being the most common obstruction site. Technical success was achieved in 100% of cases, and the clinical success rate was 100%. The median procedure time was 35 min, and the mean gastric outlet obstruction score (GOOSS) improved from 1.20 (pre-procedure) to 2.87 (post-procedure). Early stent migration was encountered in one patient. During follow-up, stent dysfunction was noted in nine (30%) patients, and the overall stent patency time was 145 days.

Conclusion

Stone extraction balloon catheter-assisted endoscopic stenting is an effective and reproducible technique for treating malignant distal duodenal and jejunal obstructions.
