Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: EUS-directed transgastric ERCP (the EDGE procedure) is a simplified method of performing ERCP in Roux-en-Y gastric bypass patients. The EDGE procedure involves placement of a lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) into the excluded stomach to serve as a conduit for passage of the duodenoscope for pancreatobiliary intervention. Originally a multistep process, urgent indications for ERCP have led to the development of single-session EDGE (SS-EDGE) with LAMS placement and ERCP performed in the same session. The goal of this study was to identify predictive factors of intraprocedural LAMS migration in SS-EDGE.
METHODS: We conducted a multicenter retrospective review that included 9 tertiary medical centers across the United States. Data were collected and analyzed from 128 SS-EDGE procedures. The primary outcome was intraprocedural LAMS migration. Secondary outcomes were other procedural adverse events such as bleeding and perforation.
RESULTS: Eleven LAMS migrations were observed in 128 procedures (8.6%). Univariate analysis of clinically relevant variables was performed, as was a binary logistic regression analysis of stent diameter and stent dilation. This revealed that use of a smaller (15 mm) diameter LAMS was an independent predictor of intraprocedural stent migration (odds ratio, 5.36; 95% confidence interval, 1.29-22.24; P = .021). Adverse events included 3 patients who required surgery and 2 who experienced intraprocedural bleeding.
CONCLUSIONS: Use of a larger-diameter LAMS is a predictive factor for a nonmigrated stent and improved procedural success in SS-EDGE. Although larger patient cohorts are needed to adequately assess these findings, performance of LAMS dilation and fixation may also decrease risk of intraprocedural LAMS migration and improve procedural success.
