Malignant gastric outlet obstruction is a very disabling complication of patients with gastric, duodenal, ampullary, pancreatic, or bile duct cancer and worsens their prognosis. Current treatments have reported a similar complication rate and higher mortality in surgically treated patients. Recently, the creation of endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastroenterostomy (EUS) has shown promising results in these patients. The aim of this research is to determine the safety and efficacy of EUS-guided gastro-enterostomy in the treatment of patients with malignant gastric outlet obstruction.
