[PMID: 37168507 PMCID: PMC10166390 DOI: 10.14309/crj.0000000000001043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2023] [Accepted: 03/27/2023] [Indexed: 05/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Afferent loop syndrome can result from both benign and malignant strictures of the biliary limbs of patients with surgically altered anatomy. Afflicted patients accumulate intestinal and pancreaticobiliary secretions, which leads to bowel distention and pain. We describe the endoscopic management of a 52-year-old woman with a history of Billroth II gastrojejunostomy due to gastric cancer who developed malignant gastric outlet obstruction and subsequently malignant afferent loop syndrome, using lumen-apposing metal stents.

World J Clin Cases 2022; 10:7609-7616. [PMID: 36157983 PMCID: PMC9353917 DOI: 10.12998/wjcc.v10.i21.7609] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2022] [Revised: 05/18/2022] [Accepted: 06/15/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastrografin swallow, methylthioninium chloride test, and computed tomography (CT) are the main methods for postoperative anastomotic fistula detection. Correct selection and application of examinations and therapies are significant for the early diagnosis and treatment of small anastomotic fistulas after radical gastrectomy, which are conducive to postoperative recovery.
CASE SUMMARY A 44-year-old woman underwent radical total gastrectomy for laparoscopic gastric cancer. The patient developed a fever after surgery. The methylthioninium chloride test and early CT suggested no anastomotic fistula, but gastrografin swallow and late CT showed the opposite result. The fistula was successfully closed using an endoscopic clip. The methylthioninium chloride test, gastrografin, and CT performed on different postoperative dates for small esophagojejunostomy fistulas are different. The size of the anastomotic fistula is an important factor for the success of endoscopic treatment.
CONCLUSION The advantages and limitations of the diagnosis of different examinations of small esophagojejunostomy fistulas are noteworthy. The size of the leakage of the anastomosis is an important basis for selecting the repair method.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) among cancer patients is a major source of morbidity and mortality. Although a wide variety of etiologies contribute to GIB, special considerations should be made for cancer-related factors such as the type of malignancy, location and extent of disease, hemostatic parameters, and treatment effects. Key imaging modalities used to evaluate GIB include computed tomography angiography (CTA), radionuclide imaging, and catheter-based angiography. Understanding the cancer and treatment history and recognizing the associated imaging manifestations are important for identifying the source and potential causes of GIB in cancer patients. This article will review the common clinical presentations, causes, imaging manifestations, and angiographic management of GIB in cancer patients.

J Clin Imaging Sci 2022; 12:18. [PMID: 35510240 PMCID: PMC9062906 DOI: 10.25259/jcis_220_2021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2021] [Accepted: 02/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Following low anterior resection (LAR) of the colon, an image-guided assessment of the anastomosis for leak is typically performed using an enema via a rectal catheter, whether by CT or fluoroscopy. However, there is potential for poor assessment due to inappropriate catheter positioning as well as potential risk that the anastomosis becomes compromised by the balloon inflation. This article discusses the adaptation of a novel double-balloon catheter (originally designed by a member of our institution for use in pediatric intussusception reduction) for assessment of low rectal anastomoses. The goal of this technical note is to demonstrate our experience with this catheter, primarily through example cases, and explain its potential for optimizing colon distension, minimizing improper catheter placement, and potentially reducing the risk of iatrogenic anastomosis disruption.
