68 EUS-GUIDED GASTROJEJUNOSTOMY WITH LUMEN APPOSING METAL STENT VERSUS ENTERAL STENT PLACEMENT FOR PALLIATION OF MALIGNANT GASTRIC OUTLET OBSTRUCTION

Enteral stent placement is commonly performed for palliation of obstructive symptoms caused by malignant gastric outlet obstruction (GOO). EUS-guided gastrojejunostomy (EUS-GJ) with placement of a lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) is a novel procedure that may offer long lasting patency with fewer incidence of stent failure, however there is limited data comparing EUS-GJ to enteral stent placement.
