Abstrakt: The development of endoscopic ultrasound and lumen-apposing metal stents has resulted in novel therapeutic opportunities with the possibility of establishing a persistent transmural anastomosis for the treatment of multiple gastrointestinal disorders. This review presents the applications and the evidence of endoscopic ultrasound and lumen-apposing metal stents. The modality is an alternative for several upper gastrointestinal disorders. Further research and future technological development will show the final position of this therapy in the current treatment algorithm.
