Popis: 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.
