Introduction: Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS) represent a novel tool in therapeutic endoscopy. However, the presence of LAMS may dissuade surgeons from operations with curative-intent. We report three clinical scenarios with deployment of LAMS in patients that subsequently underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Methods: Six patients identified from our IRB-approved pancreas cancer database had EUS-LAMS placement prior to PD. Patient, tumor, treatment-related variables, and outcomes are herein reported. Results: Two patients underwent a LAMS gastrojejunostomy (GJ) for duodenal obstruction. Another patient underwent LAMS choledochoduodenostomy (CDS) for malignant biliary obstruction. In three patients, a LAMS gastrogastrostomy or jejunogastrostomy was deployed post Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) for a EUS-directed transgastric ERCP (EDGE) procedure. The hospital length of stay after LAMS placement was 0–3 days without morbidity. Patients subsequently proceeded to either classic PD (n = 5) or PPPD (n = 1). Interval from LAMS insertion to surgery ranged from 28 to 194 days. Mean PD operative time and EBL were 513 minutes and 560 mL, respectively. Post-PD hospital length of stay was 4–17 days. Clavien-Dindo IIIb morbidity required percutaneous drainage of intra-abdominal collections in two patients. In cases involving LAMS-GJ and CDS, the LAMS directly impacted the surgeon's preference not to perform pylorus preservation. Conclusions: In this case series, PD following EUS-LAMS was feasible with acceptable morbidity. Additional studies with larger patient populations are needed to evaluate LAMS as a bridge to PD with curative-intent. |
