Percutaneous Transhepatic Bowel Stent Deployment: An Alternative Approach for Malignant Afferent Loop Obstruction Following Whipple's Procedure.
2021
Afferent loop syndrome is an uncommon postoperative complication. Currently, we lack a therapeutic option for treatment of malignant afferent loop obstruction following procedures like Whipple's. Here we present a case of afferent loop obstruction in a known case of pancreatic carcinoma, status after Whipple's procedure, in which we used a percutaneous transhepatic approach to relieve the afferent loop obstruction using a self-expanding bare metal stent.
