Management of afferent loop obstruction using multiple single-pigtail plastic stents in a patient with recurrent metastatic pancreatic cancer.

Abstract

Malignant afferent loop obstruction (mALO) is defined as duodenal or jejunal mechanical obstruction at the proximal anastomosis site of a gastrojejunostomy associated with locoregional tumor recurrence. As the general condition of patients with tumor recurrence is poor, accurate and rapid diagnosis and minimally invasive treatment are required [1].
