NSAIDs-Related Pyloroduodenal Obstruction and Its Endoscopic Management

الملخص EN

Endoscopic balloon dilatation (EBD) has important role in the management of benign gastric outlet obstruction.

Although there are many reports on the role of EBD in the management of corrosive-induced and peptic benign GOO, there is scanty data on its role in the management of NSAID-induced GOO.

We report 10 cases of NSAID-induced pyloroduodenal obstruction and their endoscopic management.

The most common site of involvement was duodenum (5/10) followed by both pylorus and duodenum (4/10) and pylorus (1/10).

Most of the strictures were short web-like, and the mean (SD) number of stricture was 2.0 (0.94).

Endoscopic balloon dilatation was successful in 90% (9/10) cases requiring mean (SD) of 2.0 (1.6) sessions of dilatation to achieve target diameter of 15 mm and mean (SD) of 5.3 (2.7) sessions to maintain it over a treatment period of 4.5 months (IQR 2–15 months).

There was no procedure-related complication or mortality.
