A novel through-the-scope exchangeable double balloon catheter to guide endoscopic bypass: a practice-changing technology in the management of malignant gastric outlet obstruction
FY 2023-24
Summary
Cancers located around the stomach and the first part of the intestines can often lead to obstruction of the lumen. Patients with this problem can no longer eat or drink and suffer from symptoms of nausea and vomiting. Endoscopic bypass is a new technique that has been shown to be better than current treatments for obstruction. However, this technique is difficult and can lead to severe complications if not done by the most expert operators. We have devised a novel guidance catheter that will greatly enhance the ease and safety of endoscopic bypass. Our device will allow for greater and safer adoption of endoscopic bypass leading to improved clinical outcomes in cancer patients.

Abstract
Cancers located around the stomach and the first part of the intestines can often lead to obstruction of the lumen. Patients with this problem can no longer eat or drink and suffer from symptoms of nausea and vomiting. Endoscopic bypass is a new technique that has been shown to be better than current treatments for obstruction. However, this technique is difficult and can lead to severe complications if not done by the most expert operators. We have devised a novel guidance catheter that will greatly enhance the ease and safety of endoscopic bypass. Our device will allow for greater and safer adoption of endoscopic bypass leading to improved clinical outcomes in cancer patients.
