Feasibility of a new bariatric fully endoscopic duodenal-jejunal bypass: a pilot study in adult obese pigs

This study assessed a new natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) bariatric endoscopic procedure in obese adult pigs. This 14-week prospective study compared 6 adult male Yucatan test pigs with baseline mean age 1.5 years to 2 control pigs. The test pigs received a fully endoscopic N...

Zusammenfassung:This study assessed a new natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) bariatric endoscopic procedure in obese adult pigs. This 14-week prospective study compared 6 adult male Yucatan test pigs with baseline mean age 1.5 years to 2 control pigs. The test pigs received a fully endoscopic NOTES-based duodenal-jejunal bypass including measurement of the bypassed limb and creation of a gastrojejunal anastomosis (GJA) using a gastrojejunal lumen-apposing metal stent (GJ-LAMS) at Week 0, placement of a duodenal exclusion device (DED) at Week 2, and endoscopic examinations at Weeks 6 and 10. At Week 14, the pigs were sacrificed for necropsy. All endoscopic procedures were technically successful. By Week 14, the controls had gained a mean 1.1 ± 2.1 kg (+ 1.6%) while the intervention animals lost a mean 6.8 ± 3.9 kg (− 10.5%) since baseline. GJ-LAMS migrations occurred in 3 pigs, two of which also had DED migration and/or partial dislocation. Two other pigs died, one with aberrant splenic vein positioning near the GJA and the other from an unknown cause. An endoscopic bariatric bypass procedure with controlled bypass length was technically successful in all the cases and led to weight loss in test animals. Safety concerns must be further addressed.
