Abstract
The ShapeLock enteroscopy guide can allow access to the upper-GI tract in patients after RYGB, provided the GJ anastomosis is of adequate diameter. This study suggested that the technique is safe and has the potential to allow therapeutic interventions in the defunctionalized stomach and duodenum, including ERCP.
