Abstract
Patients with a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass may be challenging diagnostic and therapeutic dilemmas for gastroenterologists and endoscopists due to anatomic considerations. Pancreaticobiliary limb pathology is particularly difficult to diagnose from standard endoscopic approaches as it often requires double balloon enteroscopy. Percutaneous access and gastrostomy placement into the gastric remnant, however, is a commonly performed procedure by interventional radiology. This report describes the identification of duodenal perforation and Graham patch dehiscence in the pancreaticobiliary limb of a patient with a prior Roux-en-Y gastric bypass who had failed traditional endoscopic measures, using transgastric remnant interventional duodenoscopy and confirmed with methylene blue injection into a periduodenal abscess.
