Abstract

BACKGROUND: The technical and clinical effectiveness of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS)-guided gastroenterostomy (GE) has been reported by several meta-analyses, but few of them have addressed the adverse events (AE). The goal of the current meta-analysis was to analyze the AEs associated with various types of EUS-GE.

METHODS: All relevant studies reporting the AEs with EUS-GE were searched from 2000 to 31st March 2023 in MEDLINE, Embase, and Scopus. The event rates were pooled using a random effects model.

RESULTS: A total of 36 studies (n = 1846) were included in the meta-analysis. The present meta-analysis reports a pooled technical success rate of 96.9% (95.9-98.0; I

CONCLUSION: Despite a technical and clinical success rate of >90%, AEs are seen in around one-seventh of the cases of EUS-GE, maldeployment being the commonest. However, the pooled incidence of serious AE and mortality remains low, which is reassuring.
