New Anchoring Mechanism and Design of an Endoluminal Duodeno-Jejunal Bypass Liner for Treatment of Obesity: a Pilot Animal Trial

Objective Complications of bleeding, liver abscess and movement have been associated with previous duodeno-jejunal bypass liner (DJBL) applications in the past. A new anchoring system and design of a DJBL is presented as a pilot study. Method A newly designed DJBL device was inserted in 2 pigs and o...

Description
Summary:Objective Complications of bleeding, liver abscess and movement have been associated with previous duodeno-jejunal bypass liner (DJBL) applications in the past. A new anchoring system and design of a DJBL is presented as a pilot study. Method A newly designed DJBL device was inserted in 2 pigs and observed over 2 months. Results The newly designed device was anchored and monitored for 1 month in 1 of 2 pigs, the other being passed early. Effectiveness and safety have been shown. Conclusion The results of this pilot study warrant further investigation of the modified DJBL setup, which may help solve standing issues associated with the clinical use of a DJB liner.
