Percutaneous Transgastric Duodenal Stenting and Gastrostomy Repair Using a Vascular Closure Device: Proof of Concept in a Porcine Model
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Introduction. Gastroduodenal stenting is efficacious and safe in both benign and malignant foregut diseases. Transgastric duodenal stenting has been described and however requires a gastrostomy tube to remain in situ for 4 to 6 weeks post-procedure which can lead to complications. We present a technique for immediate gastric repair using a suture-mediated vascular closure device, without the need for a gastrostomy tube in porcine models. Methods. Percutaneous access into the stomach was achieved using fluoroscopy. Two or 3 Perclose Proglide devices were pre-deployed. The tract was dilated and a wire advanced into the distal duodenum. A 15.5 cm covered enteric stent was delivered through the gastrostomy, deployed and position confirmed. The gastrostomy was closed using Perclose Proglide sutures. Necropsy leak pressure measurement was performed to assess integrity of gastrostomy closure in the porcine models. Results. Two (n = 8) or 3 (n = 2) Perclose Proglide devices were deployed in ten porcine models, with 1 misfire (4.5%). Percutaneous transgastric access and stent delivery was successful in all porcine models. Mean leak pressure in the animals with adequately deployed devices was 219 mmHg (range 172 mmHg–270 mmHg). Conclusion. This study demonstrates percutaneous transgastric duodenal stenting with immediate gastric repair using suture-mediated vascular closure devices is a feasible procedure.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
