SERIOUS AND INFREQUENT COMPLICATION AFTER PLACEMENT OF LAMS - AXIOS - IN A REFRACTORY STENOSIS OF ESOPHAGOYEYUNAL ANASTOMOSIS

Placement of LAMS has been described to drain pancreatic collections and has been use to treat refractory gastrointestinal anastomosis.

We present a 64 year old male with stenosis of esophagoyeyunal anastomosis, refractory to several endoscopic procedures (hydrostatic dilatation, stricturotomy, partially covered ultraflex stent), so we decided to place LAMS (AXIOS).

Later, the patient suffered hemorragic shock. It was performed an angio-CT, with an aorto-enteric fistula, because of decubitus of the LAMS. It was solved with an aortic endoprosthesis. Despite of this, the patient died because of multiple complications.

This complication has never been described before in the literature.
