Gastric Perforation Caused by an Intragastric Balloon: Endoscopic Findings.

ABSTRACT: Intragastric balloon (IGB) insertion has been most frequently used in the West as an effective endoscopic treatment for morbid obesity, in practice. Recently, there is a growing number of cases requiring IGB deployment for obesity treatment in Korea. One of the reported complications of IGB use is gastric perforation. A 47-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital with mild symptoms, 7 weeks after having an IGB placed. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy was performed and gastric ulcer perforation was observed in the ulcer base, where food particles were impacted. Laparoscopic primary repair was done successfully. This was a case of gastric perforation, secondary to poor compliance with a proton-pump inhibitor (PPI). PPI and Helicobacter pylori eradication are important for ulcer prevention following IGB deployment.

Endoscopic intragastric balloon: a gimmick or a viable option for obesity?

Project description:Worldwide, the prevalence of obesity has doubled since 1980 in 70 countries. More than one in three adults now suffer from overweight or obesity. Health problems related to obesity include orthopedic problems, psychiatric conditions, metabolic and cardiovascular diseases, and of increasing concern, cancer. Thus, obesity has an enormous impact on the individual's wellbeing as well as on society's workforce and health care expenses. Medical efforts are ongoing to find safe and effective treatment options for obesity and its metabolic implications. At present, available treatment options include lifestyle interventions, pharmacotherapy, endoscopic applications, and bariatric surgery. Within the range of endoscopic treatment options, the intragastric balloon is the most widely used device. The idea is simple: the gastric volume is reduced by a balloon that is in most cases implanted by an endoscopic procedure similar to a gastroscopy. During the past decades, different models have been developed, which we will briefly introduce in this review. We aim at reviewing the pathophysiology underlying the effect of endoscopic intragastric balloon on weight loss and metabolic changes. We will assess expected short-term and long-term benefits for the patient, and we will discuss common side effects as well as rare complications. We will compare endoscopic intragastric balloon to conservative treatment options with or without pharmacological support on the one hand and to the spectrum of bariatric surgery on the other hand. In most patients, obesity must be considered a chronic disease that requires a lifelong treatment concept. In view of current treatment options for obesity, we will discuss whether endoscopic intragastric balloon is a viable treatment option, and who may be the right patient to benefit from it.

A Magnetic Soft Endoscopic Capsule-Inflated Intragastric Balloon for Weight Management.

Project description:Overweight and obesity have been identified as a cause of high risk diseases like diabetes and cancer. Although conventional Intragastric Balloons (IGBs) have become an efficient and less invasive method for overweight and obesity treatment, the use of conventional tools such as catheter or endoscope to insert and remove the IGBs from the patient's body causes nausea, vomiting, discomfort, and even gastric mucous damage. To eliminate these drawbacks, we develop a novel magnetic soft capsule device with gas-filled balloon inflation. The balloon is made from a thin and biocompatible material that can be inflated to a desired volume using biocompatible effervescent chemicals. In addition, both the outer balloon and inner capsule are designed to be soft and chemical resistance. The soft capsule shell is fabricated using scaffold-solvent approach while the outer balloon utilizes a novel fabrication approach for 3D spherical structure. A prototype of the proposed capsule and balloon is given. Experiments are successfully carried out in stimulated gastric environment and fresh porcine stomach to validate the effectiveness and reliability of the proposed approach.

Intragastric Balloon Versus Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty for the Treatment of Obesity: a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Project description:BackgroundWe aimed to individually evaluate IGB and ESG procedures and compare the efficacy, durability, and safety of these procedures.MethodsBibliographic databases were systematically searched for studies investigating the use of IGB and ESG for the treatment of obesity. Studies reporting percent total weight loss (%TWL) or percent excess weight loss (%EWL) with at least 12 months of follow-up were included.ResultsA total of 28 studies were included in the final analysis. Only 1 study directly compared ESG to IGB, 9 studies evaluated ESG alone, while 18 studies evaluated IGB. At 12-month follow-up after ESG, mean %TWL was 17.51 (95% CI 16.44-18.58), and %EWL was 60.51 (95% CI 54.39-66.64). Mean %TWL and %EWL after IGB at 12 months was 10.35 (95% CI 8.38-12.32) and 29.65 (95% CI 25.40-33.91), respectively. Mean %TWL and %EWL after IGB were significantly decreased at 18 or 24 months compared to 6 months indicating weight regain after IGB removal. ESG achieved significantly superior weight loss compared to IGB, the difference in mean %TWL was 7.33 (95% CI 5.22-9.44, p value = 0.0001) at 12 months. Serious adverse events were observed in < 5% for both procedures.ConclusionAlthough ESG and IGB are safe and effective for weight loss, our study suggests that ESG results in more significant and sustained weight loss. Nevertheless, a variety of approaches are essential to care for this underserved population, and there are several factors other than weight loss that should be considered in selecting the ideal therapy for individual patients.

Intragastric balloon insertion and pancreatitis: Case series.

Project description:INTRODUCTION:Obesity is a complex multifactorial disease that affects populations worldwide. In Kuwait, the prevalence of obesity is a major public health problem. Intra-Gastric Balloon (IGB) is commonly used as a non-operative strategy among bariatric patients. However, with the increasing use of IGB, life-threatening adverse outcomes are widely reported. PRESENTATION OF CASES:A case series five patients presenting with pancreatitis from IGB in Kuwait is reported to better investigate the emerging complications of IGB. Three types of IGB were inserted, these include the Orbera Intragastric Balloon System, Orbera365 Intragastric Balloon System, and the Spatz Adjustable Gastric. The clinical course of balloon pancreatitis is described. DISCUSSION:The case series examined existing case reports of IGB associated pancreatitis in the literature, in addition to the investigated clinical outcomes. Patients presented with mild pancreatitis, and removal of balloon resulted in significant improvement in symptoms. Pathogenesis of balloon pancreatitis could be secondary to the pancreas compression by the IGB. CONCLUSION:Despite the rarity of balloon pancreatitis, it needs to be recognized as a complication of IGB insertion. Further research is needed to better understand the implications of the balloon size, shape, volume and location of balloon insertion in order to prevent this fatal complication.

Small bowel obstruction from migrated intragastric balloon.

Project description:Intestinal obstruction resulted from balloon migration is an extremely rare but serious late complication of the intragastric balloon (IGB). The aim of this study is to report a case of small bowel obstruction occurring in a middle age corpulent female following embedding of IGB. A 47-year-old obese female presented with abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting for two days. She had a history of an endoscopically placed IGB nine months before presentation. Physical examination showed an obese woman with mild distress, and the right upper abdomen was tender. The plain abdominal radiograph showed gas shadow in the stomach and the duodenum, esophago-gastro-duodenoscopy showed an empty stomach and balloon migration from the stomach. Under general anesthesia, laparotomy was performed, a three-centimeter antimesenteric enterotomy was done and the balloon extracted from the proximal jejunum. Intestinal obstruction is an extremely rare complication of IGB. It should be managed by laparotomy and extraction of the balloon.

The Obalon swallowable intragastric balloon in pediatric and adolescent morbid obesity.

Project description:Background and study aims?Incidence of morbid obesity has grown dramatically in the last half century and this phenomenon affects with particular severity the pediatric population. Dietary restrictions and careful programs to improve lifestyle are often ineffective to manage this particular group of patients, due to poor compliance typical of the adolescence. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a new intragastric balloon for treatment of morbidly obese children. Patients and methods?A new swallowable intragastric balloon (Obalon) has been used for the first time in 17 obese children in order to assess its safety and effectiveness in terms of reduction in excess weight. In 9 of 17 children a second balloon was placed 30 to 40 days after the first insertion. All devices were endoscopically removed after a mean time of 18 weeks. Results?In the group of 16 patients who completed the study (1 patient still under treatment) mean weight decreased from 95.8?±?18.4?Kg to 83.6?±?27.1 (P?<?0.05). Mean body mass index (BMI) decreased from 35.27± 5.89 (range 30.4?-?48) to 32.25?±?7.1 (range 23.5?-?45.7) (P?>?0.05); mean excess weight, calculated according to Cole's curves for pediatric populations, decreased from 36.2?±?15.9 to 29.4?±?18.3?Kg (P?=?0.14), with an %EWL of 20.1?±?9.8 (range 2.3?-?35.1). Waist circumference decreased from 109?±?12.3?cm to 99?±?10.5?cm (P?<?0.05). Conclusions?Obalon can be administered easily without complications, inducing an appreciable weight loss with a statistically significant reduction in BMI and an improvement in associated comorbidities.

Does combining liraglutide with intragastric balloon insertion improve sustained weight reduction?

Project description:Background/aimIntragastric balloon (IGB) is an effective and safe method of weight reduction. However, IGBs have been associated with a high rate of weight regain post removal. Accordingly, ways to improve sustained weight reduction including concomitant treatment with Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) agonists have been proposed. This study aims to evaluate the effect of adding Liraglutide to IGB insertion on sustained weight reduction.Patients and methodsA retrospective analysis of all cases treated with IGB with or without Liraglutide was performed. Outcomes were statistically compared.ResultsA total of 108 patients were included; 64 were treated with IGB alone and 44 with IGB + Liraglutide. Six months after removing IGB, patients treated with IGB + Liraglutide had a higher mean weight loss post treatment completion (10.2 ± 6.7 vs. 18.5 ± 7.6, P = <0.0001) than those treated with IGB alone. After adjusting for covariates, patients treated with IGB alone demonstrated a higher mean body weight loss at the time of IGB removal (coefficient 7.71, 95% CI = 4.78-10.63), and a higher odds of treatment success 6 months post IGB removal (OR = 5.74, 95% CI = 1.79-188.42). Baseline body mass index appeared to be a significant predictor of mean body weight loss at the time of balloon removal.ConclusionsAdding Liraglutide to IGB does not appear to decrease the risk of weight regain 6 months post IGB removal.
