Résumé

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess the feasibility of a totally endoscopic enteral bypass using a self-orienting, dual ring, magnetic anastomosis system (MAGNAMOSIS) guided by a magnetic tracking system (3D METRIS). MATERIALS AND METHODS: In an anesthetized pig, 2 endoscopes were advanced, one each into the stomach and the colon. Both endoscopes were equipped with a MAGNAMOSIS ring secured with an endoscopic snare and a 3D METRIS within one working channel. The whole procedure was followed laparoscopically. The tracking system guided tips of endoscopes to a "rendez-vous" location between the colon and stomach. RESULTS: MAGNAMOSIS magnets automatically joined in the correct configuration when guided to within 2 cm of each other. At necropsy, magnetic rings were secure without entrapment of excess bowel or mesentery. CONCLUSION: An endoscopic enteral bypass with magnetic anastomosis and magnetic tracking device was feasible. More accurate tracking and advanced techniques could enable endoscopic bypasses at multiple sites in the gastrointestinal tract.
