Procedure to reverse bypass using an endoscopic stent
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial studies a minimally invasive procedure that uses a stent placed through an endoscope to create a new connection in the stomach, with the goal of reversing a Roux-en-y gastric bypass. It may help people whose bypass has led to nutrition problems, severe dumping symptoms, difficult marginal ulcers, or liver scarring that worsens after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had Roux-en-y gastric bypass and are being considered for bypass reversal
- You have one of these main problems: ongoing nutrition issues needing IV nutrition, severe dumping symptoms despite diet, hard-to-treat marginal ulcers with narrowing causing feeding trouble, or liver scarring (advanced fibrosis) with signs you may worsen after bypass
- Your blood clotting issues can be treated or are not “unfixable”
- You do not have significant portal hypertension (for example, enlarged blood vessels in the esophagus or stomach, or other pressure/hemodynamic measurements that meet study limits)
- You can safely participate: not pregnant/breastfeeding, able to use reliable birth control if applicable, and your overall health is not too poor

This trial compares two surgical procedures to relieve stomach blockage caused by advanced stomach cancer that cannot be removed. The goal is to find which method better helps patients eat and improves quality of life.
This trial compares two ways to bypass a blockage in your stomach caused by cancer near the pancreas or duodenum. Both approaches create a new connection so food can pass through, but one uses a camera-guided tube (endoscopic) and the other is surgical. The study will see which works better for your symptoms and quality of life.
This trial compares three ways to relieve a stomach or duodenal blockage caused by pancreatic cancer: placing a stent, performing a bypass with a thin tube (endoscopy), or surgical bypass. It aims to find which option helps patients eat and feel better sooner.
This trial compares two surgical methods to bypass a blocked stomach outlet caused by advanced stomach cancer, helping patients eat and digest food more easily. It aims to see which operation gives better relief with fewer complications.
This study looks at whether a specific stomach bypass revision (a “distal gastric bypass”) can improve outcomes after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass when weight loss was not enough or weight was regained. You may be considered if you meet weight-loss goals criteria and can join follow-up and possibly surgery.
This study compares two ways to reconnect the digestive system after removing the lower part of the stomach for early-stage stomach cancer. The aim is to see if adding a small bypass (Braun anastomosis) reduces bile reflux and improves quality of life after surgery.
