Abstract: Patients with gastric bypass anatomy face unique challenges and limited options with respect to endoscopy in the bypassed portion of the stomach and duodenum.1 Here we introduce a novel technique for EUS-guided creation of a temporary access tract and demonstrate various therapeutic interventions that can be safely and effectively performed across the access tract in the bypassed duodenum (Video 1, available online at www.VideoGIE.org).
