LAMS placement
LAMS placement
In case of an obstruction of the stomach, for example due to pancreatic cancer, a LAMS (lumen-apposing metal stent) can be placed endoscopically. This is a metal self-expanding tube with a rim on either side that allows it to stay in place. In this way a new passage can be made between the stomach and the small intestine.
