Core Tip	Malignant gastric outlet obstruction is a clinical syndrome affecting patients with advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma, gastric and duodenal cancer, or retroperitoneal neoplasms. Recently, endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastroenterostomy using a lumen-apposing metal stent has been proposed as a minimally invasive and long-lasting endoscopic palliative treatment for this condition. This technique has not only shown similar technical and clinical success rate to those of surgical gastro-jejunostomy and endoscopic enteral stent placement, but it also presents with lower rate of reintervention, adverse events, and costs.
