PG - 4469-4477 LID - 10.1007/s00464-020-07952-3 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Gastric Access Temporary for Endoscopy (GATE), also known as EUS-Directed Trangastric ERCP (EDGE), has demonstrated advantages over device-assisted enteroscopy (DAE) and laparoscopic-assisted ERCP (LA-ERCP) for patients with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) anatomy. We aimed to directly compare clinical outcomes and cost utility among the three ERCP modalities. METHODS: Patients with RYGB anatomy who had DAE, LA-ERCP, or GATE from 2009 to 2019 at 2 tertiary centers were included in our review. We measured outcomes in three areas: success rate, post-procedural adverse events (AEs) and hospitalization, and cost utility per Medicare/Medicaid insurance payments. RESULTS: Cohort Total 130 patients (70 underwent DAE, 42 LA-ERCP, and 18 GATE). Success rate DAE was successful in 59% of patients, compared to success rates of 98 and 100% for LA-ERCP and GATE, respectively (p < 0.001). For DAE, 62% of unsuccessful cases required rescue therapy. Adverse events and hospitalization Patients who underwent GATE had the lowest rate of hospitalization post procedure (44% vs. 77% and 100% for DAE and LA-ERCP, respectively, p < 0.01) and spent the least amount of time hospitalized (median time 0 days vs 2 and 3 days for DAE and LA-ERCP, respectively, p < 0.0001). GATE had lower AE rates than LA-ERCP (6 vs 31%, p = 0.046), and both had similar rates to DAE. Cost utility LA-ERCP carried the highest total procedural and hospitalization cost per Medicare/ Medicaid insurance payments (median payment difference of $9.7 K vs GATE and $7.9 K vs DAE, p < 0.01 for both). Procedural and hospitalization costs were similar between GATE and DAE (p = 0.76). CONCLUSIONS: GATE is a safe modality for ERCP with high success rates in RYGB patients and exhibits the lowest hospitalization time and rate of adverse events when compared to DAE and LA-ERCP. GATE is similar to DAE from a cost utility approach, and both are less costly than LA-ERCP.
