EUS-guided rendezvous fistula creation for complete anastomotic stenosis after low anterior resection

Although complete stenosis of colorectal anastomosis is rare, we argue for the role and safety profile of EUS-guided lumen-apposing metal stent insertion given the ability to distend the proximal aspect of the colon with water to create an accessible target for fistula creation, which offers a minimally invasive alternative to major surgery.
