A Trial of the Jejunal to Ileal Diversion Endoscopic Procedure (Side-to-Side Anastomosis)

Overview

This is a single center study to assess metabolic effects in subjects after a Jejunal to Ileal Diversion procedure was performed using colonoscopes.

Study Type

  • Study Type: Interventional
  • Study Design
    • Allocation: N/A
    • Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
    • Primary Purpose: Treatment
    • Masking: None (Open Label)
  • Study Primary Completion Date: April 2016

Detailed Description

The Jejunal to Ileal Diversion procedure is an adaptation of a biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch, which is a surgical procedure used to treat metabolic syndrome conditions. The small bowel diversion of the jejunum into the ileum by creating a single anastomosis just beyond the ligament of Trietz will be studied. Up to 15 eligible subjects will be enrolled into the trial. Enrollment will stop once 10 subjects have undergone the Jejunal to Ileal Diversion procedure.

Interventions

  • Device: Jejunal to Ileal Diversion
    • The Jejunal to Ileal Diversion procedure will be performed using colonoscopes to place magnets to create a side to side compression anastomosis. The colonoscope delivered magnet creates the proximal end of the anastomosis approximately 100 cm distal from the ligament of Treitz. The colonoscope delivered magnets creates the distal end of the anastomosis approximately 100 cm proximal from the ileocecal junction.

Arms, Groups and Cohorts

  • Experimental: Jejunal to Ileal Diversion
    • All subjects who receive jejunal to ileal diversion endoscopic procedure
