Introducing and Training for Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Gastroenterostomy with Safety Monitoring and Learning Assessment

What this Trial Is About

This research project aims to support the introduction of the gastroenterostomy technique guided by endoscopic ultrasound EUS-GE in centers within Catalonia. The study focuses on safely implementing this procedure and providing training for doctors, with the goal of minimizing technical failures and offering help with rescue techniques if needed. It is an observational study assessing the impact of a teaching and live-support model on safety and the learning curve for this endoscopic surgical procedure. The intervention under evaluation is the endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastroenterostomy, which is a device-based surgical procedure. The study includes a teaching protocol and collects information through a prospective registry to observe how well the technique is introduced in practice. This process aims to facilitate safe use and monitor the progress of training over a 12-month period. Participants will be involved in follow-up evaluations during the study to track the safety of the EUS-gastroenterostomy procedure and the learning progress of the medical teams implementing it. Researchers will monitor safety outcomes and learning curves over 12 months. Participants must comply with follow-up tests and assessments related to the procedure. The total observation period for the primary and secondary outcomes is 12 months, ensuring detailed monitoring of the introduction process.
