971 from afferent to efferent: creating a new pathway

35 y/o female who underwent a Whipple procedure for a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor presents with progressive nausea and emesis over the past year. Her post-operative course was complicated by complete mesenteric thrombosis requiring a Sugiura Procedure. A CT Scan demonstrated massive dilation of the afferent limb to the gastrojejunostomy suggestive of Afferent Loop Syndrome. The patient underwent upper endoscopy demonstrating a widely patent afferent outlet with a stenosed efferent limb at the gastrojejunostomy.
