Late Intragastric Balloon Induced Gastric Perforation

Abstract: Intragastric balloon (IGB) has been introduced in the 1980's for weight reduction. It can be classified into nonadjustable IGB, such as the BioEnterics Intragastric Balloon (BIB), or newer generation Spatz adjustable balloon system. Late IGB-induced gastric perforation is a rare major complication, presenting as acute abdominal pain weeks to months after its insertion. We herein present a 20-year-old patient, with gastric perforation occurring 10 months after Spatz IGB deployment. The patient underwent a succe… Show more

“…Common complications include abdominal discomfort, balloon deflation, and late intolerance . Rare complications such as gastric perforation, erosive esophagitis, and acute pancreatitis support regular follow‐up and appropriate timing for device removal . The FDA issued a communication to HCP, informing them of five reported deaths since 2016 that occurred unexpectedly in patients who had been treated with fluid‐filled IGB, though root causes of these deaths are not yet available .…”

“…Common complications include abdominal discomfort, balloon deflation, and late intolerance (294). Rare complications such as gastric perforation, erosive esophagitis, and acute pancreatitis support regular follow-up and appropriate timing for device removal (292,(295)(296)(297). The FDA issued a communication to HCP, informing them of five reported deaths since 2016 that occurred unexpectedly in patients who had been treated with fluid-filled intragastric balloons, though root causes of these deaths are not yet available (24,298).…”

“…These complications can be categorized depending on the device, the patient, or the doctor, as it was reported by Stavrou et al in 2019 [ 9 ]. Gastric perforation due to an IGB is rare, but it can lead to severe morbidity and mortality when it occurs [ 10 , 11 ]. Ulcers and gastric erosions may occur if PPIs are not prescribed or not taken [ 12 , 13 ].…”
