A

abnormally large, tortuous artery coursing thru the submucosa

65
Q

What causes the bleeding seen in Dieulafoy gastric lesions?

A

you have large tortuous arteries coursing thru the submucosa

pulsations of artery erode the mucosa

artery is then exposed to gastric contents and bleeds

**these lesions usually seen 6-10 cm from GE junction

66
Q

Classic presentation of a bleeding Dieulafoy lesion?

A

sudden onset massive painless recurrent hematemesis w/hypotension

67
Q

can develop from splenic vein thrombosis causing htn

can develop from portal htn

68
Q

Gastric volvulus is uncommon and it can occur in two axes:

A

longitudinal axis; organoaxial (line drawn across lesser curve and greater curve)

vertical axis; mesoaxial (line drawn from GE jxn to pylorus)

69
Q

Difference between organoaxial and mesoaxial gastric volvulus?

A

organoaxial occur acutely, assc/ w diaphragmatic defect

mesoaxial volvulus is partial < 180 degrees, its recurrent, not assc. w/diaphragmatic defect

70
Q

Borchardt’s triad with gastric volvulus?

A

sudden onset sever abd pain

recurrent retching, minimal vomitus

unable to pass an NG tube

71
Q

Tx for acute gastric volvulus?

A

surgical emergency

stomach is reduced and uncoiled thru a trans-abdominal approach

72
Q

What are bezoars?

A

collections of non-digestable material

usually vegetable material; phytobezoars

trichobezoars; hair

73
Q

What is gastrostomy performed for?

A

alimentation vs decompression

74
Q

How is gastrostomy performed?

A

percutaneously (most common)

open

laparoscopic

75
Q

Open techniques for gastrostomy tube placement?

A

Stamm method*** most common can be done open vs laparoscopic

Witzel

Janeway method

76
Q

Complications of gastrostomy?

A

leakage w/peritonitis
infection
dislodgment
aspiration pneumonia

77
Q

What causes dumping syndrome?

A

caused by destruction or bypass of the pyloric sphincter

78
Q

Early dumping syndrome?

A

abrupt delivery of a hyperosmolar load into the small bowel due to ablation of pylorus or decreased gastric compliance

15-30 mins after a meal

pt becomes sweaty, weak, light headed, tachycardic

79
Q

Late dumping syndrome?

A

2-3 hrs after a meal

usually due to post-prandial hypoglycemia

usually relieved by administration of sugar

80
Q

Medical management of dumping syndrome?

A 
dietary management 
somatostatin analogues (ocreotide) (100 micrograms subcutaneously twice daily)
81
Q

How does ocreotide help in dumping syndrome?

A

helps ameliorate abnormal hormone pattern

helps restore a fasting motility pattern

82
Q

Greatest risk factors for stress gastritis?

A

prolonged ventilation >48 hrs

coagulopathy

83
Q

What causes late dumping syndrome seen 2-3 hrs after a meal?

A

rapid dumping of carbs into the intestines

pts become hypoglycemic due to hyperinsulinemia as a result of carb load

84
Q

What causes symptoms of late dumping syndrome?

A

carb load enters small intestine–> rapidly absorbed

hyperinsulinemia causes hypoglycemia

hypoglycemia triggers adrenal to make catecholamines–> tachycardia, tremulousness, sweating

85
Q

Where do we find type 2 gastric ulcers on the Johnson classification?

A

gastric body + duodenum

**assc w/acid

86
Q

What is a Cameron’s lesion?

A

chronic enteric blood loss from linear erosions at the level of the diaphragm within a hiatal hernia

87
Q

A gastric emptying study is considered abnormal if what

A

if >60% of radiotracer is present in stomach at 2 hrs

if >10% of radiotracer is present in stomach at 4 hrs

88
Q

To maintain adequate stomach perfusion which arteries do we need to preserve?

A

1/4 arteries needs to be intact

celiac artery supplies most of stomach

(4 main arteries are left + right gastric, left + right gastroepiploic)

89
Q

Left gastro-epipoloic comes off of what artery?

A

splenic

90
Q

How do we treat a 3 cm perforated anterior duodenal ulcer?

A

ulcer too big to close primarily, too much tension

jejunal serosal patch (Thal) should be used , less chance of a leak

to optimize post-op healing, can do temp pyloroplasty with gastrojejunosotomy

91
Q

GISTs stain for?

A

c-kit

92
Q

How do GISTs spread?

A

hematogenously

**Most commonly spread to liver and peritoneal surfaces

93
Q

Where do GISTs spread to?

A

liver

94
Q

Pts presenting with a Mallory-Weiss tear that resolve, when do you get repeat endoscopy?

A

not necessary

95
Q

Gastrinomas AKA?

A

zollinger-ellison syndrome

96
Q

How do diagnose a gastrinoma, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome?

A

secretin stimulation test

measure baseline gastrin levels

2 units/kg of secretin are injected and gastrin levels measured at 5 min intervals for 30 mins

gastrin level > 200 above basal level supports diagnosis

97
Q

5 year survival of gastric Ca with no neoadjuvant therapy;

A

I: 88-94%

II: 68-82%

IIIA: 54%, IIIB: 36%, IIIC: 18%

V: 4-5%

98
Q

When do we see Curling ulcers?

A

seen after burns >30% TBSA

99
Q

Benefits of diagnostic laparoscopy vs PET in looking for mets in advanced gastric CA?

A

PET misses 50% of mets

diagnostic lap is better
