Computed Tomography Assessment of Gastric Band Slippage.
Visceral Medicine 2022 August
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to develop and validate reliable computed tomography (CT) imaging criteria for the diagnosis of gastric band slippage.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated 67 patients for gastric band slippage using CT. Of these, 14 had surgically proven gastric band slippage (study group), 22 had their gastric bands removed for reasons other than slippage (control group 1), and 31 did not require removal (control group 2). All of the studies were read independently by two radiologists in a blinded fashion. The "O" sign, phi angle, amount of inferior displacement from the esophageal hiatus, and gastric pouch size were used to create CT diagnostic criteria. Standard statistical methods were used.
RESULTS: There was good overall interobserver agreement for diagnosis of gastric band slippage using CT diagnostic criteria (kappa = 0.83). Agreement was excellent for the "O" sign (kappa = 0.93) and phi angle (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.976). The "O" sign, inferior displacement from the hiatus >3.5 cm, and gastric pouch volume >55 cm3 each had 100% positive predictive value. A phi angle <20° or >60° had the highest negative predictive value (NPV) (98%). Of all CT diagnostic criteria, enlarged gastric pouch size was most correlated with band slippage with an AUC of 0.991.
CONCLUSION: All four imaging parameters were useful in evaluating for gastric band slippage on CT, with good interobserver agreement. Of these parameters, enlarged gastric pouch size was most correlated with slippage and abnormal phi angle had the highest NPV.
