X Ray contrast of Viscious circle
Another complication of gastroenterostomy is the so-called viscious circle, when partial obstruction of the efferent limb causes food or contrast medium to be directed through the anastomosis into the A limb and retrograde through the pylorus back into the stomach. This sequence may be observed fluoroscopically and documented radiographically. Revision of the anastomosis is required to correct the condition.
