Does the food go on the inside of the endobarrier device with the digestive enzymes on the outside of the device? Does the endobarrier device modify metabolic pathways and prevent the mixing of food and digestive enzymes? Does the EndoBarrier stenting device migrate without safe and secure proximal fixation with T fasteners?
