magdi diversion feasibility study

Conditions: Type 2 Diabetes; Obesity

Summary: the purpose of this clinical research study is to evaluate the feasibility of the gt metabolic solutions di bio-fragmentable magnetic anastomosis system (magnet system, di bio-fragmentable) for creation of a side-by-side anastomosis duodeno-ileostomy in obese adults.

the purpose of this clinical research study is to evaluate the feasibility of the gt metabolic solutions di bio-fragmentable magnetic anastomosis system (magnet system, di bio-fragmentable) for creation of a side-to-side anastomosis duodeno-ileostomy in obese adults. this partial diversion of intestinal contents from duodenum to the ileum is intended to facilitate weight management/loss in obese adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (t2dm) and improve metabolic outcomes in obese adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (t2dm). side-by-side anastomoses are currently created by sutures, staples, and anastomotic compression devices. a predicate procedure is the single-anastomosis duodeno-ileostomy (sadi) procedure.

Eligibility criteria:
