Abstract Background Mediastinal lesions are tumors that develop mainly from structures commonly located in the three compartments of mediastinum and paravertebral areas. The diagnosis these is primarily based on imaging studies such as computed tomography magnetic resonance imaging, which confirm presence suspected metastatic disease. study aims to determine factors diagnostic accuracy yield endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) diagnosing mediastinal lesions. Methods This multi-country involved a...
The gallbladder (GB) is a susceptible organ, prone to various pathologies that can be identified using different imaging techniques. Transabdominal ultrasound (TUS) typically the initial diagnostic method due its numerous well-established advantages. However, in cases of uncertainty or when definitive diagnosis cannot established, computed tomography (CT) magnetic resonance may employed provide more detailed information. Nevertheless, CT scans sometimes offer inadequate spatial resolution,...
Background/Aim: Malignant biliary obstruction (MBO) is often diagnosed at late stages with mostly unresectable lesions. Recently, EUS-guided drainage (EUS-BD) has gained wide acceptance and appears to be a feasible safe backup option after ERCP failure in such patients. Herein, we aimed represent 3-year multi-center Egyptian experience the application of this challenging procedure for distal MBO as salvage technique failed ERCP. Patients methods: This was prospective study patients underwent...
Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is a well-established therapy for achalasia with high success rates. Severe submucosal fibrosis correlates prolonged procedure duration, higher perioperative complications, and even failed POEM. Methods to overcome severe include changing an anterior approach, simultaneous tunnel dissection [1], open POEM [2], initial tunneling followed by through-muscle [3], variable rates of complications. Here, we present novel successful method intramuscular (IIMD) in...
Highlight EUS-guided pancreatic duct drainage has emerged as an effective method for the treatment of post-pancreaticojejunostomy anastomotic stricture, but cases with non-dilated usually represent a great challenge. Fujigaki and colleagues demonstrate feasibility re-puncture technique in case duct.
Mucosal perforations, reported in 4.2 %–17.3 % of cases [1], are one the major inadvertent complications peroral endoscopic myotomy. Mostly, mucosal perforations occur at gastroesophageal junction (GEJ), where muscularis propria and layers close proximity, representing challenges for management [2]. This is largely related to constrained position endoscope challenge controlling direction endoclips, particularly when using retroflexed view below cardia. Over-the-scope clips [3], endosutures...
Recently, bilateral biliary drainage has been considered as the recommended approach for malignant hilar obstruction (MHBO).1Lee T.H.

The concept of macroscopic on-site evaluation (MOSE) was introduced in 2015 when the endoscopist observed better diagnostic yield macroscopically visible core on MOSE superior to 4 mm. Recent studies suggest that by may be an excellent alternative rapid evaluation, and some classifications have been published. Few assessed adequacy histologic cores during endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration/biopsy (EUS-FNA/FNB).

Abstract Background and aim Critically ill cirrhotic patients exhibit high in-hospital mortality require substantial healthcare resources, including multiorgan support. Egypt has the highest age-standardized death rate from cirrhosis worldwide. This study aimed to compare performance accuracy of different prognostic scores for prediction, Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP), Model End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD), MELD with serum sodium incorporation (MELD-Na), Royal Free Hospital (RFH), as well general...
Abstract Background and study aims Unexplained biliary dilatation (UBD) frequently represents a diagnostic dilemma. Linear endosonography (EUS), with its close proximity to the pancreaticobiliary system ability for tissue acquisition, could have role in revealing etiologies of UBD particularly context negative other non-invasive modalities. However, such patients, decision this semi-invasive procedure is usually debatable often needs justification. Thus, we aimed evaluate utility linear EUS...
Highlight Atalla and colleagues present a novel dumbbell-shaped fully covered self-expandable metal stent which, with its anti-migration property relatively lower cost, is feasible cost-effective option as an alternative to lumen-apposing stents for endoscopic ultrasound-guided transduodenal gallbladder drainage acute cholecystitis in patients who are ineligible surgery.
A 73-year-old diabetic and hypertensive male patient presented with progressive dysphagia marked weight loss. There is no intake of antiplatelets or anticoagulants. Upper endoscopy revealed distal esophageal stricture inconclusive biopsy results, so he was referred for EUS evaluation. First, a linear echoendoscope advanced into the esophagus where short encountered at 33 cm from incisors. an wall circumferential hypovascular mass in most 4 loss layer differentiation, raising possibility...
Background/Aim: The coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic have a major impact on the clinical course of chronic diseases including inflammatory bowel (IBD). In current study we aimed to evaluate relapse and worsening IBD activity during Covid-19 pandemic.
The risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) diminishes in patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related advanced chronic liver disease after virological cure. However, despite viral clearance, HCV-induced epigenetic alterations, immune dysregulations, and hepatic parenchymal injuries remain, contributing to de novo HCC occurrence. While incidence is low (0.45 – 0.5%) fibrosis (F3), the presence cirrhosis clinically significant portal hypertension increases risk. cost-effectiveness lifelong...

Endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) is a well-established treatment option for benign diseases after failure of conventional procedures [1]. A two-step approach cholangioscopy-assisted management difficult stone through an EUS-guided bilioenteric fistula has previously been reported [2]. Cholangioscopy-guided electrohydraulic lithotripsy (EHL) currently considered one the effective methods removal, with clearance rates 69 % and 97 in single multiple sessions, respectively...
