Colonoscopic polypectomy has been shown to reduce the risk of colorectal cancer and mortality. Postpolypectomy bleeding was reported be lower with cold snare (CSP) when compared conventional polypectomy. CSP traditionally utilized only in smaller polyps below 1 cm. We retrospectively analyzed outcomes patients sessile polyps<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" id="M1"><mml:mrow><mml:mo>≥</mml:mo></mml:mrow></mml:math>10 mm size observed that feasible large no adverse...
EUS-guided drainage of pancreatic fluid collections (PFCs) has been increasingly performed using lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS). However, recent data have suggested higher adverse event rates with LAMS compared to double pigtail plastic (DPS) alone. To decrease risks, there anecdotal use placing DPS through the LAMS. We aimed determine whether placement cautery-enhanced at time initial decreases events or need for reintervention.We a multicenter retrospective study between January 2015...
Acute cholangitis mandates resuscitation, antibiotic therapy, and biliary decompression. Our aim was to define the optimal timing of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for patients with acute cholangitis.Clinical data on all cases managed by ERCP were prospectively collected from September 2010 July 2013. The clinical impact time ERCP, defined as presentation in emergency department commencement determined. primary outcome length hospitalization. Secondary outcomes...
OBJECTIVES: Biliary cannulation is frequently the most difficult component of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Techniques employed to improve safety and efficacy include wire-guided access use sphincterotomes. However, a variety options for these techniques are available optimum strategies not defined. We assessed whether endoscopist- vs. assistant-controlled wire guidance small standard-diameter sphincterotomes improves and/or bile duct cannulation. METHODS: Patients...
Schwannomas are common peripheral nerve sheath tumors that typically occur on the head, neck, trunk, or extremities. Intra-abdominal schwannomas, however, rare. We describe a young woman who presented for imaging evaluation of suspected nephrolithiasis and was incidentally found to have schwannoma centered within pancreatic parenchyma. In addition, we detail clinical, imaging, histopathologic features summarize diagnosis management this rare clinical entity.
The role of endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) for laterally spreading lesions (LSLs) in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) remains controversial despite its effectiveness the general population. We aimed to characterize outcomes EMR IBD-associated LSLs compared with controls without IBD.
Oblique-viewing echoendoscopes may miss luminal lesions. There is no consensus on whether to routinely perform esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) before endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS). Currently, practice patterns are variable and prospective data needed.: To determine the proportion of clinically meaningful lesions detected when EGD performed EUS.This was a multicenter cohort study conducted at tertiary referral center large community practice. Patients undergoing EUS for...
Objectives Distinguishing neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) and other pancreas lesions from adenocarcinomas via endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) requires additional tissue for special staining processing. Our aim was to determine if main pancreatic duct (PD) diameter on EUS helps differentiate NET unusual adenocarcinoma. Methods We evaluated 30 consecutive patients diagnosed with or by 90 matched who were found have Dilated PD defined as greater than 3 mm. Multivariate logistic regression used...
Pancreatitis remains as one of the most frequent and serious complications ERCP. Research has identified several patient-related procedural risk factors, which help guide endoscopist in prophylaxis management pancreatitis. Recent studies have had a major impact on both techniques pharmacological methods for post-ERCP The purpose this article is to review relevant literature describe recent effective approaches prevention
