Background and Aims EUS-guided hepaticoenterostomy (EUS-HE) usually is reserved for palliation of malignant biliary obstruction after failed endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERC) or inaccessible tree in surgically altered anatomy (SAA). We describe the outcome EUS-HE antegrade therapy benign disease patients with SAA. Methods Retrospective review 20 consecutive who underwent performed by 1 endoscopist at a tertiary-care center over 3-year period. Results During study period, 37 EUS-HE;...
Background and study aims The aim of the current was to review outcomes a large-scale international registry on endoscopic ultrasound-guided gallbladder drainage (EGBD) that encompasses different stent systems in patients who are at high-risk for cholecystectomy. Patients methods This retrospective multicenter EGBD created by 13 institutions around world. Consecutive received several indications were included. Outcomes include technical clinical success, unplanned procedural events (UPE),...
Endoscopic ultrasound-directed transgastric endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP; EDGE) is an alternative to enteroscopy- and laparoscopy-assisted ERCP in patients with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass anatomy. Although short-term results are promising, the long-term outcomes not known. The aims of this study were: (1) determine rates adverse events after EDGE, a focus on persistent gastrogastric or jejunogastric fistula; (2) identify predictors (3) assess closure when fistula...
Background and study aims Indications for accessing the duodenum, and/or excluded stomach in Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) patients extend beyond diagnosis treatment of pancreaticobiliary maladies. Given high technical clinical success EUS-directed transgastric ERCP (EDGE) RYGB anatomy, we adopted this (anterograde) approach to evaluate treat luminal extraluminal pathology around gut patients. intervention ("EDGI"), other than ERCP, is terminology have chosen describe heterogenous group...
ABSTRACT With an aging global population, the number of older adults with age‐related changes in brain, including dementia, will continue to increase unless we can make progress early detection and treatment such conditions. There is extensive literature on effects EEG, particularly a decline Peak Alpha Frequency (PAF), but here, reversal convention, used EEG power‐frequency spectrum estimate chronological age. The motivation for this approach was that individual's brain age might act as...
Percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) and EUS-guided choledochoduodenostomy (EUS-CD) are alternate therapies to endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with stent placement for decompression. The primary outcome of this study is compare the technical clinical success PTBD EUS-CD in patients distal obstruction. Secondary outcomes were adverse events (AEs), need reintervention, survival.A multicenter retrospective cohort from three different centers was performed. Cox...
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is an effective treatment for pancreaticolithiasis, including use of pancreatoscopy intraductal electrohydraulic lithotripsy (IEHL). Pancreatoscopy often limited by a small-caliber downstream pancreatic duct as well unstable pancreatoscope position within the head. ultrasound-guided pancreaticogastrostomy (EUS-PG) has been developed method to relieve ductal obstruction when access fails. The current study describes via EUS-PG, novel...
Abstract Background and study aims Cirrhosis has historically been considered a relative, if not absolute, contraindication to cholecystectomy. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided gallbladder drainage (EUS-GBD) developed for use in non-operative candidates with cholecystitis; however, little data exist of the procedure patients cirrhosis. Patients methods This was retrospective series involving two large tertiary referral centers performing EUS-GBD. cirrhosis who underwent EUS-GBD cholecystitis...
BACKGROUND : There is heterogeneity regarding the technical aspects of endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG), such as applying fundal sutures. Our aim was to determine whether ESG with suturing (ESG-FS) affects weight loss and serious adverse event (SAE) rate when compared no (ESG-NFS). METHODS: We conducted a two-center retrospective analysis 247 patients who underwent or without suturing. The primary outcome percentage excess (%EWL) at 3, 6, 12 months post-ESG. secondary outcomes included...
Abstract Background and study aims Endoscopic ultrasound-guided hepaticoenterostomy (EUS-HE) is an effective method of endoscopic biliary drainage in cases where retrograde cholangiopancreatography has failed or deemed impossible. Indications for EUS-HE have expanded, resulting increased interest by endoscopists to learn the procedure; however, few data exist on breadth application experience needed develop proficiency. We describe utilization decompression at a large tertiary referral...
Abstract Background and study aims Endometriosis affects a significant proportion of reproductive-aged women involves the bowel in up to one-third patients with condition. Lower endoscopic ultrasound (LEUS) assessment endometriosis rectosigmoid colon was first described 20 years ago European populations. The current aimed describe diagnostic characteristics this imaging modality at tertiary US referral center large cohort its impact on surgical planning. Patients methods This retrospective...
