After liver transplantation, the most common biliary complication is anastomotic stricture, which followed by leakage. Studies have focused on endoscopic treatment of complications in transplanted patients with duct-to-duct reconstruction, showing a success rate 70% to 80% after orthotopic transplantation and 60% living-related transplantation. Once approach fails, surgical Roux-en-Y choledochojejunostomy sole alternative treatment. The aim this prospective observational study was analyze...
This report contains clinically oriented guidelines for the diagnostic work-up and follow-up of cystic pancreatic neoplasms in patients fit treatment. The statements were elaborated by working groups experts searching analysing literature, then underwent a consensus process using modified Delphi procedure. recommendations regarding most appropriate use timing various imaging techniques endoscopic ultrasound, role circulating intracystic markers pathologic evaluation diagnosis neoplasms.
Background and study aims Endoscopic ultrasound-guided through-the-needle biopsy (TTNB) of pancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs) is associated with a non-negligible risk for adverse events (AEs). We aimed to identify the hierarchic interaction among independent predictors TTNB-related AEs generate prognostic model using recursive partitioning analysis (RPA). Patients methods Multicenter retrospective 506 patients PCLs who underwent TTNB. RPA was performed validated by means bootstrap resampling....
Background and aims Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is an immune-mediated disease of the pancreas with distinct pathophysiology manifestations. Our were to characterize type 1 AIP in a large pan-European cohort study effectiveness current treatment regimens. Methods We retrospectively analyzed adults diagnosed since 2005 or not-otherwise-specified 42 European university hospitals. Type was uniformly using specific diagnostic criteria. Patients 2 those who had undergone pancreatic surgery...
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the analgesic and adverse effects doses methadone in comparison morphine. PATIENTS AND METHODS A prospective randomized performed a sample 40 patients with advanced cancer who required strong opioids for their pain management. Patients were treated sustained-release morphine or titrated against effect administered two three times daily according clinical need. Opioid doses, adjuvant medications, symptoms associated opioid therapy, intensity,...
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is the most appropriate technique to treat common bile duct and pancreatic stenosis secondary benign malignant diseases. Biliary and/or cannulation visualization are successful with ERCP in a high percentage of cases managed by experienced hands [1] [2] [3]. Common causes failure include complex peripapillary diverticula, prior surgery procedures such as gastrectomy Billroth II anastomosis, tumor involvement papilla, biliary sphincter...
Endoscopic ultrasound-guided transmural drainage (EUS-GTD) has become the standard procedure for treating symptomatic pancreatic fluid collections. The aim of this series was to evaluate efficacy and safety covered self-expanding metal stent (CSEMS) placement infected From January 2007 May 2010, 22 patients (18 M/4F; mean age 56.9) with collections (mean size, 13.2 cm) at two Italian centers were evaluated EUS-GTD. In 20 patients, EUS-GTD CSEMS indicated. Early complications occurred in...
<b>Background and study aim: </b>Benign biliary diseases include benign stricture (BBS), lithiasis, leaks. BBSs are usually treated with plastic stent placement; use of uncovered or partially covered metallic stents has been associated failure related to mucosal hyperplasia. Some recently published series suggest the efficacy fully self-expandable metal (FCSEMSs) in BBS treatment. We aimed assess safety FCSEMS a large patients long follow-up. <b>Patients methods:</b> Prospective multicenter...
Background and Aim Tissue acquisition in pancreatic cystic lesions ( PCL ) is the ideal method for diagnosis risk stratification malignancy of these lesions. Direct sampling from walls with different devices has shown better results than cytology fluid. We carried out a retrospective, multicenter study to evaluate feasibility, safety, diagnostic yield micro‐forceps, specifically designed be used through 19‐gauge needle after endoscopic ultrasonography EUS )‐guided puncture . Methods...
Data from a preliminary study suggested that the placement of fully covered metal stent may be valid alternative to surgery in patients who do not respond standard endoscopic treatment. The aims current were evaluate clinical success self-expandable metallic stents (SEMS) large cohort and with long followup,and effectiveness SEMS as first-line procedure.Between January 2008 August 2010, 54 consecutive biliary complications following orthotopic liver transplantation treated placement:39 after...
<h3>Objective</h3> Although split regimen is associated with higher adenoma detection and recommended for elective colonoscopy, its adoption remains suboptimal. The identification of patient-related barriers may improve implementation. Our aim was to assess patients9 attitude towards factors uptake. <h3>Design</h3> In a multicentre, prospective study, outpatients undergoing colonoscopy from 8:00 14:00 were given written instructions 4 L polyethylene glycol bowel preparation, offering the...
Background Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is a rare, and relatively new, form of chronic pancreatitis. The management AIP can vary considerably among different centres in daily clinical practice. Objectives aim this study to present picture epidemiological, characteristics, outcomes, the real‐life practice terms several academic non‐academic Italy. Methods Data on presentation, diagnostic work‐up, treatments, frequency relapses, long‐term outcomes were retrospectively collected cohort...
