Abstract Background and study aims The therapeutic role of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) evolved in recent decade,s opening a new chapter the field biliary drainage (BD). EUS-BD has emerged as mini-invasive technique for neoplastic jaundice not amenable to retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). primary were assess clinical efficacy using an electrocautery-enhanced lumen apposing metal stent (ECE-LAMS) patients with malignant obstruction failed\unfeasible ERCP adverse event (AE) rate....
The most appropriate endo-therapeutic approach to biliary anastomotic strictures is yet be defined.To retrospectively report on the endo-therapy of duct-to-duct during 2013 in Italy.Data were collected from 16 Endoscopy Units at Italian Liver Transplantation Centers (BASALT study group).Complete and follow-up data are available for 181 patients: 101 treated with plastic multistenting, 26 fully covered self-expandable metal stenting 54 single stenting. Radiological success was achieved 145...
A 70-year-old woman with jaundice who had been diagnosed unresectable malignant distal biliary stricture underwent endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided gallbladder drainage following failed retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). EUS-guided bile duct was impractical because of the presence an intervening vessel, and cholecystogastrostomy created placement 8 × 8-mm lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) [1].
A 46-year-old woman with diabetes mellitus type 2 was admitted for endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration/biopsy (EUS-FNA/B) because of the incidental diagnosis a 5-cm pancreatic cystic lesion (PCL) in body, suspicious pseudocyst ([Fig. 1]). The procedure performed through patient's stomach standard 19-gauge needle. FNA/B targeting wall followed by several bites through-the-needle forceps (mini biopsy forceps, 0.8 mm diameter; Endo-flex GmbH, Voerde, Germany) 2] and [Fig. 3], [Video
A 61-year-old man was referred to our institute for endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) evaluation of a subcentimeter subepithelial lesion the duodenal bulb. Ultrasound imaging showed homogeneous, hypoechoic 15 mm in diameter fourth layer inferior wall bulb ([Fig. 1 a, b]). EUS-guided fine needle aspiration gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) and computed tomography scan confirmed only localized c]). The growth size GIST with respect previous examination an indication resection, which remains...
Endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastroenterostomy (EUS-GE) is a new effective mini-invasive treatment for gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) [1] [2] [3]. An anastomosis created between the stomach and duodenal (or jejunal) loop by placement of lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS). Stent displacement can be serious complication, often requiring surgery.
Tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) is a serious life-threatening condition that appears in critically ill patients with prolonged history of mechanical ventilation. Enteral feeding and dietary support combined surgery the gold standard. In selected patients, TEF healing can be ensured by mini-invasive approach using an Amplatzer septal occluder (AGA Medical Corporation), intended for cardiac defect closure [1]. The occluder, which composed nitinol mesh, has two self-expandable disks connected...
EUS training is recognized to have a substantial learning curve. To date, few dedicated programs for been described. The swine model has highlighted as realistic tool enhance training. Studies extensively describing anatomy are lacking in the current literature. article aims describe both radial and linear pancreatobiliary anatomy.Four live pigs were endoscoped under general anesthesia using array echoendoscopes. Relevant images videos recorded.It was possible effectively image aorta, crus...
Biliary complications are a serious source of morbidity after orthotopic and living-related liver transplantation. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERC) is the gold standard for patients with duct-to-duct anastomosis because it allows direct approach interventional procedures. A retrospective study showed results sequential multistenting protocol, without stent removal/exchange, promising results. We conducted prospective analysis to assess clinical success, recurrence rate, adverse...
