Abstract Background It is unclear whether the insertion of an axis-orienting double-pigtail plastic stent (DPS) through biliary lumen-apposing meal (LAMS) in EUS-guided choledochoduodenostomy (CDS) improves patency. The aim this study to determine technical variant offers a clinical benefit drainage (BD) for management distal malignant obstruction. Methods/design This multicenter open-label, randomized controlled trial with two parallel groups. Eighty-four patients obstruction will undergo...
A 74-year-old woman presented obstructive jaundice. Computed tomography revealed a pancreatic head tumor with dilatation of the common bile duct (CBD) and pulmonary metastases. Biliary drainage by ERCP was indicated. Papilla had tumoral signs infiltration. Cannulation not achieved after several attempts papillotome. We accessed distal CBD performing pre-cut, but guidewire could pass deeply. After replacing duodenoscope linear echoendoscope intention biliary guided EUS, 10 mm duodenal...
Abstract Background It seems that lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS) are displacing plastic in the therapy of pancreatic-fluid collection walled-off necrosis (WON). To date, there is no quality evidence to recommend LAMS as standard treatment management WON. The theoretical benefit over needs be proven. Methods/design This a randomized controlled, multicenter, prospective clinical trial with two parallel groups, without masking. One-hundred and fourteen patients WON will undergo endoscopic...
Objective A set of indicators has been reported to measure the quality care for cirrhotic patients, and previously published studies report variable adherence rates these indicators. This study aimed assess provided outpatients before after an educational intervention by determining its impact on Methods We conducted a quasi-experimental, cross-sectional including 324 patients seen in 2017 2019 at tertiary teaching hospital Spain. Quality were assessed five domains: documentation cirrhosis...
Acute pancreatitis is a high-incidence benign disease. In 2009, it was the second highest cause of total hospital stays, largest contributor to aggregate costs (approximately US$ 7000.00 per hospitalization), and fifth leading in-hospital deaths in United States. Although almost 80% acute cases are mild (usually requiring short-term hospitalization without further complications), severe can be quite challenging.Classifications, scores, radiological criteria have been developed predict...
The usefulness of reagent strips to check cure spontaneous bacterial peritonitis have not been evaluated date.To assess the ascitic fluid analysis by means after a 5-day antibiotic course.We prospectively included all cirrhotic patients diagnosed with peritonitis. On day 5, conventional and strip analyses were performed.Fifty-three episodes in 51 included. Five died before fifth two patients, control paracentesis yielded no fluid. In nine out 46 cases (19.6%), had resolved 5. 32 33 which...
Endoscopic band ligation without resection is a technique reported in the literature for treatment of subepithelial neuroendocrine tumors and Barrett's esophagus, but its use T1 cancer has not been [1] [2] [3] [4]. We present case esophageal patient with contraindications surgery treated endoscopically using banding resection.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy endoscopic band ligation (EBL) in carefully selected patients who would benefit from method resection.Patients with early upper gastrointestinal and small (< 15 mm) lesions treated EBL (Duette® Multi-Band Mucosectomy) were prospectively recruited retrospectively analyzed between 2010 2015. All cases discussed a multidisciplinary cancer committee it concluded that, owing patient conditions, surgery not possible that conducting histology...
Aims Endoscopic ultrasound-guided pancreatic duct intervention (EUS-PDI) is one of the most technically challenging procedures. There remains a knowledge gap due to its rarity. The aim report accumulated EUS-PDI experience in tertiary center.
