Objectives: Brush cytology has a low sensitivity for the diagnosis of cholangiocarcinoma. This study aimed to compare standard approach (brush cytology) with triple modality utilizing brush cytology, forceps biopsy and fluorescence in situ hybridization terms specificity Methods: In retrospective at single academic center, 50 patients underwent testing. Additionally, 61 alone. Intervention was endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography hybridization, biopsy. The main outcome measures...
Abstract Background Gastroparesis is a poorly understood, chronic, debilitating motility disorder with very limited medical therapeutic options. Gastric peroral endoscopic pyloromyotomy (G‐ POEM ) an emerging novel technique as incisionless pyloroplasty for refractory cases. Effective information of G‐ on different types gastroparesis sparse. Methods Cases using selective circular myotomy salvage therapy symptoms were retrospective studied. The procedures performed by single expert...
Background Gastric peroral endoscopic pyloromyotomy (G-POEM) and gastric electrical stimulation (GES) have been reported as treatment options for refractory gastroparesis. In this study, we compared the long term clinical outcomes of G-POEM versus GES in such patients. Methods We retrospectively evaluated 111 consecutive patients with gastroparesis between January 2009 August 2018. To overcome selection bias, used propensity score matching (1:1) treatment. The primary outcome was duration...
BACKGROUND In considering treatment allocation for patients with early esophageal adenocarcinoma, the incidence of lymph node metastasis is a critical determinant; however, this has not been well defined or stratified by relevant clinical predictors spread. METHODS Data from Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database National Cancer Institute were abstracted 2004 to 2010 early‐stage adenocarcinoma. The involvement Tis, T1a, T1b tumors was examined RESULTS A total 13,996...
INTRODUCTION: Endoscopic necrosectomy has emerged as the preferred treatment modality for walled-off pancreatic necrosis. This study was designed to evaluate safety and efficacy of direct endoscopic with without hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O ) lavage. METHODS: Retrospective chart reviews were performed all patients undergoing transmural management necrosis at 9 major medical centers from November 2011 August 2018. Clinical success defined resolution collection by imaging within 6 months,...
Abstract Background and aims Benign gastrointestinal (GI) strictures are often refractory to standard endoscopic interventions. Fully covered coaxial lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS) have emerged as a novel therapy for these strictures. The aim of this study was evaluate the safety efficacy LAMS GI Patients methods A retrospective analysis performed patients who underwent placement benign luminal in three US centers between January 2014 December 2016. primary outcomes were technical...
Abstract Background and study aims Localized approaches are being increasingly used in the management of early gastric adenocarcinoma; however, there limited data on lymph node metastasis US population. This examined incidence predictors involvement for early-stage adenocarcinomas USA. Patients methods Data were abstracted from national SEER database 2004 to 2013. Exclusion criteria included: cases with unknown tumor characteristics, patient metastatic disease, neoadjuvant radiation, lack...
DescriptionThe purpose of this American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) Institute Clinical Practice Update (CPU) is to review the available evidence and provide expert advice regarding cognitive, procedural, post-procedural aspects performing gastric peroral endoscopic myotomy for treatment refractory gastroparesis.MethodsThis CPU was commissioned approved by AGA Updates Committee (CPUC) Governing Board timely guidance on a topic high clinical importance membership underwent internal...
Endoscopic resection has become the preferred treatment approach for select early esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC); however, epidemiology of stage disease not been well defined.Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) data were analyzed to determine age-adjusted incidence rates among major epithelial carcinomas, including EAC, from 1973 2017. The percent change in over time was compared according tumor subtype. Early T-stage, node-negative EAC without metastasis examined 2004 2017...
