<b>Background and study aims: </b>Fully covered self-expandable metal stents (FCSEMSs) have increasingly been used in benign upper gastrointestinal (UGI) conditions; however, stent migration remains a major limitation. Endoscopic suture fixation (ESF) may prevent migration. The aims of this were to compare the frequency patients who received endoscopic suturing for (ESF group) compared with those did not (NSF assess impact ESF on clinical outcome. <b>Patients methods:</b> This was...
Esophageal stents are commonly used to treat benign esophageal conditions including refractory strictures, anastomotic fistulae, perforations and leaks. Data on outcomes in these settings remain limited.We performed a retrospective multicenter study of patients who underwent fully or partially covered self-expandable stent placement for diseases. placements were the following indications: (1) (2) surgical (3) perforations, (4) (5) leaks.A total 70 conditions. A 114 separate procedures...
Goals: This study was carried out to assess the clinical characteristics and associated systemic diseases seen in patients diagnosed with absent contractility as per Chicago Classification version 3.0, allowing us propose a diagnostic algorithm for their etiologic testing. Background: The 3.0 has redefined major minor esophageal motility disorders using high-resolution manometry. There is dearth of publications based on research contractility, which historically been myopathic processes such...
Abstract Background and study aims Self-expandable metallic stents (SEMS) have been increasingly used in benign conditions (e. g. strictures, fistulas, leaks, perforations). Fully covered SEMS (FSEMS) were introduced to avoid undesirable consequences of partially (PSEMS), but come with higher risk stent migration. Endoscopic suturing (ES) for fixation has shown reduce migration FSEMS. Our aim was compare the outcomes FSEMS ES (FS/ES) versus PSEMS patients upper gastrointestinal conditions....
Data on the risk of acute pancreatitis following endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) pancreatic cystic lesions are limited. The aim our study was to evaluate frequency after EUS-FNA cysts and solid lesions, determine whether there a difference in patients with side branch intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (SB-IPMN).A retrospective review who underwent performed. primary outcome measure development EUS-FNA. Factors associated were examined by statistical...
Surgery for pancreatic branch-duct intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (BD-IPMN) is indicated therapy of symptomatic patients and to prevent development invasive cancer. There currently no consensus on management BD-IPMN after surgical resection. The aim this retrospective multicenter study was determine the recurrence long-term survival resection predictive factors recurrence.All who underwent surgery from 2005 2011 at 2 centers were identified. diagnosis based upon imaging...
Acute on chronic liver failure (ACLF), leads to high mortality. These patients are at risk of being delisted for transplantation (LT). Emerging data shows 1y post-transplant survival 80-92%. The Share 35 (S35) policy was implemented prioritize with MELD ≥35 the LT waitlist. Our aim compare outcomes ACLF as a result S35.Data from UNOS scientific registry were used classify using NACSELD criteria. For analyses, divided into two eras; 2 years before S35 (Era 1) and after 2). Waitlist status...
Endoscopic management of symptomatic pancreatic fluid collections (PFCs) using self-expandable metal stents (SEMS) placement has emerged as an innovative therapeutic approach with excellent efficacy, safety, and relatively few adverse outcomes. However, their use not been studied in patients cirrhosis. Cirrhotics tend to be considered less than optimal candidates due concern for portal hypertension coagulopathy related complications.To compare the efficacy safety SEMS drainage PFCs cirrhotic...
After complete surgical repair the majority of tetralogy Fallot (ToF), patients stay ≤2 days in Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU) while some may longer. We undertook this study to investigate factors associated with shorter vs. longer length CICU help manage resources effectively.Patients who underwent ToF at Aga Khan University, Pakistan, between July 2006 and December 2011 were studied a case-control design. Clinical parameters compared short group (SSG) (≤2 days) long (LSG) (>2 days)....
