Background and Study Aims: Pancreatic pseudocysts are a complication in up to 20 % of patients with pancreatitis. Endoscopic management by conventional transenteric technique, i. e. transmural drainage (CTD), or endoscopic ultrasound-guided (EUD), is well described. Our aim was prospectively compare the short-term long-term results CTD EUD pseudocysts. Patients Methods: A total 99 consecutive underwent pancreatic according this predetermined treatment algorithm: bulging lesions without...
<b>Background: </b>Surgical gastrojejunostomy and enteral self-expanding metal stents are efficacious for the management of gastric outlet obstruction but limited by high complication rates short-term efficacy. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided (EUS-GJ) is a novel alternative option. <b>Patients methods: </b>Patients who underwent EUS-GJ between March 2014 September 2015 as part prospective multicenter registry at four academic centers in two countries were included. Technical success was defined...
Objectives: The AspireAssist System (AspireAssist) is an endoscopic weight loss device that comprised of endoscopically placed percutaneous gastrostomy tube and external to facilitate drainage about 30% the calories consumed in a meal, conjunction with lifestyle (diet exercise) counseling. Methods: In this 52-week clinical trial, 207 participants body-mass index (BMI) 35.0–55.0 kg/m2 were randomly assigned 2:1 ratio treatment plus Lifestyle Counseling (n=137; mean BMI was 42.2±5.1 kg/m2) or...
Endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastrojejunostomy (EUS-GJ) with placement of a lumen-apposing metal stent is minimally invasive and efficacious procedure for gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) patients not amenable to surgery. Laparoscopic (Lap-GJ) has traditionally been the standard care. No direct comparison between EUS-GJ Lap-GJ described. Our aim was compare clinical outcomes, success rate, adverse events (AE) Lap-GJ.Patients GOO from 4 academic centers in 3 countries were included. Technical...
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERC) with stenting is the procedure of choice for biliary decompression in patients obstructive jaundice. In cases where access cannot be achieved, interventional endoscopic ultrasound-guided (IEUC) has become an alternative to percutaneous transhepatic (PTC).We report on 5 years experience who underwent IEUC after failed cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). targeted duct was attempted one two approaches: transgastric-transhepatic (intrahepatic) or...
Background and Study Aims: When endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography fails, the bile duct is drained percutaneously or surgically. Evolution of ultrasound (EUS) has provided ability to visualize also drain biliary tree. The aim this study was review different techniques EUS-guided access drainage, compare extrahepatic (EH) intrahepatic (IH) approaches benign with malignant indications. Patients Methods: attempts at drainage from 6 international centers were reviewed. This a...
