Background Endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) is considered to be an effective salvage procedure for failed endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography in patients with unresectable malignant obstruction. The aim of this retrospective study was evaluate the efficacy and feasibility EUS-BD. Methods From November 2006 May 2012, a total 64 who underwent EUS-BD (44 EUS-guided choledochoduodenostomy [EUS-CDS] 20 hepaticogastrostomy [EUS-HGS]) at seven tertiary-care referral...
Endoscopic biliary stenting is a well-established palliative treatment for unresectable malignant strictures, which plastic tube stents (PSs) and self-expandable metallic (SEMSs) are most commonly used. The efficacy of these has been extensively described in distal but not hilar strictures. present study aimed to compare the PSs SEMSs strictures.From June 2004 November 2008, 60 patients were enrolled prospectively randomized into PS or SEMS group.The 6-month patency rate was significantly...
<b>Background and study aims: </b>No prospective comparison of endoscopic ultrasonography-guided direct celiac ganglia neurolysis (EUS – CGN) vs. EUS-guided plexus CPN) has been reported. The aim the current was to compare effectiveness EUS CGN CPN in providing pain relief from upper abdominal cancer a multicenter randomized controlled trial. <b>Patients methods: </b>Patients with were randomly assigned treatment using either or CPN. Evaluation performed at Day 7 postoperatively scale 0 10....
In addition to morphology, immunophenotype and genetic abnormalities should be assessed during diagnosis subclassification of lymphoproliferative disorders. The objective this study was evaluate the yield endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy (EUS-FNAB) using a standard 19-gauge for lymphoma, assessing feasibility immunohistological, flow cytometric, cytogenetic assessments.Two hundred forty patients with suspected lymphoma were referred EUS-FNAB our quaternary EUS...
Severe bleeding following endoscopic biliary sphincterotomy (EBS) can sometimes be difficult to manage, resulting in the need for an invasive intervention. The aim of this study was retrospectively evaluate feasibility and efficacy hemostasis using covered self-expandable metallic stents (SEMSs) severe post- EBS bleeding. Eleven patients with bile duct stones underwent standard a sphincterotome-based technique at 4 units university-affiliated hospital general hospital. Monotherapy or...
Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) is used for the histopathological diagnosis of any type gastrointestinal disease. Few adverse events are experienced with this procedure; however, actual rate remains unclear. This study aimed to clarify current status cases that related EUS-FNA procedure histopathologic diagnoses.A retrospective analysis EUS-FNA-related in Japanese tertiary centers was conducted by assessing following clinical data: basic case information, FNA...
Celiac plexus neurolysis (CPN) is an established treatment for upper abdominal cancer pain. Recently, endoscopic ultrasound-guided CPN (EUS-CPN) was introduced and has enabled the performance of under real-time imaging guidance, thereby making this technique much safer easier. However, procedure not always efficacious, a limited number patients benefit from it. It should be recommended suspected having unfavorable outcomes. We determined predictive factors response to EUS-CPN in order enable...
<b>Background:</b> Recently, transesophageal endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS–FNA) has been evaluated for mediastinal nodal staging (N staging) of lung cancer, as this technique is less invasive than mediastinoscopy and possibly more accurate 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography with computed (PET–CT). However, EUS–FNA does not provide access to pretracheal hilar lymph nodes. More recently, endobronchial transbronchial needle (EBUS–TBNA) introduced a...
<b>Background and study aims:</b> The aim of the current was to assess detection rate right adrenal gland diagnostic ability endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) fine-needle aspiration (FNA) for diagnosis metastasis in potentially resectable lung cancer. <b>Patients methods: </b>This retrospective cohort included a consecutive series 150 patients undergoing EUS/EUS – FNA staging by EUS accuracies computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography-CT (PET-CT), were evaluated. <b>Results:</b>...
Background and Aim Endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERCP) with biliary stenting for the treatment of unresectable malignant obstruction (MBO) is challenging among patients surgically altered anatomy. ultrasound‐guided antegrade (EUS‐ABS) was introduced as an alternative drainage method, although it has not yet been well studied. In this single‐center prospective pilot study, we aimed to evaluate feasibility safety EUS‐ABS MBO in Methods attempted EUS‐ABS, bile duct left lobe accessed...
Objectives Endoscopic ultrasound‐guided fine needle aspiration (EUS‐FNA) for solid pancreatic lesions has high diagnostic yield. However, few prospective multicenter studies have been performed. We performed a cohort study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of EUS‐FNA diagnosis lesions. Methods This involved five hospitals in Japan. The primary outcome was sensitivity diagnosing malignant also evaluated parameters sufficiency EUS‐FNA. Results In total, 246 patients were enrolled. absolute...
Abstract Background The use of macroscopic on-site evaluation (MOSE) to estimate the adequacy a specimen for histological diagnosis during endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided fine-needle tissue acquisition (FNTA) has recently been advocated. This study aimed evaluate diagnostic yield MOSE compared with conventional EUS-FNTA without rapid (ROSE). Methods was an international, multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled study. After providing informed consent, consecutive adult patients...
