Endoscopic ultrasound guided gastrojejunostomy (EUS-GJ) with lumen apposing metal stents has recently emerged as a viable option, an alternative to surgical and endoscopic enteral stenting, for managing gastric outlet obstruction (GOO). We aim perform retrospective analysis of the efficacy, safety outcomes EUS-GJ performed at three tertiary institutions in United Kingdom.Consecutive patients who underwent between August 2018 March 2021 were identified from prospectively maintained database....

Background and aim: Endoscopic ultrasound-guided drainage is a minimally invasive first-line modality for the of pancreatic fluid collection (PFC) resulting in shorter hospital stay less morbidity compared with surgical cystogastrostomy. Our aim to evaluate potential differences outcomes endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) guided transmural (EUS-TD) pseudocyst (PP) walled-off necrosis (WON).Method: We retrospectively reviewed 100 consecutive EUS-guided drainages PFC utilising EUS reports; clinical...

Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) is an uncommon pathology of the pancreas with unpredictable malignant potential. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) assessment plays a vital role in lesion characterization and confirmation tissue diagnosis. However, there paucity data regarding imaging these lesions.To determine characteristic EUS features SPN define its preoperative assessment.This was international, multicenter, retrospective, observational study prospective cohorts from 7 large...

A 41-year-old man presented with chest pain and recent flu-like illness. ECG demonstrated inferolateral ST elevation troponin I level was raised. diagnosis of myocardial infarction made intravenous thrombolysis administered. Catheter angiography did not demonstrate significant coronary artery disease, so cardiac MRI performed to clarify the diagnosis. Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) images revealed multiple discreet band-like regions …

Gallstone disease is a recognized complication of bariatric surgery. Subsequent management choledocholithiasis may be challenging due to altered anatomy which include Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). We conducted retrospective service evaluation study assess the safety and efficacy endoscopic ultrasound-directed transgastric retrograde cholangiopancreatography (EDGE) in patients with RYGB anatomy.All who underwent EDGE for after at two tertiary care centers United Kingdom between January...

Aims EUS guided cystogastrostomy using lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS) is a recognised method of draining pancreatic fluid collections. LAMS have been used to drain other abdominal collections, however hepatic and splenic subcapsular collections are commonly drained percutaneous approach. We present retrospective series drainage these LAMS, assessing the technical clinical outcome.

Abstract Background Chyle leak is a recognised complication of oesophagectomy associated with increased length hospital stay, morbidity and potentially fatal. management controversial, lacks standardised or validated approach. Interventional radiological approaches are well described routinely able to identify embolise these thoracic duct leaks reducing need for return theatre. The aim retrospectively evaluate outcomes lymphangio-embolisation in patients post Ivor Lewis oesophageal...

Post-operative pancreatic fistulas (POPF) and fluid collections (POPFC) remain significant sources of morbidity mortality after resections. There remains a paucity literature describing endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) guided drainage POPFC using Hot AXIOS™ lumen apposing metal stent (LAMS).We conducted retrospective study, encompassing all consecutive patients with managed LAMS at our institution between January 2017 December 2019. Primary outcome measures were technical clinical success....

Cholangiogram interpretation is not used as a key performance indicator (KPI) of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) training, and national societies recommend different minimum numbers per annum to maintain competence. This study aimed determine the relationship between correct ERCP cholangiogram experience.One hundred fifty ERCPists were surveyed appropriately interpret cholangiographic findings. There three groups 50 participants each: "Trainees," "Consultants group 1"...
