Esophageal stents are widely used for the palliation of malignant esophageal obstruction. Advances in technology have made stenting technically feasible and widespread such obstruction, but complications remain frequent. We present outcomes a large cohort undergoing stent placement obstruction at tertiary care cancer center. Patients who underwent malignancy-related between 1 January 2001 31 July 2020 were identified. Exclusion criteria included placed benign stricture, fistulae, proximal...
INTRODUCTION: The prevalence of Helicobacter pylori has been declining overall, but there is no current screening strategy in the U.S. to identify patients with H. . We identified and predictors infection among undergoing upper endoscopy gastric biopsies Harris County Hospital System. METHODS: consecutive for any indication from two hospitals System Houston, TX during 1/2015-12/2016. abstracted sociodemographic, laboratory, endoscopic, histopathologic data medical record evaluate previous as...
Introduction: Cystic fibrosis (CF) can lead to obstructive gastrointestinal disease, such as meconium ileus in children and distal intestinal obstruction syndrome (DIOS) adults. DIOS is characterized by the accumulation of inspissated stool viscous secretions terminal ileum proximal colon, leading complete or incomplete obstruction. Treatment strategies for are still essentially empirical there no randomized controlled trials guide therapy. We describe a case CF patient with successfully...
We present our experience and established management strategy for endoscopic ultrasonography-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) in diagnosing suspected pancreatic neoplasms at a tertiary referral cancer hospital.Relevant data were extracted from database patients who underwent EUS-FNA institution between 2007 2016.Among the 309 patients, median age was 67 years 56% men. The most common presenting symptoms abdominal pain (37%) jaundice (29%). Concordance radiographic diagnosis final...
Introduction: Long-term data on the use of ERCP for chronic pancreatitis (CP) is scarce. The aim this study was to evaluate long-term outcomes in management CP over a 10-year period at our tertiary care center. Methods: We retrospectively identified all patients who underwent complications between 1/1/2011 and 12/31/2021. Patients with pancreatic malignancy or less than one year follow-up were excluded. Clinical success defined as reported improvement pain least after (with without opioid...
