<b>Background and study aims:</b> Type III achalasia is characterized by rapidly propagating pressurization attributable to spastic contractions. Although laparoscopic Heller myotomy (LHM) the current gold standard management for type achalasia, peroral endoscopic (POEM) conceivably superior because it allows a longer myotomy. Our aims were compare efficacy safety of POEM with LHM patients. <b>Patients methods:</b> A retrospective 49 patients who underwent across eight centers compared 26 at...
Background and study aims: Endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) can be performed entirely transgastrically (hepatogastrostomy/EUS-HG) or transduodenally (choledochoduodenostomy/EUS-CDS). It is unknown how both techniques compare. The aims of this were to compare efficacy safety identify predictors adverse events. Patients methods: Consecutive jaundiced patients with distal malignant obstruction who underwent EUS-BD at multiple international centers included....
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is the diagnostic procedure of choice in patients with biliary strictures and no culprit mass lesion on abdominal imaging, but it limited its accuracy. The aim this prospective study was to determine value intraductal ultrasound (IDUS) distinguishing between benign malignant clinical setting.Sixty-one painless jaundice computed tomography, who were found have a stricture at ERCP, underwent IDUS high-frequency (20-MHz) wire-guided probe....
Molecular analysis of pancreatic cyst fluid obtained by EUS-FNA may increase diagnostic accuracy. We evaluated the utility cyst-fluid molecular analysis, including mutational K-ras, loss heterozygosity (LOH) at tumor suppressor loci, and DNA content in diagnoses surveillance cysts.We retrospectively reviewed Columbia University Pancreas Center database for all patients who underwent EUS/FNA evaluation cystic lesions followed surgical resection or between 2006-2011. compared accuracy mucinous...
Emergent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography cannot be performed at the bedside in critically ill patients an intensive care unit because of requirement for fluoroscopy. Moving such to a safe location where fluoroscopy is available can pose practical problems, and lead delayed intervention, which may adversely affect outcome. We report use intraductal ultrasound facilitate therapeutic biliary interventions four unit. Cannulation was endoscopically using sphincterotome guide wire....
Background and study aims Killian-Jamieson Diverticulum (KJD) is a rarer more recently described upper pharyngeal diverticulum than Zenker's (ZD). KJD difficult to manage ZD because it tends extend lower into the mediastinum neck in close proximity recurrent laryngeal nerve. There limited literature on management transcervical surgical diverticulectomy mainstay of therapy. Patients methods Here we describe two endoscopic diverticulotomy treat - direct tunneling (with hypopharyngeal tunnel or...
