Background The source and outcomes of upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) in oncologic patients are poorly investigated. Objective study aimed to investigate these issues a tertiary academic referral center specialized cancer treatment. Methods This was retrospective including all with referred endoscopy due UGIB 2010. Results confirmed 147 (of 324 patients) for suspected episode GI bleeding. Tumor the most common cause ( N = 35, 23.8%), followed by varices 30, 19.7%), peptic ulcer 29,...
Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) in head and neck cancer (HNC) patients is associated with higher complication mortality rates when compared to a general patient population. The pull technique still the preferred worldwide but it has some limitations. aim of this study compare introducer PEG techniques HNC.This based on retrospective analysis prospectively collected database 309 HNC who underwent Cancer Institute São Paulo.The procedure was performed standard endoscope 205 used 137...
Sporadic lymphangiectasias are commonly found throughout the small bowel and considered to be normal. Not uncommonly, pathologic can lead mid-gastrointestinal bleeding, abdominal pain protein-losing enteropathy. Pathologic of include primary lymphangiectasia, secondary lymphangiectasia lymphaticovenous malformations. In this report we present three different cases detected by double balloon enteroscopy. The patients were diagnosed with South American blastomycosis, tuberculosis lymphangioma.
A 79-year-old man with metastatic adenocarcinoma of the cardia was submitted to palliative chemotherapy and esophageal stenting for relief dysphagia. After fourth cycle he admitted emergency department complaining At endoscopy a significant regression lesion size migration stent into stomach were noticed. The standard gastroscope (9.8 mm) easily inserted gastric chamber. In order facilitate use proximal lasso system close end stent, switched therapeutical scope, 10-Fr biliary pusher largest...
Double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) allows evaluation and therapy for various small bowel diseases. In this series the outcome of a 4-year experience in tertiary hospital school Brazil is reported.A total 457 consecutive DBE were performed 418 patients from August 2004 to 2008. 93 with several indications, whose aim was not suspected diseases mucosa, excluded, therefore leaving 364 325 analysis. Data retrospectively collected regard clinical, endoscopic findings, complications.Among patients,...
In many patients, percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) can be limited by digestive tract stenosis. PEG placement using an introducer is the safest alternative for this group of but available devices are difficult to implement and require smaller-caliber tubes. The aim study was evaluate modification technique device with regard following: procedure feasibility, possibility a 20-Fr balloon tube, tube-related function problems, complications, safety, mortality.
Use of fully and partially covered self-expanding metallic esophageal stents (SEMS) is associated with high rates migration [1]. Stent modification a silk thread to permit external fixation, proposed by Shim et al., has been shown reduce [2] but this stent may not be routinely available. Therefore we present another modified technique that can used in patients or at risk for migration.
SummaryStrongyloidiasis is a parasitic disease that may progress to disseminated form, called hyperinfection syndrome, in patients with immunosuppression. The syndrome caused by the wide multiplication and migration of infective larvae, characteristic gastrointestinal and/or pulmonary involvement. This pose diagnostic challenge, as it presents nonspecific findings on endoscopy.
The endoscopic resection of rectal neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) results in good long-term outcomes [1]. Many techniques for the NETs have been described, including polypectomy, mucosal (EMR), and recently EMR with band ligation [2], submucosal dissection [3], even transanal microsurgery [4]. Underwater is a simple inexpensive new technique that has used treatment polyps flat lesions [5]. We present case NET resected an underwater ([Video 1]).
At the time of its introduction in early 80s, endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) was indicated for diagnostic purposes. Recently, EUS has been employed to assist or be main platform complex therapeutic interventions.From a series relevant new topics literature and based on need complement I Brazilian consensus EUS, twenty experienced endosonographers identified reviewed pertinent databases. The quality evidence, strength recommendations, level were graded voted on.Consensus reached eight...
ABSTRACT Background: In the past decades, endoscopic ultrasound has developed from a diagnostic tool to platform for many therapeutic interventions. Various technological advancements have emerged since last Brazilian Consensus, demanding review and update of recommendations based on best scientific evidence. Methods: A group 32 renowned echoendoscopists selected eight relevant topics be discussed generate clinical questions. After that, literature was conducted answer these questions most...
