Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) represents the gold standard for jaundice palliation in patients with distal malignant biliary obstruction (DMBO). Biliary drainage using electrocautery lumen apposing metal stent (EC-LAMS) is currently a well-established procedure when ERCP fails. In palliative setting endoscopic ultrasound-guided gallbladder (EUS-GBD) could represent an easy and valid option. We performed prospective study new EC-LAMS primary aim to assess clinical...
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Brush cytology is a widely used diagnostic method in conjunction with intraductal biopsies during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, but its yield remains limitation. This study evaluated the efficacy of biliary using newly developed brush device rapid on‐site cytological evaluation (ROSE) for detecting malignant strictures (MBSs). Methods In total, 58 patients suspected intrinsic MBS identified by ultrasound were enrolled. After achieving tissue...
Objectives Although fully covered self‐expandable metal stents (FCSEMS) are used for the management of anastomotic biliary stricture (ABS) after liver transplantation (LT), there is concern about long‐term adverse events such as recurrence stricture. We evaluated efficacy a modified nonflared FCSEMS (M‐FCSEMS) compared to plastic (PS) refractory ABS LT. Methods Consecutive patients who underwent placement an M‐FCSEMS (M‐FCSEMS group) or multiple PS (PS LT were enrolled. The primary outcome...
: Peroral cholangioscopy (POC) has been used to assess intrahepatic duct (IHD) lesions but with a limited role. A new multibending (MB) ultraslim endoscope designed improve POC performance. We evaluated the usefulness of using MB for management IHD lesions.
Background/Aims We sought to increase our understanding of the rhinitis-asthma relationship and improve strategies for treatment patients with these diseases. The aim this study was identify a connection between upper airway inflammation lower responsiveness. Methods counted eosinophils on nasal smears, performed spirometry, allergic skin tests, methacholine challenge tests in 308 schoolchildren plus questionnaire respiratory symptoms. concentration causing 20% fall forced expiratory volume...
Treatment options for difficult bile duct stones are limited. Direct peroral cholangioscopy (POC)-guided lithotripsy may be an option. A newly developed multibending (MB) ultraslim endoscope has several structural features optimized direct POC. We evaluated the utility of POC using MB in patients with stones.Twenty stones, whom stone removal conventional endoscopic methods, including mechanical lithotripsy, had failed were enrolled from March 2018 to August 2019. POC-guided was performed by...
The present study reports the case of a patient that developed spontaneous perirenal hematoma during treatment with bevacizumab-containing chemotherapy. A 44-year-old woman metastatic sigmoid colon cancer, who was being treated bevacizumab (5 mg/kg, intravenous, 90 min biweekly), admitted to hospital following 3 cycles chemotherapy, sudden onset dyspnea and oliguria. An emergency hemodialysis performed large right diagnosed using computed tomography. immediately instructed discontinue...
Abstract Background and study aims Endobiliary radiofrequency ablation (RFA) can be an effective palliative treatment, but few studies have evaluated its outcomes for malignant obstruction in the hilar bile duct, which has a thin wall complex duct–vascular contacts. We efficacy safety of temperature-controlled endobiliary RFA, reduce risk unintentional thermal injury by maintaining temperature segment, treatment inoperable cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). Patients methods After propensity score...
Abstract Background Disposable digital single-operator cholangioscopy (D-SOC) and direct peroral (D-POC) using an ultraslim endoscope are established POC modalities for the diagnosis treatment of various biliary diseases. We compared usefulness D-SOC D-POC intraductal superficial lesions bile duct (ISL-Bs). Methods 38 consecutive patients with suspected diseases who underwent both were enrolled. The primary outcome was ISL-B detection rate, secondary outcomes technical success POC-guided...

<title>Abstract</title> Background and Aim: A long self-expandable metal stent (SEMS) with a sufficient intragastric portion is typically preferred for endoscopic ultrasound-guided hepaticogastrostomy (EUS-HGS). However, this type of can complicate re-intervention recurrent biliary obstruction (RBO). We evaluated the efficacy safety RBO through after EUS-HGS using novel partially covered SEMS an anchoring flange. Methods The was designed proximal uncovered measuring 1.5 cm in length...
Durable biliary drainage is essential in patients with pancreatic cancer the era of effective neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT). Plastic stent (PS) tends to occlude easily, and current metal stents are designed for nonresectable cancer. We evaluated efficacy a modified non-flared fully covered self-expandable (M-FCSEMS) during perioperative period resectable or borderline cancer.Consecutive ductal adenocarcinoma had 12-mm M-FCSEMS (M-FCSEMS group) 7-Fr PS (PS placed decompression before NACT...
