Data on the outcome of adverse events (AEs) and risk developing acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) after ERCP in patients with cirrhosis are unknown. We examined incidence factors post-ERCP AEs appearance ACLF ERCP.In this multicenter, retrospective, matched-cohort study, we evaluated ERCPs performed from January 2002 to 2015. A group non-ERCP interventions one without was also analyzed for development ACLF.A total 441 were analyzed; 158 (cases) 283 (controls). The overall rate all...
We aimed to evaluate the safety and technical success of an easy-to-use technique that applies underwater cap suction pseudopolyp formation facilitate resection flat lesions or those at appendiceal orifice ileocecal valve.We retrospectively analyzed a register consecutive endoscopic mucosal (CAP-UEMR) procedures performed two centers between September 2020 December 2021. Procedures were using cone-shaped cap, extending 7 mm from endoscope tip, lesion while submerged underwater, followed by...
Abstract Background Removing lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMSs) may be difficult and even harmful, but these features have seldom been analyzed. We aimed to generate a comprehensive assessment of the feasibility safety LAMS retrieval procedures. Methods A prospective multicenter case series including all technically successfully deployed LAMSs between January 2019 2020 that underwent endoscopic stent removal. All retrieval-related data were prospectively recorded using standardized...
Necrosectomy through a metal stent is feasible [1] but can be hindered by the limited mobility of scope tip, and accidental removal during extraction or fragmentation necrotic material not uncommon [2] [3] [4]. We describe technique for removing replacing same lumen-apposing before after each session necrosectomy.
Severe peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM)-related complications are uncommon (about 1.2 % [1]), and CO2-related usually mild. Nevertheless, severe life-threatening such as tension capnothorax or capnoperitoneum with hemodynamic respiratory compromise could develop. Underwater POEM, described by Binmoeller [2], be used to prevent complications.
Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) of lesions involving the appendiceal orifice is technically challenging because poor endoscopic access due to narrow lumen appendix. This brings a high risk perforation thin colonic wall at base cecum.

Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) was first performed in 2008 by Inoue and since then has been used widely, with noninferiority to Heller's [1]. A critical step during POEM is ensuring an appropriate length of the gastric (2–2.5 cm), as a short can lead lack response, if too long, higher incidence moderate reflux esophagitis may occur without improving clinical efficacy [2] [3].
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common sarcomas of gastrointestinal tract. Those that < 5 cm with ≤ mitoses per 50 high power fields (HPFs) considered low risk for metastasis and may be treated by local resection. Duodenal GISTs account 4 %–5 % all GISTs, they usually retroperitoneal, which can make a surgical approach more challenging [1] [2] [3] [4]. Herein, we present case duodenal GIST full-thickness resection via natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES).
