Abstract Background and study aims Artificial intelligence (AI) models have demonstrated high diagnostic performance identifying neoplasia during digital single-operator cholangioscopy (DSOC). To date, there are no studies directly comparing AI vs. DSOC-guided probe-base confocal laser endomicroscopy (DSOC-pCLE). Thus, we aimed to compare the accuracy of a DSOC-based model with DSOC-pCLE for in patients indeterminate biliary strictures. Patients methods This retrospective cohort-based...
Chronic liver inflammation leads to fibrosis and cirrhosis. To avoid portal hypertension-related complications, fibrosis' early detection is imperative. Biopsy remains the gold standard, but magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) EUS-guided are noninvasive procedures currently used for stiffness measurement (LSM). Two-dimensional shear-wave (EUS-SWE) represents a more-every-day technique.The aim of this study correlate LSM determined by vibration-controlled transient (VCTE) EUS-SWE determine...
Although outcomes of lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS) placement in native anatomy have been reported, data on LAMS surgically altered (SAA) are sparse. We aimed to assess patients with SAA for different indications.
