The present Clinical Guideline describes short-term and long-term results of biliary stenting depending on indications and stent models; it makes recommendations on when, how, and with which stent to perform biliary drainage in most common clinical settings, including in patients with a potentially resectable malignant biliary obstruction and in those who require palliative drainage of common bile duct or hilar strictures. Treatment of benign conditions (strictures related to chronic pancreatitis, liver transplantation, or cholecystectomy, and leaks and failed biliary stone extraction) and management of complications (includ...

The capsule, which is fixed within the esophagus, transmits data via telemetry to an external receiver. The capsule is usually inserted 6 cm above the squamocolumnar junction during an upper endoscopy. The standard recording duration is 48 hours but this can be extended to 96 hours. The wireless capsule has been shown to be at least as accurate as the conventional catheter for the monitoring of esophageal pH. Normal pH values have been established in three different series. The use of a wireless capsule provides an increased diagnostic yield for GERD compared with the conventional catheter. The increased yield is the...

However, the rural masses in the developing and underdeveloped countries very often have limited access to the advanced healthcare technology. At the Asian Institute of Gastroenterology, Hyderabad, India, the Rural Health Care Project has been initiated in an attempt to provide cost-effective gastrointestinal care to the rural population. The Project was implemented by traveling to remote rural areas in a bus that had been converted into a mobile hospital and equipped with basic diagnostic facilities including a custom-made endoscopy unit. The mobile hospital and endoscopy unit is accompanied by a telemedicine vehicle that transmits all procedures and data to the main t...

Portal hypertension with variceal bleeding and severe dysphagia associated with benign or malignant upper gastrointestinal tract diseases are prominent in these countries. The aim of the Project described in this report was to create a digestive endoscopy facility in Dakar (Senegal, West Africa), that would also provide local training in therapeutic endoscopy to doctors and nurses and facilitate regional autonomy with the opening of a University Certification in Gastroenterology. It took about 10 years to achieve these ...

Reportedly, DPEJ placement with regular endoscopes fails in up to one-third of cases. The aim of the current study was to assess the efficacy and safety of single-balloon enteroscopy (SBE)-assisted DPEJ. The DPEJ placement technique was comparable to conventional PEG placement. A total of 12 DPEJ procedures were performed in 11 patients (mean age 55 years [range 24 – 83 years]; seven males). SBE-assisted DPEJ was successful in 11 of the 12 procedures (92 %). Post-procedural complications included gastroparesis and aspiration p...

Nonoperative ablative therapies have not been described. We treated IPMN of the pancreatic duct with photodynamic therapy (PDT) in a patient who was a poor operative candidate. Porfimer sodium was administered intravenously, and laser light was delivered by a diffusing catheter placed in the pancreatic duct during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Imaging and biopsy findings of IPMN resolved after PDT, and symptoms also resolved. Metastatic cancer was diagnosed 2 years after PDT had been initiated. Pancreatic PDT was well tolerated in this case, and may be a therapeutic option ...

Scan (IntroMedic Co. Ltd., Seoul, Korea), was developed for the evaluation of esophageal diseases while eliminating the inconvenience associated with sterilization, portability, patient monitoring, complications, and the economic burden of sedation. The feasibility, safety, and tolerability of the first version of the E.G. Scan was evaluated in this pilot study. Nasal esophagoscopy was performed successfully in 46 patients with known or suspected esophageal diseases. At least 50 % of the Z-line was visualized by the E.G. Scan in 38 (82.6 %) of 46 patients.

We analyzed the results from 10 patients with either a postsurgical colorectal stricture (n = 7) or rectocutaneous fistula (n = 3) treated with the biodegradable SX-ELLA esophageal stent (covered or uncovered). Stents were successfully placed in nine patients, although early migration subsequently occurred in one. Placement was impossible in one patient due to deformity of the area and the fact that the stricture was approximately 30 cm from the anus. The fistulas were successfully closed in all patients, although symptoms reappeared in one patient. In the six patients who received stents for strictures, s...

A total of 20 patients were identified (mean age 41.2 years; 11 males) who had ulcerative colitis-like inflammatory lesions at the appendiceal orifice without concomitant typical features of ulcerative colitis, such as rectal involvement. A total of 19 patients were followed up endoscopically for a mean duration of 18.4 months (range 2 – 84 months). Typical ulcerative colitis developed in five patients (25 %; four proctitis, one pancolitis) in a mean time of 18.4 months (range 2 – 36 months). Negative conversion of all inflammatory lesions occurred in seven patient...

In the absence of guidelines, there is wide disparity in the management of patients with these premalignant conditions. The European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE), the European Helicobacter Study Group (EHSG), the European Society of Pathology (ESP) and the Sociedade Portuguesa de Endoscopia Digestiva (SPED) have therefore combined efforts to develop evidence-based guidelines on the management of patients with precancerous conditions and lesions of the stomach (termed MAPS).

Clinically, ISD of the pancreas and/or biliary tree may mimic pancreatic cancer, sclerosing cholangitis, or cholangiocarcinoma. Patients often present with abdominal pain, weight loss, jaundice, itch, and biochemical signs of pancreatitis and cholestasis. Tomography may reveal enlargement of the pancreas or may mimic malignant pancreatic lesions, and cholangiopancreatography may disclose irregularities of the pancreatic duct and stenoses of the distal and/or proximal common bile duct and intrahepatic bile ductules.

The first part (the Clinical Guideline) focused on the results obtained with EUS-guided sampling, and the role of this technique in patient management, and made recommendations on circumstances that warrant its use. The current Technical Guideline discusses issues related to learning, techniques, and complications of EUS-guided sampling, and to processing of specimens. Technical issues related to maximizing the diagnostic yield (e. g., rapid on-site cytopathological evaluation, needle diameter, microcore isolati...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the initial experience of a novel multibending backward-oblique viewing duodenoscope (M-D scope) for ERCP. This was a retrospective review of 23 patients with native papilla who received biliary ERCP with the M-D scope between April and December 2010. The procedures were performed by two well-experienced endoscopists. In all patients, biliary cannulation and therapeutic procedure were successfully completed. In two patients with Billroth I gastrectomy, ERCP were initially attempted with a conven...

There were numerous abstracts on EUS-guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA) and core biopsy to improve tissue acquisition, improve diagnostic accuracy, and indeed go beyond routine cytology and tissue diagnosis. EUS-guided therapy including drainage, anastomoses, injection of therapeutic agents, and ablation were other common themes with a lot of new information presented, much of which was obtained from randomized trials. This review discusses in detail some of the abstracts that followed a common theme. Additional interesting abstracts on this topic are listed at the end...

Despite this, only about 100 abstracts concerning gastrointestinal bleeding (excluding bleeding complicating endoscopic procedures) were presented at this year’s Digestive Disease Week (DDW; 7 – 10 May 2011; Chicago, Illinois, USA), accounting for less than 2 % of all presented lectures and posters. It seems that the number of such abstracts has been decreasing over recent years. This may be due in part to the high level of medical care already achieved, especially in the areas of pharmacotherapy and endoscopic treatment of gastrointestinal bleeding.

Reports on chromoendoscopic findings in microscopic colitis are scarce and in this paper we describe such findings. We have examined 13 patients with microscopic colitis by means of chromoendoscopy with indigo carmine 0.2 % – 0.5 %. In all 13 cases continuous mucosal changes were seen, with disappearance of innominate grooves or with irregularity of grooves. The segmental distribution of abnormal chromoendoscopic findings corresponded almost completely with the microscopic features. A diffuse mosaic pattern was found in five of 10 cases of coll...

However, 9 % of patients eventually required surgical revision. Therefore, endoscopic follow-up is essential. Diabetes, smoking, and long gastric pouches were significant risk factors for marginal ulcer formation, suggesting increased acid exposure and mucosal ischemia are both involved in marginal ulcer pathogenesis. Management of these factors may prove effective in managing marginal ulcers, and tailoring postoperative proton pump inhibitor therapy to patients with multiple risk factors could be effective.[...]© Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New YorkArticle in Thieme eJournals:Table of contents  |  Abstract  |  Full text (Source: Endoscopy) Endoscopy journals http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=5316221 Thu, 13 Oct 2011 04:00:00 +0100 5316221 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=5316220&cid=s_36605_17_f&fid=36605&url=http%3A%2F%2Fdx.doi.org%2F10.1055%2Fs-0030-1256633 Conclusion: The observed disparity in endoscopic performance between surgical and gastroenterology trainees suggests the need for a combined or unitary approach to endoscopy training for specialist medical and surgical trainees.[...]© Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New YorkArticle in Thieme eJournals:Table of contents  |  Abstract  |  Full text (Source: Endoscopy) Endoscopy journals http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=5316220 Thu, 13 Oct 2011 04:00:00 +0100 5316220 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=5297572&cid=s_36605_17_f&fid=36605&url=http%3A%2F%2Fdx.doi.org%2F10.1055%2Fs-0030-1256743 Endoscopy 2011;

However, autologous blood may offer advantages at least over diluted epinephrine due to its specific properties: corpuscular components may provide prolonged persistence and procoagulatory constituents may additionally prevent recurrent bleeding. We performed successful endoscopic injection of autologous blood for acute spurting (Forrest Ia) or oozing (Ib) bleeding from duodenal or gastric ulcers. The injection of autologous blood was simple to apply and achieved hemostasis in bleeding Forrest I peptic ulcers.

When outcome data for re-treatment of residual adenoma within 3 months are included, EMR and TEM seem equally effective. Nevertheless, the added morbidity of additional EMRs could not be accounted for in this analysis.

We evaluated the usefulness of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided fine needle aspiration (FNA) of peritoneal nodules in 12 patients with undiagnosed ascites (9 men, 3 women; mean [SD] age 47.5 [11.8] years). On EUS, peritoneal deposits, noted as hyperechoic rounded lesions compared with surrounding anechoic ascitic fluid, were observed in 10 /12 patients (83.3 %). Cytological examination of EUS-FNA samples from these deposits revealed metastatic adenocarcinoma in four patients, poorly differentiated carcinoma in one patient and pseudomyxoma peritonei in one patient.

Sometimes endoscopic resection is needed for accurate diagnosis or in the rare cases of malignant transformation of SELs. In this case series, we evaluated the usefulness of endoscopic submucosal resection with a ligation device (ESMR-L) in esophageal SELs. Twenty-three patients with 25 esophageal SELs that were no larger than 13 mm and were localized within the muscularis mucosae or submucosa were enrolled. ESMR-L was successfully performed in all 25 SELs. The en bloc resection rate was 100% (25/25), and histologically complete resection was achieved in 24 lesions (24/25, 96%). After resection of the lesion by snare, minor immediate bleeding occurred in four ca...
