The Short-Access Mother –Baby-(SAMBA) Cholangioscopy System
Publication date: January 2014 Source:Video Journal and Encyclopedia of GI Endoscopy, Volume 1, Issues 3–4 Author(s): Volker Meves, Christian Ell, Eckart Frimberger, Jürgen Pohl Conventional mother–baby cholangioscopy systems have significant limitations including poor image resolution, limited maneuverability and fragile cholangioscopes. We propose the novel short-access mother–baby-(SAMBA) cholangioscopy system that involves a very short and flexible cholangioscope that is introduced in a dedicated mother duodenoscope with an extra distal side port. Clinical feasibility of this device is demonstrated i...

Surveillance of Non-neoplastic Barrett ׳s Esophagus and Application of the Prague-Classification
Publication date: April 2014 Source:Video Journal and Encyclopedia of GI Endoscopy, Volume 2, Issue 1 Author(s): Mate Knabe, Jürgen Pohl Barrett׳s Esophagus (BE) is an important premalignant condition that predisposes to adenocarcinoma and there is evidence that the extent of the Barrett׳s segment correlates with the risk of malignancy. The extent of the endoscopic findings is described by the Prague classification using the Prague C & M criteria (C is the circumferential length and M is the maximal length). The purpose of these criteria is to simplify and standardize endoscopic characterization of the e...

Esophageal Granular Cell (Abrikossow) Tumor: Macroscopic Appearance and Endoscopic Management (Video)
Publication date: December 2014 Source:Video Journal and Encyclopedia of GI Endoscopy, Volume 2, Issues 3–4 Author(s): Volker Meves , Jürgen Pohl Granular cell tumors are rare but benign submucosal tumors of the esophagus. Usually tumors are rather small and do not cause symptoms. We demonstrate a case with typical macroscopic appearance at endoscopy and endosonography. Important differential diagnoses are leiomyoma, and gastrointestinal stroma tumors. Although the patient had no symptoms, he insisted on a complete removal of this tumor. After careful inspection of the submucosal tumor with high-definition white l...

Pancreatic Necrosectomy Through a Novel Double-flange Lumen-apposing Covered Metal Stent (Video)
We present a 60 year old patient admitted to the intensive care unit for severe acute pancreatitis that developed WON with superinfection. The intensivists and surgeons indicated endoscopic cystgastrostomy to evacuate the collection. Using the echoendoscope we found a large collection adherent to the gastric wall. The collection was accessed under EUS-guidance using the Hot AXIOS™ catheter that features a cautery tip, then a 15mm AXIOS™ stent was deployed through the cystgastrostomy orifice to keep it patent. The patient required two necrosectomy sessions to clean the cavity. The WON resolved in 6 weeks and the stent w...
