Referral patterns and outcomes in patients with dysplastic Barrett’s esophagus at an expert endoscopic therapy center: impact of radiofrequency ablation before referral
Post written by Rohit Goyal, MBBS, and Prasad Iyer, MD, MS, from the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Mayo Clinic, Phoenix, Arizona, USA. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is the cornerstone of endoscopic eradication therapy for dysplastic Barrett’s esophagus. Evidence suggests that patients receiving endoscopic eradication therapy at high-volume centers have better outcomes in terms of rates of achieving complete remission …

Stenosis development after circumferential colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection: a multicenter analysis of predictive factors and outcomes
Post written by Sandro Sferrazza, MD, and Giulio Calabrese, MD, from the Gastroenterology and Endoscopy Unit, ARNAS Civico-Di Cristina-Benfratelli, Palermo, Italy. Our study evaluated incidence, predictors, clinical consequences, and management of postresection stenosis after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for colorectal lesions involving ≥90% of the luminal circumference. We conducted an international multicenter analysis including 315 patients treated at 29 tertiary …
Amber-red color imaging for enhanced anatomical structures recognition in third-space endoscopy: a prospective video-based study
Post written by Roberto de Sire, MD, PhD, and Roberta Maselli, MD, PhD, FESGE, FJGES, from the the Endoscopy Unit, Gastroenterology Department, Humanitas Research Hospital IRCCS, Rozzano, Italy. Third-space endoscopy is fundamentally a visual discipline. Whether it is endoscopic submucosal dissection or peroral endoscopic myotomy, every procedural decision depends on the operator’s ability to accurately recognize tissue planes and …
Long-term outcomes of endoscopic ultrasound–guided gastroenterostomy: a prospective cohort study tracking symptom recurrence, reintervention timelines, and stent modifications over time
Post written by Giuseppe Vanella, MD, PhD, from the Pancreatobiliary Endoscopy and Endosonography Division, IRCCS San Raffaele Scientific Institute, and Vita-Salute San Raffaele University, Milan, Italy. EUS-guided gastroenterostomy (EUS-GE) is to date a well-established option for malignant gastric outlet obstruction, and the short-term data are strongly supported by recent randomized evidence. What is usually missing is the long …
