Post written by Shigenobu Yoshimura, MD, from the Department of Gastroenterology, Kameda Medical Center, Chiba, Japan. This video case shows an endoscopic ultrasound-guided pancreatic duct drainage (EUS-PD) using transduodenal puncture sites performed for malignant pancreatic duct obstruction. We performed EUS-PD from the long position with a forward-viewing (FV) echoendoscope. EUS-PD has emerged as a feasible …
Endoscopic band ligation in the treatment of gastric antral vascular ectasia
Post written by Babu P. Mohan, MD, from the Department of Gastroenterology & Hepatology, University of Utah Health School of Medicine, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. Treatment of GAVE is traditionally done by endoscopic thermal therapy like argon plasma coagulation (APC) or radiofrequency ablation (RFA). However, recently, endoscopic band ligation has been reported as an …

Endoscopic-mediated, biliary hydrodynamic injection mediating clinically relevant levels of gene delivery in pig liver
Post written by Robert L. Kruse, MD, PhD, from the Department of Pathology, The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland, USA. Viral-based approaches predominate the field of gene therapy for rare diseases but suffer many limitations including anti-vector immune responses and high cost of manufacturing. Our study focused on developing a novel nonviral …
Endoscopic submucosal dissection by using a new traction device
Post written by Masami Omae, MD, from the Division of Medicine, Department of Upper Gastrointestinal Diseases, Karolinska University Hospital and Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden. We report a case of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) using a new off-the-shelf traction device that is easy to deploy and enables easier access to the submucosa during ESD. Several devices …
