Incremental benefit of dye-based chromoendoscopy to predict the risk of submucosal invasive cancer in large nonpedunculated colorectal polyps

On By GIEjournalIn GIE, InvestigationsLeave a comment

Post written by Mayenaaz Sidhu, MBBS, from the Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Westmead Hospital, Sydney, Australia. This study was conducted to evaluate the incremental benefit of dye-based chromoendoscopy (DBC) to predict the risk of submucosal invasive cancer (SMIC) for large nonpedunculated colorectal polyps (LNPCPs) among independent observers. Real-time optical evaluation of the lesion’s surface …

Over-the-wire snare-assisted stent exchange in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography

On By GIEjournalIn VideoGIELeave a comment

Post written by Fateh Bazerbachi, MD, from CentraCare, Interventional Endoscopy Program, St. Cloud Hospital, St. Cloud, Minnesota, USA. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography allows ductal stenting to alleviate symptomatic biliary or pancreatic duct strictures, and this is achieved through prosthesis placement over a guidewire. There may be a need for stent exchange during future procedures and, in …

Endoscopic submucosal dissection using traction by a spring-and-loop with clip for a laterally spreading tumor in the inferior aspect of the cecum: a nonreferral center experience

On By GIEjournalIn VideoGIELeave a comment

Post written by Yohei Koyama, MD, from the Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Tokyo Medical University Hospital, Tokyo, Japan. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has been widely accepted as a minimally invasive treatment for early colorectal neoplasms. However, cecal ESD remains a challenging treatment owing to the anatomical features of the cecum, such as the thin …

Endoscopic ultrasound-guided ileosigmoidostomy using a lumen-apposing metal stent for palliation of malignant small-bowel obstruction

On By GIEjournalIn VideoGIELeave a comment

Post written by Donevan Westerveld, MD, from the Division of Gastroenterology & Hepatology, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medicine, New York, New York, USA. A high-grade malignant small-bowel obstruction (SBO) is typically managed with surgical diversion (ileostomy) or palliative decompression via nasogastric tube or venting gastrostomy. These approaches have a significant impact on a patient’s quality of …
