Predicting the need for step-up after EUS-guided drainage of peripancreatic fluid collections, including Quadrant-Necrosis-Infection score validation: a prospective cohort study
Post written by Giuseppe Vanella, MD, PhD, from San Raffaele Hospital, Vita-Salute San Raffaele University, Milan, Italy. When dealing with symptomatic or infected peripancreatic fluid collections (PFCs), EUS-guided drainage has become the standard of care. In about one-half of cases, drainage alone will be enough to solve the issue. Yet, a fraction of patients will require further …
Retrograde device-assisted lumen-apposing metal stent insertion for candy cane syndrome
Post written by Anne Kimberly Lim-Fernandez, MD, from the Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Singapore General Hospital, Singapore. Candy cane syndrome is an uncommon but clinically significant adverse event after gastric bypass or total gastrectomy. It arises when the long blind pouch at the anastomosis preferentially fills with ingested food. This can lead to symptoms …
Superiority of linear-array EUS over MRCP in diagnosing pancreas divisum: evidence from a multicenter retrospective study in Oriental cohorts (with video)
Post written by Jianbo Ni, MD, Yuqing Mao, MD, and Baiwen Li, MD, PhD, from the Department of Gastroenterology, Shanghai General Hospital, Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, Shanghai, China. Our multicenter study demonstrates that linear-array EUS (L-EUS) outperformed MRCP in diagnosing pancreas divisum (PD), particularly in symptomatic patients. With a sensitivity of 90.8% and an area under the receiver operating …
Beyond the scope: endoscopic ultrasound—assisted appendicoscopy by use of a single-use cholangioscope for endoscopic appendicitis therapy: a case report
Post written by Yang-Bor Lu, MD, from the Department of Digestive Diseases, Digestive Endoscopy Center, Xiamen Chang Gung Hospital, Xiamen, China. We performed single-operator endoscopic direct appendiceal therapy (EDAT) by first using a slim endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) miniprobe (Olympus UM-2R, Tokyo, Japan) to map the appendiceal axis then steering a disposable cholangioscope (VedVision, TY-ISS-L31; Vedkang, …
Single-session endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and endoscopic ultrasound—guided gallbladder drainage for management of biliary obstruction and gallbladder disease
Post written by Christina Gainey, MD, from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA. We wanted to study the feasibility, safety, and effectiveness of performing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)—guided gallbladder drainage (EUS-GBD) in a single session to provide definitive management of biliary obstruction and prevent future biliary adverse events without …
Endoscopic ultrasound–guided drainage of intra-abdominal abscess using 15-mm versus 10-mm lumen-apposing metal stents: an international case-matched study
Post written by Yervant Ichkhanian, MD, from the Department of Internal Medicine, Henry Ford Hospital, Detroit, Michigan, and Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, Indiana, USA, and Tobias Zuchelli, MD, from Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Henry Ford Hospital. This multicenter study evaluates whether 15-mm lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMSs) outperform 10-mm LAMSs for EUS-guided drainage …
Diagnosing high-grade pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia in surgically altered anatomy using pancreatic juice cytology
Post written by Soma Fukuda, MD, from the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Oncology, National Cancer Center Hospital, Tokyo, Japan. This case features the use of balloon-assisted enteroscopy and serial pancreatic juice aspiration cytologic examination (SPACE) via an endoscopic nasopancreatic drainage (ENPD) tube to diagnose high-grade pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (HG-PanIN) in a patient with altered anatomy after …
