Definitive endoscopic repair of transected bile ducts after cholecystectomy using EUS-guided hepaticogastrostomy and retrograde cholangioperitoneoscopy
Post written by Manuel Perez-Miranda, MD, PhD, from Hospital Universitario Rio Hortega, Valladolid, Spain. A patient with a transected bile duct after cholecystectomy presenting with high-output bile leakage was successfully treated with staged endoscopy. EUS-guided hepaticogastrostomy was used first to internalize externally diverted bile flow. At a follow-up endoscopy, a cholangioscope by ERCP grasped a …
Enhancing stent length and stability with a novel through-the-scope suturing platform: a case series
Post written by Shailendra Singh, MD, and Ayowumi A. Adekolu, MD, from West Virginia University, Morgantown, West Virginia, USA. We present a case series showing the use of a through-the-scope suturing (TTSS) system (X-Tack; Apollo Endosurgery, Austin, Tex, USA) for fixing 2 fully covered self-expandable metal stents (FCSEMSs) for creating longer stents as well as …
Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty using mixed-tooth grasping forceps as an alternative to the tissue helix
Post written by Chase Wooley, BS, from True You Weight Loss, Cary, North Carolina, USA. In this video case, we demonstrate the advantages of using a mixed-tooth grasping forceps rather than the traditional tissue helix to acquire full-thickness gastric folds during the endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) procedure. A customized animation highlights the risk of transmural tissue …
Retrograde endosonography for diagnosing imaging-occult cancer at the head of the pancreas in a patient with distal gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y reconstruction
Post written by Michael Lajin, MD, from Sharp HealthCare, San Diego, California, USA. A 73-year-old man with a history of distal gastrectomy presented with jaundice and 20-pound weight loss. Abdominal CT with intravenous contrast showed cholelithiasis and a dilated biliary tree without evidence of choledocholithiasis or neoplasm. MRCP was not possible because of shrapnel. He …
A modified approach for closing endoscopic submucosal dissection defects using clip with line pulley securing technique and endoloop
Post written by Yohei Minato, MD, from the Department of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, NTT Medical Center Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan. We modified the clip with line pulley suturing (CLiPS) technique using a plastic detachable snare. A clip with a string is placed at the distal margin of the mucosal defect. A second clip is then hooked onto …
Closure in antireflux mucoplasty using anchor prong clips: dead space–eliminating technique
Post written by Kazuki Yamamoto, MD, PhD, from the Digestive Diseases Center, Showa University Koto Toyosu Hospital, Tokyo, Japan. This study features the dead space—eliminating technique (DET) as a novel closure method during antireflux mucoplasty (ARM-P) for proton pump inhibitor refractory—dependent GERD. Other techniques such as antireflux mucosectomy and antireflux mucosal ablation have shown effectiveness in meta-analyses, …
Salvage endoscopic resection for perforation site recurrence of colonic polyp
Post written by Deepak Madhu, MD, MRCP, DM, from the Department of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, NTT Medical Center Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan. A 79-year-old patient underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for resection of a colonic polyp. The resection was complicated by an intraprocedural perforation, which an endoscopic omental patch closed. A surveillance endoscopy performed 1 year later showed …
