Authors: A. Arrubla, M. Rullan, M. L. Arias, M. Balerdi, L. Villalonga, V. Jusué, V. Busto, J. Urman, I. Fernandez-Urien, J. J. Vila
Journal: Endoscopy (2024)

Abstract Text We present a 46-year-old male patient with past medical history of chronic pancreatitis of toxic etiology and a looped pancreatic ductal fusion as an anatomical variant. Considering the findings of preceding ERCPs, we decided to perform a pancreatic rendezvous. Once the rendezvous was completed, a catheter was introduced through the guidewire, verifying the presence of a very resistant stricture at the level of the ductal fusion that could not be crossed with the catheter nor a 4 mm dilator balloon. Therefore, we passed a Soehendra catheter through the stricture, allowing the progression of the catheter and the dilatator balloon. Afterwards, we dilated the stenosis up to 4 mm. Finally, we introduced a plastic pancreatic stent of 5 cm y 5 Fr checking the correct drainage.

Authors: B. Walter, J. Mueller, A. Kuellmer, A. Fichtl, A. Schmidt
Journal: Endoscopy (2024)

Aims Guidelines recommend ablation of residual Barrett´s mucosa after sucessfull endoscopic treatment in Barrett´s early carcinoma. Recent data indicate a non-inferiority of argon-plasma-coagulation (APC) compared with standard ablation technique. A limiting aspect is the fact that APC is only applicable via through the scope probe which leads to an impaired navigation for precise treatment.

Authors: S. Malipatil, K. Khalaf, N. Sabrie, M. Deeb, W. Mhalawi, D. Tham, A. Mokhtar, C. Na, S. Abal, D. Chopra, S. Gupta, S. Jugnundan, N. Gimpaya, Y. Fujiyoshi, M.R. A. Fujiyoshi, K. M. Pawlak, N. Calo, J. Mosko, C. Teshima, G. May, S. Grover
Journal: Endoscopy (2024)

Aims Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is an establisheddiagnostic and therapeutic tool for hepatobiliary disease. Given its technicaldemands, it remains one of the highest-risk endoscopic procedures with reportedadverse event rates of up to 12%. Addressing modifiable factors, such as operatorfatigue, may mitigate procedural risk. In colonoscopy, there is conflicting data onwhether procedure time of day, as a surrogate of operator fatigue, affectsoutcomes, with some literature demonstrating decreased procedure completion andpolyp detection rates in the afternoon. There is a paucity of data evaluating thispotential relationship in ERCP. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact ofprocedure time of day on procedural success and short-term adverse outcomes inpatients undergoing ERCP.
Contribution of duodenal biopsies in pancreatic cancer with duodenal involvement: Single-center experience
Authors: B. Aabdi, H. Koulali, A. Zazour, O. Elmqaddem, Z. Ismaili, K. Ghizlane
Journal: Endoscopy (2024)

Aims Pancreatic cancer is a silent killer cancer and the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death with a poor overall survival rate. Most patients with pancreatic carcinoma develop, independently or concomitantly, biliary obstruction and/or direct duodenal invasion during their disease. Detection of pancreatic cancer in duodenal biopsy specimens could be a diagnostic challenge. We investigated a series of duodenal biopsies to identify duodenal wall invasion by pancreatic carcinoma. Furthermore, this study aimed to evaluate duodenal involvement as a prognostic factor for the survival of patients with pancreatic cancer.

Endoscopic management of an early-onset extensive traxheoesophageal fistula
Authors: V. Lekakis, A. Koutsoumpas
Journal: Endoscopy (2024)

Abstract Text Tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) refers to an abnormal communication, either congenital or acquired, that occurs between the posterior wall of the trachea and the adjacent anterior wall of the esophagus. The primary etiology of acquired, nonmalignant TEF is long-term intubation, with an average duration from intubation to manifestation of 42 days. We present a case of early-onset TEF that occurred eight days after ventilator support. During the upper GI endoscopy, a significant defect was identified in the anterior wall of the esophagus, allowing for clear visualization of the endotracheal tube. A fully covered esophageal stent was successfully deployed, providing entire covering of the gap, while a nasogastric tube was inserted via the stent. The stent was fixed at its proximal end with a TTS clip.

Authors: A. Hedjoudje, M. Camus duboc, P. Bichard, J. Boyer, T. Ponchon, F. Prat
Journal: Endoscopy (2024)

Aims Advanced interventional endoscopy techniques such as endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and mucosal/submucosal resection (MR/SD), among others, are complex procedures that require a high level of expertise to provide effective and safe patient care. Specific training in advanced endoscopy has been offered in France since 2003 and lasts for two years following the completion of the Digestive and Hepatogastroenterology Specialty (DES). To obtain the diploma, students must successfully perform over 100 ERCP procedures on a native papilla, as well as perform digestive and biliary stent placements and mucosectomies. Due to the necessity of high-quality training to achieve competence, we sought to evaluate the practices of former trainees of the Interventional Endoscopy (IE) DIU in their current professional roles.

Authors: N. Angadi, E. Seward, C. Von Wagner, A. Hosea, M. Villa, S. Stoffel, M. Nemec, S. Badat, A. Kaushal, R. Kerrison, M. Elhusseiny, I. Parisi
Journal: Endoscopy (2024)

Aims Video capsule Endoscopy involves patients swallowing a battery-powered capsule containing a small miniature camera to capture images of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Unlike traditional GI investigations, this procedure allows patients to maintain their daily routines while the capsule is in transit, offering comfort, reduced embarrassment, and a non-invasive nature of GI examination. During the Covid-19 pandemic, an "At-home Capsule Endoscopy" (ACE) was developed by University College London Hospital, allowing patients to complete the test remotely with virtual medical support. This study evaluates patient perceptions and satisfaction with ACE.

Authors: D. McCullagh, A. Mcbrearty, M. Loughrey, P. Allen, C. Warren, K. Mccallion
Journal: Endoscopy (2024)

Aims Endoscopic full thickness resection (eFTR) is an advanced endoscopic technique for resection of complex gastrointestinal lesions. We aim to report outcomes for patients undergoing eFTR who were identified as having recurrent polyps despite repeat endoscopic attempts at clearance, lesions that appeared suspicious for malignancy on eFTR but were benign on subsequent histological assessment, or other benign indications. These patients in our trust would historically have been referred for consideration of surgical intervention.

Endoscopic retrograde appendicitis therapy for periappendiceal abscess
Authors: L. Deliang, L. Jinglong, Z. Yangyang, L. Dan, Z. Lixia, B. Liu
Journal: Endoscopy (2024)

Abstract Text A 35-year-old female patient was admitted our hospital due to fever and abdominal pain. Abdominal ultrasound and CT showed appendicitis and abscess formation around the appendix. The patient refused appendectomy, and thus endoscopic retrograde appendicitis therapy was attempted. A transparent cap was attached at the tip of the endoscope and was together inserted to the opening of the appendix. Then, the Gerlach's valve was put away, and a catheter was intubated to the appendix cavity under X-ray monitoring. Subsequently, the contrast agent was injected into the appendiceal cavity to show the contrast agent accumulated along the ascending colon. Finally, a plastic stent was implanted. A large amount of pus flowing out through the stent, and the appendiceal cavity was fully flushed with saline. The patient was discharged successfully 3 days later. There was no recurrence during the follow-up period.

Authors: M. Bulajic, C. Rocchi, M. Massidda, P. Giustacchini, K. Jankovic, N. Panic, G. Costamagna, S. F. Vadalà Di Prampero
Journal: Endoscopy (2024)

Abstract Text We present the case of a 54 year old woman that has undergone the MacLean technique of vertical band gastroplasty in 2003. Because of abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, an upper endoscopy in July 2022 showed partially migrated mesh creating an incomplete obstruction. We cut the exposed part of the mesh with pulsed APC (Argon Plasma Coagulation, ERBE FiAPC-Sonde 2200A-7.0-effect/strength) close to the sites of penetration through the gastric wall. The control upper GI series showed the normal passage of the contrast medium with stomach anatomy corresponding to previous bariatric surgery. At 6 month clinical follow-up the patient was asymptomatic. This is the first case treated endoscopically with APC, where we applied the method that is used in tailoring of self-expandable metallic biliary stents.
Endoscopic management and follow-up of bleeding Dieulafoy’s lesions
Authors: B. Aabdi, K. Ghizlane, A. Zazour, H. Koulali, O. Elmqaddem, Z. Ismaili
Journal: Endoscopy (2024)

Aims Dieulafoy's lesion (DL), defined as a vascular abnormality of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, is a rare cause of active, recurrent, and unexplained gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. DL may be responsible for 1% to 2% of all acute GI hemorrhage and up to 6% of non-variceal GI bleeding. Stomach, is by far the most common site of DL. We investigate retrospectively the clinical and endoscopic features and we review the effectiveness of endoscopic management of bleeding DLs. We also aimed to identify recurrence and mortality rate in our endoscopic unit.

Authors: A. Gómez Gómez, L. Madrigal Bayonas, C. Espuche Jiménez, F. J. Sánchez Roncero, C. Bógalo Romero, M. Romero Martínez, F. Alberca De Las Parras
Journal: Endoscopy (2024)

Abstract Text We report the case of a 75-year-old woman with acquired von Willebrand disease (AVWD) who presented with a recurrent upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Gastroscopy revealed a Dieulafoy's lesion in the duodenal bulb and, in front of it, a Forrest IB ulcer. Both lesions were treated with adrenaline injection and thermal coagulation using haemostasis forceps, observing a decrease in haemoglobin in the next days with no new bleeding episodes. An abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan showed a duodenal haematoma in contact with the treated area, with a prior CT scan days before the endoscopy with no presence of it.
An atypical treatment for Buried Bumper Syndrome
Authors: M. A. Cozma, A. Berger, M. Saunier, F. Zerbib
Journal: Endoscopy (2024)

Abstract Text Introduction: Buried Bumper Syndrome (BBS) is defined as the migration of the internal bumper of a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) between the gastric and the abdominal wall. Case presentation: We present the case of a 62-year-old male with a PEG tube placement by per-oral pull technique. After repeated attempts of self-removal, the PEG tube was retrieved by "cut and push" method. Afterwards, the patient presented with percutaneous gastric fluid discharge and periorificial ulceration. The CT scan showed a foreign body in the anterior gastric wall. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) was the treatment of choice. The exposed buried bumper was removed by a rat tooth forceps. Conclusion: ESD is a safe and less invasive alternative, with lower complication rates and a shorter recovery time. [1] [2] [3] [4]

Authors: N. Aslam, J. Gertner, M. Joshua, D. Margaret, M. Boz, D. Khaled, M. Banks, D. Graham, Q. Yassar, S. Rami, V. Sehgal
Journal: Endoscopy (2024)

Abstract Text Anastomotic leaks can contribute to prolonged length of stay and significant morbidity for surgical patients. Smaller leaks tend to respond well to conservative measures in the form of cessation of oral intake and treatment with intravenous antibiotics. We present a case of a 58 year old female that had a persistent post gastrectomy anastomotic leak failing to heal through conservative measures. Index endoscopic assessment revealed an inadvertently placed surgical drain in the oesophagus which was contributing to the ongoing anastomotic leak. This was removed and the associated defect was covered and treated using a VACstent. Following VACstent removal at day 7 the leak had successfully healed which was confirmed both endoscopically and radiographically. No stent exchange was needed. The patient was discharged 7 days following VACstent removal.
