Authors: S. Zellmer, D. Rauber, A. Probst, T. Weber, G. Braun, C. Römmele, S. Nagl, E. Schnoy, H. Messmann, A. Ebigbo, C. Palm
Journal: Endoscopy (2024)

Aims Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreaticography (ERCP) is the gold standard in the diagnosis as well as treatment of diseases of the pancreatobiliary tract. However, it is technically complex and has a relatively high complication rate. In particular, cannulation of the papillary ostium remains challenging. The aim of this study is to examine whether a deep-learning algorithm can be used to detect the major duodenal papilla and in particular the papillary ostium reliably and could therefore be a valuable tool for inexperienced endoscopists, particularly in training situation.

The current standard for evaluating inflammation are validated scores like Lewis score (LS), Capsule Endoscopy Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CECDAI) and ELIAKIM. Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have made it possible to automatically select the most relevant frames in capsule endoscopy. In this study, our objective was to develop an automated scoring system using CE images to objectively grade inflammation.
EUS-guided gastroenterostomy to treat refractory gastroparesis: preliminary results of the first german experience
Authors: M. Heilmaier, D. Schulz, J. Ulrich, J. R. Wießner, R. Abbassi, M. Abdelhafez
Journal: Endoscopy (2024)

Aims Gastroparesis is a motility disorder of the stomach characterized by a delayed emptying of food into the small bowel in the absence of mechanical obstruction. Medical treatment is difficult and symptoms such as epigastric pain, nausea and vomiting can lead to a significantly reduced quality of life. As endosonographic-guided gastroenterostomy facilitates gastric emptying in patients with gastric outlet obstruction and has proven to be a save and effective in numerous clinical trials, it might also be a viable option to treat refractory gastroparesis. The aim of the study was to report the first experience with that approach and to evaluate its feasibility and efficacy.

Authors: I. Dragomir, C. Pojoga, C. Hagiu, V. Rednic, R. I. Orzan, P. Fischer, O. Nicoara-Farcau, H. Stefanescu, B. Procopet, A. Seicean
Journal: Endoscopy (2024)

Aims Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has emerged as a new tool in assessing portal hypertension (PH). EUS portal pressure gradient (EUS-PPG) was described in few studies using a compact manometer, but the use of a pressure transducer connected to a pressure measurement monitor was previously described in a very small number of patients. The comparative assessment of portal pressure gradient measured by EUS and tranjugular route has not been done before. Our study aimed to compare the values of EUS-PPG and transjugular measurements (hepatic vein pressure gradient – HVPG, PPG) in patients with portal hypertension.

Authors: D. Muhovic, K. Jankovic, N. Zdravkovic, B. Smolovic, S. Djuranovic
Journal: Endoscopy (2024)

Aims Although the incidence of nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding (NVUGIB) has been decreasing, the mortality rate is still significant and accounts up to 10% of cases. The increasing importance in the pathogenesis of the GI bleeding is the use of ulcerogenic medications. The study was aimed to asses the frequency of adverse events (AE) and their association with individual groups of ulcerogenic drugs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs – NSAIDs, acetylsalicylic acid – ASA, oral anticoagulants – OAC, new oral anticoagulants – NOAC, antiplatelet drugs – APD, corticosteroids – CS, and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors SSRI) in patients with NVUGIB.

Authors: P. Stathopoulos, M. Zumblick, A. Rinke, T. M. Gress, C. Denkert, U. W. Denzer
Journal: Endoscopy (2024)

Aims Rectal neuroendocrine tumors (rNET) grow almost always in the submucosal layer and conventional resection methods, such as forceps or snare resection with or without prior lifting, are associated with incomplete resection rates (R1) of up to 9%. Modified-EMR and ESD have already shown better results in retrospective studies. However, there are still limited data about eFTR for rNETs.
Duodenal adenoma management: the underwater revolution
Authors: T. Schepis, M. F. Chiappetta, G. L. Papparella, F. Barbaro, G. Costamagna, C. Spada
Journal: Endoscopy (2024)

Abstract Text A 58 years-old lady underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy for dyspepsia and a 25mm duodenal lesion was detected in DII. At endoscopic evaluation (both white light and virtual chromoendoscopy) no signs of deep invasion were detected, however biopsies reported duodenal adenoma with high-grade dysplasia, so she was referred to our endoscopy unit for en-bloc resection. Considering the lesion size, an underwater endoscopic mucosectomy was used to obtain a successful en-bloc resection. A minor bleeding occurred at the end of the resection, successfully managed with monopolar forceps. A complete closure of the defect was achieved with 5 through the scope clips. The clinical course was uneventful and duodenal adenoma with high-grade dysplasia and free deep and lateral margins was confirmed.

Authors: C. Konstantakis, C. Sotiropoulos, P. Mantzios, G. Geramoutsos, K. Thomopoulos
Journal: Endoscopy (2024)

Abstract Text Mirizzi syndrome (MS) is an uncommon manifestation of gallstone disease. Pre-operative diagnosis and treatment (traditionally considered surgical) is challenging. We present a case-series of endoscopic treatment of this condition with single operator cholangioscopy and electrohydraulic lithotripsy. Case 1: 53y patient – past cholecystectomy – type 2 Mirizzi. Case 2: 27y patient – past cholecystectomy – type 4 Mirizzi. Case 3: 69y patient – - past cholecystectomy – type 4 Mirizzi. Endoscopic management of different Mirizzi types, even in the post-cholecystectomy setting, seems to be feasible, effective and safe with the use of lithotripsy. These patients may benefit as the surgical treatment of this condition is complex and associated with high risk of complications. [1] [2] [3] [4]
Safety and technical feasibility of right adrenal glands Endoscopic Ultrasound Fine-Needle Aspiration Biopsy in staging and prognosis of oncological patients
Authors: M. Casadio, D. Orlando, M. Diodoro, E. Venti, D. Forcella, D. Assisi
Journal: Endoscopy (2024)

Aims In patients diagnosed with cancer, timely identification of distant metastases is crucial for optimal staging and prognosis. Adrenal gland metastases originated mainly from lung (39%), breast (35%) and GI tract, pancreas and kidney. In recent years, role of ultrasound endoscopy biopsy (EUS-FNA/B) for the detection of metastases of the adrenal gland has acquired greater importance. However, EUS biopsy of the right adrenal gland is more challenging due to its position and sub-optimal visualization. The diagnostic yield and technical feasibility of EUS FNA/B of right adrenal gland lesions has not been systematically defined. In this study we evaluated the accuracy and safety of EUS-FNA/B in the diagnosis of right adrenal gland masses suspected to be metastases.

Authors: C. N. Frederiks, L. Boer, B. Gloudemans, L. Alvarez Herrero, J. Bergman, R. Pouw, B. Weusten
Journal: Endoscopy (2024)

Aims Although endoscopic resection (ER) is recommended as first-choice treatment for early esophageal neoplasia, patients with esophageal varices are considered a high risk group due to an increased bleeding risk. However, since most of these patients are precluded from major esophageal surgery due to portal hypertension, endoscopic therapy may be the only treatment option in these patients. This retrospective, multicenter study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of endoscopic therapy of early esophageal neoplasia in this specific patient category.
