Antireflux mucosectomy for gastroesophageal reflux disease: efficacy and the mechanism of action

Thijs Kuipers et al.

Background Previous studies suggested that antireflux mucosectomy (ARMS) is effective in reducing reflux symptoms and total acid exposure, although the mechanism is unknown. Our objective was to investigate the effect of ARMS on reflux parameters and its mechanism of action.

Biflanged metal stents versus plastic stents for endoscopic ultrasound-guided drainage of walled-off necrosis: a randomized controlled trial

Krithi Krishna Koduri et al.

Background Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided drainage of walled-off necrosis (WON) using either plastic or metal stents is the mainstay of WON management. Our single-center randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluate the efficacy of biflanged metal stents (BFMSs) and plastic stents for WON drainage.

Sedation practices in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy: European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) survey

Konstantinos Triantafyllou et al.

The provision of moderate sedation for gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopic procedures is considered the standard of care in most of the world. Endoscopic procedural sedation increases patient compliance, enhances satisfaction for both the patient and the endoscopist, and facilitates procedural safety and effectiveness. Moreover, with the increasing complexity of interventional endoscopic procedures, deeper sedation and even general anesthesia are often required. However, the provision of sedation in GI endoscopy presents several limitations, including prolonged patient recovery times, increased healthcare costs, and greater risks of cardiopulmonary adverse events (AEs). Furthermore, there is ongoing debate regarding who should legitimately be administering endoscopic procedural sedation, particularly propofol and other novel sedative agents. In tandem, there is varied practice in endoscopists’ adherence to guidelines for sedation administration, patients’ pre-procedural risk stratification, and the management of sedation-related AEs. In addition, the provision of training in procedural sedation remains nonstandardized and there is a paucity of data on cost-effective approaches to enhance resource use in relation to sedation practices.
