Endoscopic ultrasonography-guided coil embolization and cyanoacrylate injection versus cyanoacrylate injection alone for gastric varices: a randomized comparative study

Ashok Jhajharia et al.

Background Bleeding from gastric varices is life-threatening, with significant rebleeding risk despite standard cyanoacrylate glue injection therapy. Our aim was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS)-guided coil embolization with cyanoacrylate injection (Coil+CYA) compared with EUS-guided cyanoacrylate injection alone (CYA) for the treatment of gastric varices.

Environmental footprint and material composition comparison of single-use and reusable duodenoscopes

Pedro López-Muñoz et al.

Background Infection outbreaks associated with contaminated reusable duodenoscopes (RUDs) have induced the development of novel single-use duodenoscopes (SUDs). This study aimed to analyze the material composition and life cycle assessment (LCA) of RUDs and SUDs to assess the sustainability of global and partial SUD implementation.

Diagnostic work-up of bile duct strictures: European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) Guideline

Antonio Facciorusso et al.

A biliary stricture or bile duct stricture is defined as a narrowing or blockage of either the intrahepatic and/or extrahepatic biliary system, with concomitant upstream biliary duct dilatation, which impedes the antegrade flow of bile from the liver to the intestine. Symptomatic biliary strictures commonly present with jaundice (with/without cholangitis) and infrequently with liver abscess or secondary biliary cirrhosis. The most common benign etiology is iatrogenic injury, but it is determining the presence or absence of underlying malignancy that presents a diagnostic challenge for any clinician, as it has implications for oncologic and surgical decision-making.
