Quality indicators of endoscopic ultrasound in the pancreatobiliary system: a brief review of current guidelines: Sung Yong Han, Hyung Ku Chon, Seong-Hun Kim, Sang Hyub Lee, The Research Group for Endoscopic Ultrasound in Korean Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy; Clin Endosc 2024;57(2):158-163.

Since its development, the use of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) in the pancreas and the biliary tract has become increasingly important. The accuracy of EUS varies depending on the experience of the endoscopist. Hence, quality control measures using appropriate indicators are required to reduce these variations. American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy and European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy have announced the EUS quality indicators. Here, we reviewed the quality indicators of the EUS procedure in the current published guidelines.

Abstract PDF PubReader ePub

Common bile duct (CBD) stones are prevalent in 11% to 21% of patients with gallstones and can cause various clinical manifestations, from biliary colic to biliary sepsis. The treatment of choice is endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, but approximately 5% to 10% of CBD stones are difficult to remove using these conventional endoscopic methods. Although percutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopy and lithotripsy can be used as an alternative, it can be technically demanding and risky if the intrahepatic duct is not dilated. We report a case of a large CBD stone that was successfully removed using percutaneous transcholecystic cholangioscopy.

Survival Benefit of Intraductal Radiofrequency Ablation for Malignant Biliary Obstruction: A Systematic Review with Meta-Analysis: Byung Hyo Cha, Myoung-Jin Jang, Sang Hyub Lee; Clin Endosc 2021;54(1):100-106. Published online January 15, 2021; DOI: https://doi.org/10.5946/ce.2020.254

Background
/Aims: Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a rare but aggressive disease with a poor survival. Recent trials have shown improved survival with intraductal radiofrequency ablation (RFA) therapy. We performed a systematic review with meta-analysis to determine the survival benefit of endoscopic RFA for unresectable extrahepatic CCA with malignant biliary obstruction (MBO).
Methods
A systematic search from 1970 to 2020 was performed in MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials. gov. We selected eligible studies reporting relative risks, hazard ratios (HRs), or odds ratios, adjusted by controlling for confounding factors of survival rate and stent patency duration, among patients with extrahepatic CCA with MBO treated with RFA with stent insertion or stent insertion only.
Results
A total of eight trials (three randomized and five nonrandomized) with a total of 420 patients were included in the metaanalysis. Pooled overall survival analysis favored RFA treatment with stent insertion (HR, 0.47; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.34– 0.64; I²=47%; p=0.09); however, no significant difference was found in the duration of stent patency between the groups (HR, 0.79; 95% CI, 0.57–1.09; I²=7%; p=0.36).
Conclusions
RFA therapy with stent insertion may confer a survival benefit compared with stent insertion only in patients with CCA and MBO.

A remnant choledochal cyst after choledochal cyst excision treated with a lumen-apposing metal stent: a case report: Bo Kyung Kim, Jung Won Chun, Sang Hyub Lee, Ji Kon Ryu, Yong-Tae Kim, Woo Hyun Paik; Clin Endosc 2022;55(4):564-569. Published online January 8, 2020; DOI: https://doi.org/10.5946/ce.2019.176

Abstract PDF PubReader ePub

A lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) is a saddle-shaped stent with large flanges at both ends, thereby preventing stent migration and helping with approximation of the adjacent structures. We report the case of a 25-year-old female with remnant choledochal cyst which was successfully treated with LAMS after initial treatment failure with a plastic stent. Although complete excision of the cyst is the definite treatment of choledochal cysts, endoscopic ultrasonography-guided cystoduodenostomy can be considered in cases wherein surgery is not feasible and dysplasia is not present. LAMS may be preferred to plastic stents for effective resolution of remnant choledochal cyst and prevention of ascending infection.

Duodenal Stricture due to Necrotizing Pancreatitis following Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Ethanol Ablation of a Pancreatic Cyst: A Case Report: Jung Won Chun, Sang Hyub Lee, Jin Ho Choi, Woo Hyun Paik, Ji Kon Ryu, Yong-Tae Kim; Clin Endosc 2019;52(5):510-515. Published online July 4, 2019; DOI: https://doi.org/10.5946/ce.2018.191

Abstract PDF PubReader ePub

The frequency of incidental detection of pancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs) is increasing because of the frequent use of cross-sectional imaging. The appropriate treatment for PCLs is challenging, and endoscopic ultrasound-guided ablation for PCLs has been reported in several studies. Although the feasibility and efficacy of this therapeutic modality have been shown, the safety issues associated with the procedure are still a concern. We present a case of a 61-year-old man who underwent ultrasound-guided ethanol ablation for PCL and needed repeated endoscopic balloon dilatation for severe duodenal stricture caused by necrotizing pancreatitis after the cyst ablation therapy.

Future Perspectives on Endoscopic Ultrasonography-Guided Therapy for Pancreatic Neoplasm: Woo Hyun Paik, Sang Hyub Lee, Sunguk Jang; Clin Endosc 2018;51(3):229-234. Published online May 18, 2018; DOI: https://doi.org/10.5946/ce.2018.063

Abstract PDF PubReader ePub

Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS)-guided therapy with ethanol injection or catheter-based radiofrequency ablation for pancreatic neoplasm has been conducted as a potential alternate treatment modality for patients who are not eligible for surgery. On the basis of the limited number of studies available, EUS-guided ablation therapy with the aforementioned methods for small pancreatic neoplasms has demonstrated promising technical feasibility and safety profiles. To be considered as a legitimate alternative option to surgery, however, EUS-guided ablation therapy must provide a long-term efficacy profile along with the consensus among experts regarding its treatment parameter. This review focuses on the clinical issues and future perspectives of EUS-guided therapy for pancreatic neoplasm.

A 42-years-old woman had undergone operation for cholecochal cyst with gallbladder cancer 9 years ago. Pathology revealed a polypoid mass in the gallbladder with liver infiltration as poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. Computed tomography, magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography, and endoscopic ultrasound showed a newly developed suspected solid nodule in the peripheral portion of cystic lesion in the pancreas head. She underwent a pylorus preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy for the suspected mucinous cystic neoplasm of the pancreas. Pathology revealed poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. The remnant choledochal cyst had developed to cholangiocarcinoma, which mimicked cystic neoplasm of the pancreas.

Dual Therapy Trial Using Esomeprazole and Amoxicillin as Third-line Rescue Therapy for Helicobacter pylori Infection: Hyun Kyung Park, Dong Ho Lee, Seungchul Suh, Pyoung Ju Seo, Nayoung Kim, Sook-Hyang Jeong, Jin-Wook Kim, Jin-Hyeok Hwang, Young Soo Park, Sang Hyub Lee, Cheol Min Shin; Clin Endosc 2011;44(1):33-37. Published online September 30, 2011; DOI: https://doi.org/10.5946/ce.2011.44.1.33

Abstract PDF PubReader ePub

Background/Aims

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of dual therapy consisting of esomeprazole and amoxicillin as a rescue therapy for Helicobacter pylori infection.

Methods

From December 2009 to August 2010, 21 patients who experienced two consecutive eradication failures were included. They received esomeprazole (40 mg, b.i.d.) and amoxicillin (1,000 mg, b.i.d.) for 14 days as a third eradication regimen. Compliance and side effects were determined from an interview. H. pylori status was evaluated using the ¹³C urea breath test at least 6 weeks after treatment.

Results

The mean age of the patients was 59 years and included 52% males. Indications for treatment were functional dyspepsia (61.9%), peptic ulcer disease (28.6%), and gastric adenoma (9.5%). H. pylori was eradicated in 14 of 21 (66.7%) patients. Minor side effects were reported in three of the 21 patients (14.3%). These side effects consisted mainly of nausea and epigastric discomfort.

Conclusions

A 2-week course of dual therapy failed to show satisfactory results in third-line H. pylori eradication, but it was very safe and tolerable. Therefore, dual therapy constitutes an encouraging empirical strategy for the elderly and infirm patients with multiple previous eradication failures.
