AbstractAbstract PDFSupplementary MaterialPubReaderePub
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided hepaticogastrostomy (HGS) is widely performed not only as an alternative to transpapillary biliary drainage, but also as primary drainage for malignant biliary obstruction. For anatomical reasons, this technique carries an unavoidable risk of mispuncturing intrahepatic vessels. We report a technique for troubleshooting EUS-guided portal vein coiling to prevent bleeding from the intrahepatic portal vein after mispuncture during interventional EUS. EUS-HGS was planned for a 59-year-old male patient with unresectable pancreatic cancer. The dilated bile duct (lumen diameter, 2.8 mm) was punctured with a 19-gauge needle, and a guidewire was inserted. After bougie dilation, the guidewire was found to be inside the intrahepatic portal vein. Embolizing coils were placed to prevent bleeding. Embolization coils were successfully inserted under stabilization of the catheter using a double-lumen cannula with a guidewire. Following these procedures, the patient was asymptomatic. Computed tomography performed the next day revealed no complications.

Biliary Self-Expandable Metal Stent Could Be Recommended as a First Treatment Modality for Immediate Refractory Post-Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography Bleeding
Sun Young Moon, Jun Heo, Min Kyu Jung, Chang Min Cho
Clin Endosc 2022;55(1):128-135.   Published online May 25, 2021
DOI: https://doi.org/10.5946/ce.2021.057
AbstractAbstract PDFPubReaderePub
Background
/Aims: Recent reports suggest that the biliary self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) is highly effective for maintaining hemostasis when endoscopic hemostasis fails in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)-related bleeding. We compared whether temporary SEMS offers better efficacy than angioembolization for refractory immediate ERCP-related bleeding.
Methods
Patients who underwent SEMS placement or underwent angioembolization for bleeding control in refractory immediate ERCP-related bleeding were included in the retrospective analysis. We evaluated the hemostasis success rate, severity of bleeding, change in hemoglobin levels, amount of transfusion, and delay to the start of hemostasis.
Results
A total of 27 patients with SEMS and 13 patients who underwent angioembolization were enrolled. More transfusions were needed in the angioembolization group (1.0±1.4 units vs. 2.5±2.0 units; p=0.034). SEMS failure was successfully rescued by angioembolization. The partially covered SEMS (n=23, 85.1%) was generally used, and the median stent-indwelling time was 4 days. The mean delay to the start of angioembolization was 95.2±142.9 (range, 9–491) min.
Conclusions
Temporary SEMS had similar results to those of angioembolization (96.3% vs. 92.3%; p=0.588). Immediate SEMS insertion is considered a bridge treatment modality for immediate refractory ERCP-related bleeding. Angioembolization still has a role as rescue therapy when SEMS does not work effectively.

Case Report
A Rare Case of Coil Migration into the Duodenum after Embolization of a Right Colic Artery Pseudoaneurysm
Jeongmin Choi, Young Moon Kim
Clin Endosc 2021;54(6):920-923.   Published online January 12, 2021
DOI: https://doi.org/10.5946/ce.2020.228
AbstractAbstract PDFPubReaderePub
Transcatheter arterial embolization is a safe and effective treatment for visceral artery aneurysms; nevertheless, some complications can occur. Coil migration to other organs after embolization is extremely rare, and only 16 cases have been reported previously. We report a rare case of coil migration to the duodenal lumen after embolization of a right colic artery pseudoaneurysm. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of coil migration after a right colic artery embolization. The patient exhibited no symptoms and was treated conservatively without any intervention. Some previous reports have demonstrated spontaneous coil passage and successful conservative management. Our case supports conservative treatment as the primary treatment for asymptomatic patients. Clinicians should assess the risks and benefits of coil removal in asymptomatic patients before performing any intervention.

Endoscopic Management of Peptic Ulcer Bleeding: Recent Advances
Philip WY Chiu
Clin Endosc 2019;52(5):416-418.   Published online August 13, 2019
DOI: https://doi.org/10.5946/ce.2018.182
AbstractAbstract PDFPubReaderePub
Bleeding peptic ulcers remained as one of the commonest causes of hospitalization worldwide. While endoscopic hemostasis serves as primary treatment for bleeding ulcers, rebleeding after endoscopic hemostasis becomes more and more difficult to manage as patients are usually poor surgical candidates with multiple comorbidities. Recent advances in management of bleeding peptic ulcers aimed to further reduce the rate of rebleeding through—(1) identification of high risk patients for rebleeding and mortality; (2) improvement in primary endoscopic hemostasis and; (3) prophylactic angiographic embolization of major arteries. The technique and clinical evidences for these approaches will be reviewed in the current article.

Clin Endosc 2019;52(6):612-615.   Published online May 20, 2019

AbstractAbstract PDFPubReaderePub
Among gastrointestinal emergencies, acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding remains a challenging clinical problem owing to significant patient morbidity and costs involved in management. Endoscopic hemostatic therapy is the mainstay of treatment and decreases the incidence of re-bleeding, the need for surgery, morbidity, and mortality. However, in 8%–15% of patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding, endoscopic hemostatic therapy does not successfully control bleeding. Trans-arterial coil embolization is an effective alternative treatment for endoscopic hemostatic failure; however, this procedure can induce adverse outcomes, such as non-target vessel occlusion, vessel dissection and perforation, and coil migration. Coil migration is rare but causes severe complications, such as re-bleeding and bowel ischemia. However, in most cases, coil migration is local and involves spontaneous healing without serious complications. Here, we report the case of a patient who underwent trans-arterial coil embolization of the gastroduodenal artery with the purpose of controlling massive duodenal bleeding, resulting in a fatal outcome caused by coil migration.

Novel Therapeutic Strategies in the Management of Non-Variceal Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding
Ari Garber, Sunguk Jang
Clin Endosc 2016;49(5):421-424.   Published online September 30, 2016
DOI: https://doi.org/10.5946/ce.2016.110
AbstractAbstract PDFPubReaderePub
Non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding, the most common etiology of which is peptic ulcer disease, remains a persistent challenge despite a reduction in both its incidence and mortality. Both pharmacologic and endoscopic techniques have been developed to achieve hemostasis, with varying degrees of success. Among the pharmacologic therapies, proton pump inhibitors remain the mainstay of treatment, as they reduce the risk of rebleeding and requirement for recurrent endoscopic evaluation. Tranexamic acid, a derivative of the amino acid lysine, is an antifibrinolytic agent whose role requires further investigation before application. Endoscopically delivered pharmacotherapy, including Hemospray (Cook Medical), EndoClot (EndoClot Plus Inc.), and Ankaferd Blood Stopper (Ankaferd Health Products), in addition to standard epinephrine, show promise in this regard, although their mechanisms of action require further investigation. Non-pharmacologic endoscopic techniques use one of the following two methods to achieve hemostasis: ablation or mechanical tamponade, which may involve using endoscopic clips, cautery, argon plasma coagulation, over-the-scope clipping devices, radiofrequency ablation, and cryotherapy. This review aimed to highlight these novel and fundamental hemostatic strategies and the research supporting their efficacy.

AbstractAbstract PDFPubReaderePub

Splenic artery pseudoaneurysms can be caused by pancreatitis, trauma, or operation. Traditionally, the condition has been managed through surgery; however, nowadays, transcatheter arterial embolization is performed safely and effectively. Nevertheless, several complications of pseudoaneurysm embolization have been reported, including coil migration. Herein, we report a case of migration of the coil into the jejunal lumen after transcatheter arterial embolization of a splenic artery pseudoaneurysm. The migrated coil was successfully removed by performing endoscopic intervention.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5946/ce.2013.46.5.486
AbstractAbstract PDFPubReaderePub

Although endoscopic hemostasis remains initial treatment modality for nonvariceal gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, severe bleeding despite endoscopic management occurs in 5% to 10% of the patients, requiring surgery or transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE). TAE is now considered the first-line therapy for massive GI bleeding refractory to endoscopic management. GI endoscopists need to be familiar with indications, principles, outcomes, and complications of TAE, as well as embolic materials available.

AbstractAbstract PDF
Dieulafoy's lesions are characterized by a single large tortuous arteriole in the submucosa, and this arteriole does not undergo normal branching. These lesions are an uncommon cause of massive, sometimes fatal gastrointestinal bleeding; this had been reported to be the cause of 0.3∼1.5% of the cases of major gastrointestinal bleeding. The lesions mainly occur in the proximal stomach, but they may occur in all parts of the gastrointestinal tract, including the small bowel, colon and rectum. Endoscopy is a common method for the diagnosis and treatment of Dieulafoy's lesions. However, in the case of a high risk lesion, angiography, laparoscopy or laparotomy can be performed instead. We experienced a rare case of bleeding from a Dieulafoy's lesion with pseudoaneurysm in the sigmoid colon. Angiography with embolization was performed, but the patient expired due to rebleeding. We report on this case along with a review of the relevant literature. (Korean J Gastrointest Endosc 2010;41:303-307)

AbstractAbstract PDF
Arterial bleeding after pancreaticoduodenectomy is a very serious complication with high mortality. Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment is essential. In particular, early detection and immediate embolization can be effectively used for the delayed massive bleeding that occurs from a pseudoaneurysmal rupture. However, sometimes intermittent bleeding or a vessel spasm can cause the bleeding focus to remain unidentified in spite of repeated angiography. We experienced a case of successful embolization with superselection by endoscopic hemoclipping in a patient who underwent pylorus preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy, and the patient's bleeding focus was not found after repeated angiography. Endoscopic hemoclip application can be useful for localizing a pseudoaneurysmal rupture in patients with pancreaticoduodenectomy. (Korean J Gastrointest Endosc 2010;41:31-35)

AbstractAbstract PDF
Splenic arterial pseudoaneurysm is an uncommon life-threatening complication of acute and chronic pancreatitis. Pseudoaneurysm can lead to massive bleeding into the abdominal cavity and the retroperitoneum. Less commonly, it may rupture directly into the stomach, small bowel or pancreatic duct and may present as an acute gastrointestinal hemorrhage. It can be diagnosed by various imaging modalities including computerized tomography, ultrasound and angiography. Percutaneous transvascular embolization of the pseudoaneurysm is one of the alternative treatment methods. Here we present a case of splenic arterial pseudoaneurysmal rupture misrecognized as bleeding from a gastric submucosal tumor in patient with hematemesis. We also review the literature.

AbstractAbstract PDF
Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is an effective method for delivering enteral nutrition to patients with dysphagia, cerebrovascular accidents, Parkinsonnism, dementia, and head and neck cancer. PEG is generally regarded as safe and it is associated with low risks of morbidity and mortality. The complications of the PEG are known to be mostly minor and they include wound infection, gastric leakage, bleeding, ileus, pneumoperitoneum and aspiration pneumonia. We recently experienced a ruptured pseudoaneurysm of the left gastric artery, which was occurred as a complication during PEG insertion in a 73-year-old female. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report in Korea about successful angiographic embolization for a ruptured pseudoaneurysm of the left gastric artery and this was associated with a PEG procedure.

AbstractAbstract PDF
The jaundice in hepatocellular carcinoma patient can be found when the tumor progresses or hepatic function deteriorates. Rarely, it can be occurred when the bile duct is obstructed. The main reason of obstructive jaundice in hepatocellular carcinoma is bile duct invasion of tumor, tumor thrombus, blood clot of hemobilia and direct bile compression by tumor or metastatic lymph node. Although the tumor thrombi among them is difficult to think, prompt diagnosis and treatment should be done because the symptom and prognosis can be improved by removal of the tumor thrombus. We experienced a case of hepatocellular carcinoma patient associated with obstructive jaundice caused by tumor thrombus after transarterial chemoembolization (TACE). The tumor thrombus was removed by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and confirmed as degenerated hepatocellular carcinoma cell. (Korean J Gastrointest Endosc 2009;38:299-302)

AbstractAbstract PDF
Finding a foreign body in the common bile duct (CBD) is very rare. Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) has been widely used for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma and metastatic liver tumors, and especially when the tumors are not surgically resectable. We experienced a patient with a CBD foreign body 47 days after performing TACE for single hepatic metastasis of adrenal cortical carcinoma. The foreign body in the common bile duct was high attenuated on the pre-enhanced computed tomography (CT) and it was not observed on the previous CT. We successfully extracted it via a basket after performing endoscopic sphincterotomy; this foreign body was dark black color, flexible and smooth. It was not observed on the follow-up CT scan after one month. The foreign body in the common bile duct was tumor tissue that contained lipiodol and it was near the bile duct. We report here on a rare case of a foreign body in the common bile duct, and it was caused by lipiodol after performing TACE. (Korean J Gastrointest Endosc 2008;37:156-159)

AbstractAbstract PDF
Hemobilia is a cause of obscure gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Most cases have an iatrogenic or traumatic origin but cases of hemobilia with non-traumatic causes are rare. The non-traumatic causes of hemobilia are inflammation, gallstones, neoplasm and vascular lesions. Currently, various therapeutic options are available for hemobilia, and transarterial embolization is now the first line of intervention used to stop the bleeding of hemobilia, which shows a high success rate of approximately 80% to 100% with a lower morbidity and mortality rate than with surgery. We report a rare case of non-traumatic hemobilia caused by a pseudoaneurysm of the hepatic artery that was successfully treated with transarterial embolization.

AbstractAbstract PDF
Pancreatic pseudocyst is a well-known complication of pancreatitis. However spontaneous perforation and/or fistularization is rare. Perforations into the free peritoneal cavity, stomach, duodenum, colon, portal vein, pleural cavity, and through the abdominal wall have been reported. Rupture of pseudoaneurysm or bleeding pseudocyst following pancreatitis is a severe complication that can lead to massive gastrointestinal bleeding. Especially, rupture of a bleeding pseudocyst into the stomach combined with splenic artery pesudoaneurysm is very rare. We experienced a case of massive bleeding from pancreatic pseudocyst with pseudoaneurysmal rupture into the stomach which was controlled nonoperatively by splenic artery coil embolization and conservative treatment. We report the case with the literatures review. (Korean J Gastrointest Endosc 2005;31:273⁣277)

AbstractAbstract PDF
Endoscopy has been the method of choice for the initial diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal bleeding. However, in the case of difficult localization or endoscopic failure, angiographic or surgical alternative may be recommended. The role of angiography has been emphasized recently to control upper GI bleeding. We experienced a case with deep ulcer displaying exposed vessel along the duodenal bulb, which imposed serious rebleeding risk. Although, active bleeding was controlled by the epinephrine injections in that patient, rebleeding risk was still high. So the patient underwent emergency angiography with embolization of the pancreaticoduodenal artery and gastroduodenal artery using multiple microcoils. Follow-up endoscopic examinations showed a coil protruding into the lumen from the ulcer bed, and the exposed coil at the ulcer base was completely by the regenerated epithelium three months later. Here in, we describe the rare case of a endodcopically exposed coil after embolization for bleeding duodenal ulcer which is the first case ever reported in Korea.

AbstractAbstract PDF
Background
/Aims: Transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) has been increasingly used in the treatment of patients with gastrointestinal bleeding due to improved catheter and guidewire technologies and emergence of safer embolization materials. We evaluated the clinical characteristics of patients in whom TAE was performed and the outcome of the treatment. Methods: Eleven patients (M:F=9:2, mean age=60.6 years) underwent TAE between April 2001 and August 2002. Causes of bleeding were gastric ulcer in 9 cases and duodenal ulcer in 2 cases. Seven patients had comorbid diseases, but 4 patients did not. Results: Successful TAE without rebleeding was achieved in 10 of 11 patients (90.9%). One patient failed to respond to TAE and died due to multiorgan failure. Another patient died due to other causes despite a successful TAE. There were no TAE-related complications. Conclusions: TAE is a safe and effective modality in the treatment of patients with peptic ulcer bleeding who do not respond to endoscopic hemostasis. Thus, TAE seems to be included in the treatment algorithm of peptic ulcer bleeding regardless of surgical risks of patients and be placed before surgery, but prospective randomized studies are needed.

증례 / 담도경을 통한 알코올 주입술이 유용했던 활달형 간세포암 ( Icteric Type Hepatocelluar Carcinoma for Which Cholangioscopic Ethanol Injection Was Effective )
Korean J Gastrointest Endosc 2001;22(3):187-191.   Published online November 30, 2000
AbstractAbstract PDF
Hepatocellular carcinoma often invades the portal or hepatic veins, but rarely proliferates in the bile duct. Since curative resection is rarely possible in these cases, conservative therapy has been the sole modality. Herein, we report a case of icteric type hepatocellular carcinoma for which cholangioscopic ethanol injection was effective. By only transcatheter arterial chemoembolization in this patient, obstructive jaundice and intermittent cholangitis were not relieved. Therefore, we performed ethanol injection into the intraductal hepatoma mass under percutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopic guidance. As a result of therapy, he had been well without jaundice and cholangitis for 9 months until die. (Korean J Gastrointest Endosc 2001;22:187 - 191)
