The differential diagnosis and management of pancreatic cystic neoplasms Open
Oncological criteria as well as potential surgical risks and long-term sequelae must enter into the decision whether a pancreatic lesion should be resected. Exocrine and endocrine insufficiency are relevant and sometimes irreversible compl…

Differentiating Main-Duct IPMN from Chronic Pancreatitis Using Next-Generation Sequencing of Main Pancreatic Duct Fluid: A Pilot Study Open
Background: A dilated main pancreatic duct (MPD) ≥ 5 mm can be observed in main-duct IPMNs (MD-IPMN) and chronic pancreatitis (CP); however, distinguishing between the two differently treated diseases can be difficult. Cell-free (cf) DNA i…

An organoid platform reveals MEK-PARP co-targeting to enhance radiation response in rectal cancer Open
Locally advanced rectal cancer is usually treated by neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. However, tumor response rates to this treatment vary greatly. Thus, most patients do not reach a complete remission and have to undergo tumor resection. In…

P609 Artificial intelligence in the image recognition of pouchoscopies in patients who have undergone restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch anal-anastomosis (IPAA) Open
Background Restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch anastomosis (IPAA) has become the gold standard in the surgical treatment of ulcerative colitis, with pouchitis being the most common late complication of IPAA. Pouchoscopy is the dia…

Bipolar haemostatic forceps versus standard therapy by haemoclip + / − epinephrine injection as initial endoscopic treatment in active non-variceal upper GI bleeding: study protocol for a prospective, randomized multicentre trial (BeBop-Trial) Open
Background Patients with active nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding (NVUGIB) usually require urgent endoscopic treatment. Standard therapy (ST) using haemoclip + / − epinephrine injection is not always successful. Bipolar haemostat…

Percutaneous transhepatic or endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage in malignant distal bile duct obstruction using a self-expanding metal stent: Study protocol for a prospective European multicenter trial (PUMa trial) Open
Background Endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) was associated with better clinical success and a lower rate of adverse events (AEs) than fluoroscopy-guided percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) in recent sing…

Fast data-driven computation and intuitive visualization of fiber orientation uncertainty in 3D-polarized light imaging Open
In recent years, the microscopy technology referred to as Polarized Light Imaging (3D-PLI) has successfully been established to study the brain’s nerve fiber architecture at the micrometer scale. The myelinated axons of the nervous tissue …

Hemosuccus pancreaticus due to a small arterial pseudoaneurysm detected by CE-EUS and successfully treated with angiographic coiling (with video) Open
In hemosuccus pancreaticus,[1] potentially life-threatening bleeding into the pancreatic duct is usually caused by a large arterial pseudoaneurysm (average size of 52 mm) in chronic pancreatitis.[2] Bleeding from the papilla can be seen by…

Percutaneous transhepatic or endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage in malignant distal bile duct obstruction using a metal stent: study protocol for a prospective European multicentre trial (PUMa trial) Open
Abstract: Background Percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage [PTBD] is still universally used in patients with malignant distal bile duct obstruction when endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography [ERCP] is not successful or not po…

Gallbladder Cancer Presenting as Mirizzi Syndrome Complicated by Rapidly Evolving 23 rRNA Gene-Linezolid Resistance with Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcus Infection Resulting in Fatal Cholangial Sepsis Open
We describe the case of a 71-year-old woman who presented with obstructive jaundice and subhilar bile duct stenosis. MRI showed extensive cholecystolithiasis with an impacted bile stone in the cystic duct suggesting Mirizzi syndrome. Delay…

Preventive Transhepatic Tract Embolisation after Percutaneous Biliary Interventions: A Systematic Review Open
Preventive transhepatic tract embolisation (PTTE) after percutaneous biliary intervention (PBI) may reduce adverse events. The aim of this systematic review was to analyse feasibility, safety, and efficacy of PTTE with different embolic ag…
