Factors Influencing Performance of Cholangioscopy-Guided Lithotripsy Including ...

Background: Peroral cholangioscopy (POC)-guided lithotripsy is an effective treatment for difficult biliary stones. A clear definition of factors associated with the efficacy of POC-guided lithotripsy in one session and the performance of electrohydraulic lithotripsy (EHL) and laser lithotripsy (LL) have not clearly emerged. Methods: This was a non-randomized prospective multicenter study of all consecutive pat...

The impact and evolution of acute-on-chronic liver failure in decompensated cir...

Endoscopy Timing in Patients with Acute Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: The role of very early (≤12 hours) endoscopy in nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding is controversial. We aimed to compare results of very early and early (12-24 hours) endoscopy in patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding demonstrating low-risk versus high-risk features and nonvariceal versus variceal bleeding. METHODS: : This retrospective study included patients with nonvariceal ...
