Canena,Jorge; Lopes,Luís; Fernandes,João; Alexandrino,Gonçalo; Lourenço,Luís; Libânio,Diogo; Horta,David; Giestas,Sílvia; Reis,JorgeBackground and Aims: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography is the preferred strategy for the management of biliary and pancreatic duct stones. However, difficult stones occur, and electrohydraulic (EHL) and laser lithotripsy (LL) have emerged as treatment modalities for ductal clearance. Recently, single-operator cholangioscopy was introduced, permitting the routine use of these techniques. We aimed to...

Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Biliary Drainage in Two Patients with Difficult Bi...
Libânio,Diogo; Giestas,Sílvia; Martinez-Ares,David; Ferreira,Frederico; Canena,Jorge; Certo,Manuela; Lopes,LuísIntroduction: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography is the method of choice for biliary drainage, although in some cases standard biliary access is difficult or even impossible. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided endoluminal procedures are an alternative in these cases, although experience with these techniques is still limited. Clinical Case: We present two cases of successful EUS-guided biliary drain...

Ampullary Metastasis From Breast Cancer: A Rare Cause of Obstructive Jaundice
Giestas,Sílvia; Lopes,Sandra; Souto,Paulo; Agostinho,Cláudia; Camacho,Ernestina; Cipriano,Maria; Sofia,CarlosBreast cancer is the most common tumor in women and the first cause of death for malignancy in the female. Bile ducts are not among the common sites of metastasis from breast cancer. Few cases of obstructive jaundice due to metastatic breast cancer have been described in the literature and they mostly resulted from widespread liver metastases that eventually involved the bile ducts. We report an exceptional cas...
