Acute Pancreatitis and Cholangitis due to Biliary Parasites: A Snailing Endosco...

Standard Cannulation versus Fistulotomy for Biliary Access in Endoscopic Retrog...

Abstract Introduction: To access the common bile duct in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), needle-knife fistulotomy (NKF) can be associated with a shorter sphincterotomy compared to standard cannulation. We aimed to compare the success and safety of NKF versus standard cannulation in the treatment of choledocholithiasis. Methods: A cohort of 379 naïve patients with choledocholithiasis who un...

Side-Viewing Duodenoscope versus Forward-Viewing Gastroscope for Endoscopic Ret...

Abstract Introduction: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatog-raphy (ERCP) in patients with Billroth II gastrectomy is still a challenging procedure. The optimal approach, namely the type of endoscope and sphincter management, has yet to be defined. Aim : To compare the efficacy and safety of forward-viewing gastroscope and the side-viewing duodenoscope in ERCP of patients with Billroth II gastrectomy. Metho...

Adherence to Southern European Atlantic Diet and physical fitness on the athero...

Abstract: We sought (i) to evaluate the associations of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), muscular fitness (MF) and Southern European Atlantic Diet (SEADiet) with atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) and (ii) to investigate de combined association of MF, CRF and SEADiet on AIP in adolescents. A cross-sectional school-based study was conducted on 493 adolescents (285 girls and 208 boys) aged 15-18 years, from the Po...

ERCP in Portugal: A Wide Survey on the Prevention of Post-ERCP Pancreatitis and...

Background/Aims: Recently the European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy delivered guidelines on the prevention of post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography pancreatitis (PEP) and on the papillary cannulation and sphincterotomy techniques at endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). There are no data concerning current practices in Portugal. The aim of this study was to capture practi...

Outcomes of Single-Operator Cholangioscopy-Guided Lithotripsy in Patients with ...

Background 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...
