Factors Influencing Performance of Cholangioscopy-Guided Lithotripsy Including ...
Alexandrino, G; Lopes, L; Fernandes, J; Moreira, M; Araújo, T; Campos, S; Loureiro, R; Figueiredo, L; Lourenço, LC; Horta, D; Bana e Costa, T; Costa, PBackground: 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...
A complex case of low-phospholipid-associated cholelithiasis syndrome.
Figueiredo, LM; Lourenço, L; Horta, D; Martins, AThe low-phospholipid-associated cholelithiasis (LPAC) syndrome is a form of symptomatic and recurring cholelithiasis occurring in young adults, associated with mutations in the ABCB4 gene. It is a clinical syndrome characterized by at least two of the following criteria: age at onset of biliary symptoms below 40 years, intrahepatic echogenic foci or microlithiasis and recurrence of biliary symptoms after cholec...
Endoscopic therapy in disconnected duct syndrome: re-connecting the duct.
Figueiredo, LM; Lourenço, L; Horta, D; Martins, AWe report the case of a 61-year-old male patient with a history of acute necrotizing biliary pancreatitis and a disconnected duct syndrome. He underwent transgastric drainage using a luminal apposing metal stent and transgastric necrosectomy with complete resolution of the necrosis. A pancreatic fistula was identified during pancreatography and a pancreatic plastic stent was placed in order to manage the discon...

Cardoso, M; Alexandrino, G; Carvalho E Branco J2, Anapaz V2, Carvalho R2, Horta D2, Martins A2.; Branco, J; Anapaz, V; Carvalho, R; Horta, D; Martins, AAcute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is a dynamic syndrome that should be assessed repeatedly. An algorithm for risk stratification in decompensated cirrhosis was recently proposed by the EASL-CLIF (European Association for the Study of the Liver-Chronic Liver Failure) Consortium. AIM: To validate the EASL-CLIF Consortium scores in patients with and without ACLF. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Retrospective single-cen...
