- Prospective international multicenter study on endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage for patients with malignant distal biliary obstruction after failed endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(2016) KHASHAB, Mouen A.; MERWE, Schalk Van der; KUNDA, Rastislav; ZEIN, Mohamad H. El; TEOH, Anthony Y.; MARSON, Fernando P.; FABBRI, Carlo; TARANTINO, Ilaria; VARADARAJULU, Shyam; MODAYIL, Rani J.; STAVROPOULOS, Stavros N.; PENAS, Irene; NGAMRUENGPHONG, Saowanee; KUMBHARI, Vivek; ROMAGNUOLO, Joseph; SHAH, Raj; KALLOO, Anthony N.; PEREZ-MIRANDA, Manuel; ARTIFON, Everson L.Background and aims: Endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) has emerged as an alternative to traditional radiologic and surgical drainage procedures after failed endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). However, prospective multicenter data are lacking. The aims of this study were to prospectively assess the short- and long-term efficacy and safety of EUS-BD in patients with malignant distal biliary obstruction. Patients and methods: Consecutive patients at 12 tertiary centers (5 US, 5 European, 1 Asian, 1 South American) with malignant distal biliary obstruction and failed ERCP underwent EUS-BD. Technical success was defined as successful stent placement in the desired position. Clinical success was defined as a reduction in bilirubin by 50% at 2 weeks or to below 3mg/dL at 4 weeks. Adverse events were prospectively tracked and graded according to the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) lexicon's severity grading system. Overall survival and duration of stent patency were calculated using Kaplan-Meier analysis. Results: A total of 96 patients (mean age 66 years, female 45%, pancreatic cancer 55%) underwent EUS-BD. Stent placement (technical success) was achieved in 92 (95.8%) patients (metallic stent 84, plastic stent 8). Mean procedure time was 40 minutes. Clinical success was achieved in 86 (89.5%) patients. A total of 10 (10.5%) adverse events occurred: pneumoperitoneum (n=2), sheared wire (n=1), bleeding (n=1), bile leak (n=3), cholangitis (n=2), and unintentional perforation (n=1); 4 graded as mild, 4 moderate, 1 severe, and 1 fatal (due to perforation). A total of 38 (44%) patients died of disease progression during the study period. The median patient survival was 167 days (95%CI 112-221) days. The 6-month stent patency rate was 95% (95%CI 94.94-95.06%) and the 1-year stent patency was 86% (95%CI 85.74-86.26%). Conclusion: This study on EUS-BD demonstrates excellent efficacy and safety of EUS-BD when performed by experts. Study registration: NCT01889953

- Endoscopic ultrasound versus magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatogrphy in suspected choledocholithiasis: A systematic review(2016) CASTRO, Vinicius Leite De; MOURA, Eduardo G. H.; CHAVES, Dalton M.; BERNARDO, Wanderley M.; MATUGUMA, Sergio E.; ARTIFON, Everson L. A.Background and Objectives: There is a lack of consensus about the optimal noninvasive strategy for patients with suspected choledocholithiasis. Two previous systematic reviews used different methodologies not based on pretest probabilities that demonstrated no statistically significant difference between Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) for the detection of choledocholithiasis. In this article, we made a comparison of the diagnostic ability of EUS and MRCP to detect choledocholithiasis in suspected patients. Methods: We conducted a systematic review in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) recommendations with all published randomized prospective trials. We performed the systemic review using MedLine, EMBASE, Cochrane, LILACS, and Scopus reviews through May 2015. We identified eight randomized, prospective, blinded trials comparing EUS and MRCP. All the patients were submitted to a gold standard method. We calculated the study-specific variables and performed analyses using aggregated variables such as sensitivity, specificity, prevalence, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV), and accuracy. Results: Five hundred and thirty eight patients were included in the analysis. The pretest probability for choledocholithiasis was 38.7. The mean sensitivity of EUS and MRCP for detection of choledocholithiasis was 93.7 and 83.5, respectively; the specificity was 88.5 and 91.5, respectively. Regarding EUS and MRCP, PPV was 89 and 87.8, respectively, and NPV was 96.9 and 87.8, respectively. The accuracy of EUS and MRCP was 93.3 and 89.7, respectively. Conclusions: For the same pretest probability of choledocholithiasis, EUS has higher posttest probability when the result is positive and a lower posttest probability when the result is negative compared with MRCP.
article 1 Citação(ões) na Scopus Local staging of rectal carcinoma: Systematic review of literature and meta-analysis(2016) GUENAGA, Katia F; OTOCH, Jose P; ARTIFON, Everson L. ANew surgical techniques in the treatment of rectal cancer have improved survival mainly by reducing local recurrences. A preoperative staging method is required to accurately identify tumor stage and planning the appropriate treatment. MRI and ERUS are currently being used for the local staging (T stage). In this review, the accuracy of MRI and ERUS with rigid probe was compared against the gold standard of the pathological findings in the resection specimens. Five studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in this meta-analysis. The accuracy was 91.0% to ERUS and 86.8% to MRI (p=0.27). The result has no statistical significance but with pronounced heterogeneity between the included trials as well as other published reviews. We can conclude that there is a clear need for good quality, larger scale and prospective studiesconferenceObject ERCP Versus EUS for Tissue Diagnosis of Malignant Biliary Stricture: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis(2016) MOURA, Diogo T. de; MOURA, Eduardo T. de; BERNARDO, Wanderlei M.; BARACAT, Felipe I.; KONDO, Andre; MATUGUMA, Sergio E.; ARTIFON, Everson L.- Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Biliary Drainage: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis(2016) KHAN, Muhammad Ali; AKBAR, Ali; BARON, Todd H.; KHAN, Sobia; KOCAK, Mehmat; ALASTAL, Yaseen; HAMMAD, Tariq; LEE, Wade M.; SOFI, Aijaz; ARTIFON, Everson L. A.; NAWRAS, Ali; ISMAIL, Mohammad KashifVariable success and adverse event rates have been reported for endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) utilizing either extrahepatic or intrahepatic approach. We aimed to conduct a proportion meta-analysis to evaluate the cumulative efficacy and safety of EUS-BD and to compare the two approaches and transluminal methods of EUS-BD. We searched MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, ISI Web of Science, and Scopus from January 2001 through January 5, 2015, to identify studies reporting technical success and adverse events of EUS-BD. A sample size of more than 20 patients was a further criterion. Weighted pooled rate (WPR) for technical success and post-procedure complications was calculated for overall studies and predefined subgroups. Pooled odds ratios were calculated for technical success and adverse events for two approaches and transluminal methods of EUS-BD for distal common bile duct (CBD) strictures. The WPR with 95 % confidence interval (CI) for technical success and post-procedure adverse events was 90 % (86, 93 %) and 17 % (13, 22 %), respectively, with considerable heterogeneity (I (2) = 77 %). For high-quality studies, the WPR for technical success was 94 % (91, 96 %), I (2) = 0 % and WPR for post-procedure adverse event was 16 % (12, 19 %), I (2) = 39 %. In meta-regression model, distal CBD stricture and transpapillary drainage were associated with higher technical success and intrahepatic access route was associated with higher adverse event rate. There was no difference in technical success using either approach OR 1.27 (0.52, 3.13), I (2) = 0 % or transluminal method OR 1.32 (0.51, 3.38), I (2) = 0 %. However, the extrahepatic approach appeared significantly safer as compared to the intrahepatic approach OR 0.35 (0.19, 0.67), I (2) = 27 %. Likewise, choledochoduodenostomy was found to have less adverse events as compared to hepaticogastrostomy, OR 0.40 (0.18, 0.87), I (2) = 0 %. In cases of failure of traditional ERC to achieve biliary drainage, EUS-BD appears to be an emerging therapeutic modality with a cumulative success rate of 90 % and cumulative adverse events rate of 17 %. Randomized controlled trials are required to further evaluate the efficacy and safety of the procedure along with the comparison to traditional modalities like percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage.
- AN INNOVATIVE EX-VIVO MODEL FOR RAPID CHANGE OF THE PAPILLA FOR TEACHING ADVANCED ENDOSCOPIC RETROGRADE CHOLANGIOPANCREATOGRAPHY PROCEDURES(2016) ARTIFON, Everson L.A.; NAKADOMARI, Thaisa S.; KASHIWAGUI, Leandro Y.; BELMONTE, Emilio A.; SOLAK, Cláudio R.; CHENG, Spencer; FURUYA JR, Carlos K.; OTOCH, Jose P.ABSTRACT Background: Models for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography training allow practice with an expert feedback and without risks. A method to rapidly exchange the papilla can be time saving and accelerate the learning curve. Aim: To demonstrate a newly method of rapid exchange papilla in ex-vivo models to teach retrograde cholangiopancreatography advanced procedures. Methods: A new model of ex-vivo papilla was developed in order to resemble live conditions of procedures as cannulation, papilotomy or fistula-papilotomy, papiloplasty, biliary dilatation, plastic and metallic stentings. Results: The ex-vivo model of papilla rapid exchange is feasible and imitates with realism conditions of retrograde cholangiopancreatography procedures. Conclusion: This model allows an innovative method of advanced endoscopic training.
article 5 Citação(ões) na Scopus Guide wire-assisted cannulation versus conventional contrast to prevent pancreatitis: A systematic review and meta-analysis based on randomized control trials(2016) DE MOURA, Eduardo T.H.; DE MOURA, Eduardo G.H.; BERNARDO, Wanderley; CHENG, Spencer; KONDO, Andre; DE MOURA, Diogo T.H.; BRAVO, Jose; ARTIFON, Everson L.A.Objective: Through this systematic review and meta-analysis, we aim to clarify the differences between these two techniques, thus improving primary success cannulation and reducing complications during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, primarily pancreatitis. Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted to search for data available up until June2015from the most important databases available in the health field: EMBASE, MEDLINE (via PubMed), Cochrane, LILACS and CENTRAL (via BVS), SCOPUS, the CAPES database (Brazil), and gray literature. Results: Nine randomized clinical trialsincluding2583 people were selected from20,198 studies for meta-analysis. Choledocholithiasis had been diagnosed in mostly (63.8%) of the patients, who were aged an average of 63.15 years. In those patients treated using the guide wire-assisted cannulation technique, provided a significantly lower instance of pancreatitis (RD=0.03; 95% CI: 0.01-0.05; I2= 45%) and greater primary success cannulation (RD=0.07; 95% CI: 0.03-0.12; I2=12%) than conventional contrast cannulation. Conclusions: The guide wire-assisted technique, when compared to the conventional contrast technique, reduces the risk of pancreatitis and increases primary success cannulation rate. Thus, guide wire-assisted cannulation appears to be the most appropriate first-line cannulation techniquearticle 0 Citação(ões) na Scopus Recurrent acute pancreatitis caused by pancreatic biliary maljunction due to long common channel(2016) FARIAS, Galileu F.
