- EUS-Guided Biliary Drainage Versus ERCP in Malignant Biliary Obstruction Before Hepatobiliary Surgery(2023) TYBERG, Amy; SARKAR, Avik; SHAHID, Haroon M.; SHAH-KHAN, Sardar M.; GAIDHANE, Monica; SIMON, Alexa; EISENBERG, Ian A.; LAJIN, Michael; KARAGYOZOV, Petko; LIAO, Kelvin; PATEL, Roohi; ZHAO, Eric; MARTINEZ, Ma Guadalupe; ARTIFON, Everson L.; LINO, Andre D.; VANELLA, Giuseppe; ARCIDIACONO, Paolo G.; KAHALEH, MichelIntroduction:Endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) is the procedure of choice for patients who cannot undergo endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). The outcomes of patients undergoing surgery after EUS-BD for malignancy are unknown.Methods:We conducted an international, multicenter retrospective comparative study of patients who underwent hepatobiliary surgery after having undergone EUS-BD or ERCP from 6 tertiary care centers. Patient demographics, procedural data, and follow-up care were collected in a registry.Results:One hundred forty-five patients were included: EUS-BD n=58 (mean age 66, 45% male), ERCP n=87 (mean age 68, 53% male). The majority of patients had pancreatic cancer, cholangiocarcinoma, or gallbladder malignancy. In the EUS-BD group, 29 patients had hepaticogastrostomy, 24 had choledochoduodenostomy, and 5 had rendezvous technique done. The most common surgery was Whipple in both groups (n=41 EUS-BD, n=56 ERCP) followed by partial hepatectomy (n=7 EUS-BD, n=14 ERCP) and cholecystectomy (n=2 EUS-BD, n=2 ERCP). Endoscopy clinical success was comparable in both groups (98% EUS-BD, 94% ERCP). Adverse event rates were similar in both groups: EUS-BD (n=10, 17%) and ERCP (n=23, 26%). Surgery technical success and clinical success were significantly higher in the EUS-BD group compared with the ERCP group (97% vs. 83%, 97% vs. 75%). Total Hospital stay from surgery to discharge was significantly higher in the ERCP group (19 d vs. 10 d, P=0.0082).Discussion:Undergoing EUS-BD versus ERCP before hepatobiliary surgery is associated with fewer repeat endoscopic interventions, shorter duration between endoscopy and surgical intervention, higher rates of surgical clinical success, and shorter length of hospital stay after surgery.
conferenceObject EUS-FNA OF PANCREATIC SOLID MASSES: A PROSPECTIVE RANDOMIZED TRIAL COMPARING SUCTION WITH SLOW PULL(2018) CHENG, Spencer; DANIELLE, Chacon A.; ARTIFON, Everson L.; MATUGUMA, Sergio E.; SANTOS, Marcos E. dos; SAKAI, Christiano M.; CHAVES, Dalton; MOURA, Diogo T. De; MOURA, Eduardo T.- 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 ultrasonography guided drainage: Summary of consortium meeting, May 21, 2012, San Diego, California(2015) KAHALEH, Michel; ARTIFON, Everson L. A.; PEREZ-MIRANDA, Manuel; GAIDHANE, Monica; RONDON, Carlos; ITOI, Takao; GIOVANNINI, MarcEndoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography ( ERCP) is the preferred procedure for biliary and pancreatic drainage. While ERCP is successful in about 95% of cases, a small subset of cases are unsuccessful due to altered anatomy, peri-ampullary pathology, or malignant obstruction. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided drainage is a promising technique for biliary, pancreatic and recently gallbladder decompression, which provides multiple advantages over percutaneous or surgical biliary drainage. Multiple retrospective and some prospective studies have shown endoscopic ultrasound-guided drainage to be safe and effective. Based on the currently reported literature, regardless of the approach, the cumulative success rate is 84%-93% with an overall complication rate of 16%-35%. endoscopic ultrasound-guided drainage seems a viable therapeutic modality for failed conventional drainage when performed by highly skilled advanced endoscopists at tertiary centers with expertise in both echo-endoscopy and therapeutic endoscopy

- DIFFICULT BILIARY CANNULATION: SHOULD WE ALWAYS TRY A SECOND ERCP AFTER A FAILED NEEDLE-KNIFE FISTULOTOMY?(2021) FLUMIGNAN, Victor Kalil; SEIKE, Marina Garcia; SOUZA, Victória Soares de; CIRQUEIRA, Matheus Iguera; SILVA, Ana Beatriz; ARTIFON, Everson Luiz de AlmeidaABSTRACT BACKGROUND: A successful bile duct cannulation is a prerequisite for the realization of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). When biliary cannulation is not possible, needle-knife fistulotomy (NKF) can be performed. However, when biliary access is not successfully achieved even after performing NKF, it is possible to interrupt the procedure, and repeat the ERCP after a short interval. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to analyze if repeating an ERCP after a short interval of 48 hours is effective in achieving biliary access after an initial NKF was unsuccessfully performed. METHODS: A total of 1024 patients with a naive papilla, that underwent ERCP between the years of 2009-2019, were retrospectively reviewed. Difficult biliary cannulation was identified in 238 of these cases and NKF was performed. Success of biliary cannulation, NKF success at the first and second ERCPs, the associations between the type of the papilla, biliary dilatation, and overall success of NKF and adverse events rates were evaluated. RESULTS: Biliary access was initially achieved in 183 (76.8%) cases. Of the 55 (23.1%) remaining cases a second attempt was performed after 48 hours, and biliary access was successfully achieved in 46 (83.6%) of them. The overall success of NKF after the first and second ERCP, the success rate was 96.2%. Papilla located out of its normal position was related to a minor chance of success at NKF (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: We conclude that when biliary access is not achieved after the performance of a NKF, a second attempt is safe and effective and should be attempted.
- Suction versus slow-pull for endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration of pancreatic tumors: a prospective randomized trial(2020) CHENG, Spencer; BRUNALDI, Vitor O.; MINATA, Mauricio K.; CHACON, Danielle A.; SILVEIRA, Eduardo B.; MOURA, Diogo T. H. de; SANTOS, Marcos E. L. Dos; MATUGUMA, Sergio E.; CHAVES, Dalton M.; FRANCA, Raony F.; JACOMO, Alfredo L.; ARTIFON, Everson L. A.Background: Suction (S) is commonly used to improve cell acquisition during endoscopic ultrasoundguided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA). Slow-pull (SP) sampling is another technique that might procure good quality specimens with less bloodiness. We aimed to determine if SP improves the diagnostic yield of EUS-FNA of pancreatic masses. Methods: Patients with pancreatic solid masses were randomized to four needle passes with both techniques in an alternate fashion. Sensitivity, specificity, positive, and negative predictive values were calculated. Cellularity and bloodiness of cytological samples were assessed and compared according to the technique. Results: Sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of suction vs. SP were 95.2% vs. 92.3%; 100% vs. 100; 95.7% vs. 93%, respectively. As to the association of methods, they were 95.6, 100 and 96%, respectively. Positive predictive values for S and SP were 100%. There was no difference in diagnostic yield between S and SP (p = 0.344). Cellularity of samples obtained with SP and Suction were equivalent in both smear evaluation (p = 0.119) and cell-block (0.980). Bloodiness of SP and suction techniques were similar as well. Conclusions: S and SP techniques provide equivalent sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy. Association of methods seems to improve diagnostic yield. Suction does not increase the bloodiness of samples compared to slow-pull.
conferenceObject Endoscopic Papillary Large Balloon Dilation Associated With Sphincterotomy for Extraction of Large Bile Duct Stones(2012) LUZ, Gustavo O.; MOURA, Eduardo G. De; MEINE, Gilmara C.; CARNEIRO, Fred O.; MEDRADO, Bruno F.; ALMEIDA, Maira R.; MALUF-FILHO, Fauze; LERA, Marcos; IDE, Edson; FURUYA, Carlos K.; CHAVES, Dalton M.; CHENG, Spencer; MATUGUMA, Sergio E.; TOMISHIGE, Toshiro; HONDO, Fabio Y.; BARACAT, Renato; ARTIFON, Everson L.; FRANZINI, Tomazo; SAKAI, PauloCommon bile duct stones larger than 15mm are related to a higher rate of failure of endoscopic ductal clearance and need for mechanical lithotripsy. Recently, endoscopic papillary large balloon dilation (EPLBD) associated with endoscopic sphyncterotomy (ES) has been advocated for the management of difficult bile duct stones. Objective: Evaluate the efficacy and safety of EPLBD associated with ES for removal of large bile duct stones. Patients and methods: retrospective review of prospectively collected data in an academic tertiary referral center, from November 2009 to August 2011. Ampullary dilation was performed with a wire guided hydrostatic balloon (CRE/Boston Scientific) which size ranged from 12 to 20mm. The stone size and the duct diameter directed the choice of the balloon diameter. Balloon was inflated with diluted contrast medium under endoscopic and fluoroscopic control until waist disappearance and/or maximal balloon pressure. After dilation stones were extracted with the aid of standard accessories and techniques. Outcomes and adverse events were recorded. Results: A total of 730 patients with common bile duct stones were admitted for ERCP in our institution. 123 (16,8%) patients were submitted to EPLBD after sphincterotomy. The mean age was 56 years (22-98) and 77 were female (63%). The size of the stones ranged from 13 to 30mm. Initial procedure success rate without mechanical lithitripsy was 83% (102/123). In further 4 patients (3,2%) mechanical lithotripsy was used with 75% success rate (3/4). For the remaining 17 patients, mechanical litotripsy was not available and a 10Fr biliary stent was introduced to prevent obstruction and cholangitis. The total adverse events rate was 3,2%. There were 2 cases of perforation with 20mm balloon (1,6%), both treated conservatively, and two cases of mild acute pancreatitis (1,6%). None of the patients presented bleeding that required transfusion or hospitalization. Conclusion: EPLBD after sphincterotomy is a safe and effective technique for the management of large bile duct stones and it avoids mechanical lithotripsy in the majority of cases.- Natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery to salvage a migrated stent during EUS-guided hepaticogastrostomy(2016) MOURA, Diogo Turiani Hourneaux De; MESTIERI, Luiz Henrique M.; CHENG, Spencer; RODELA, Gustavo Luis; MOURA, Eduardo Guimaraes Hourneaux De; SAKAI, Paulo; OLIVEIRA, Joel F.; ARTIFON, Everson L.
