    Long-term follow-up after transoral outlet reduction following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass: Back to stage 0?
    (2023) BRUNALDI, Vitor Ottoboni; OLIVEIRA, Guilherme Henrique Peixoto de; KERBAGE, Anthony; RIBAS, Pedro Henrique; NUNES, Felipe; FARIA, Galileu; MOURA, Diogo de; RICCIOPPO, Daniel; SANTO, Marco; MOURA, Eduardo de
    Background and study aims Significant weight regain affects up to one-third of patients after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and demands treatment. Transoral outlet reduction (TORe) with argon plasma coagulation (APC) alone or APC plus full-thickness suturing TORe (APC-FTS) is effective in the short term. However, no study has investigated the course of gastrojejunostomy (GJ) or quality of life (QOL) data after the first post-procedure year.Patients and methods Patients eligible for a 36-month follow-up visit after TORe underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy with measurement of the GJ and answered QOL questionnaires (RAND-36). The primary aim was to evaluate the long-term outcomes of TORe, including weight loss, QOL, and GJ anastomosis (GJA) size. Comparisons between APC and APC-FTS TORe were a secondary aim.Results Among 39 eligible patients, 29 returned for the 3-year follow-up visit. There were no significant differences in demographics between APC and APC-FTS TORe groups. At 3 years, patients from both groups regained all the weight lost at 12 months, and the GJ diameter was similar to the pre-procedure assessment. As to QOL, most improvements seen at 12 months were lost at 3 years, returning to pre-procedure levels. Only the energy/fatigue domain improvement was kept between the 1- and 3-year visits.Conclusions Obesity is a chronic relapsing disease. Most effects of TORe are lost at 3 years, and redilation of the GJA occurs. Therefore, TORe should be considered iterative rather than a one-off procedure.

    A rare non-oncological pancreatic mass: eosinophilic pancreatitis diagnosis through EUS-FNA
    (2019) MOURA, Diogo Turiani Hourneaux De; ROCHA, Rodrigo Silva de Paula; JUKEMURA, Jose; BRUNALDI, Vitor Ottoboni; GUEDES, Hugo Goncalo; TORREZ, Franz Robert Apodaca; RIBEIRO, Igor Braga; GELRUD, Andres; MOURA, Eduardo Guimaraes Hourneaux De
    Background and study aims Eosinophilic pancreatitis (EP) is a rare etiology of chronic pancreatitis, and few cases have been reported. It is characterized by eosinophilic infiltration of the pancreas and elevated IgE levels. EP is difficult to distinguish from pancreatic cancer based on clinical symptoms and auxiliary exams. We present a case of EP and debate the routine performance of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) for resectable pancreatic mass.

    Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs versus placebo for post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography pancreatitis: a systematic review and meta-analysis
    (2019) SERRANO, Juan Pablo Roman; MOURA, Diogoturiani Hourneaux de; BERNARDO, Wanderley Marques; RIBEIRO, Igor Braga; FRANZINI, Tomazo Prince; MOURA, Eduardo Turiani Hourneaux de; BRUNALDI, Vitor Ottoboni; SALESSE, Marianne Torrezan; SAKAI, Paulo; MOURA, Eduardo Guimaraes Hourneaux De
    Background and study aims Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is the primary therapeutic procedure for treatment of diseases that affect the biliary tree and pancreatic duct. While the therapeutic success rate of ERCP is high, the procedure can cause complications, such as acute pancreatitis (PEP), bleeding, and perforation. This meta-analysis aimed to assess the efficacy of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in preventing PEP following (ERCP). Materials and methods We searched databases, such as MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Central Library. Only randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared the efficacy of NSAIDs and placebo for the prevention of PEP were included. Outcomes assessed included incidence of PEP, severity of pancreatitis, route of administration, and type of NSAIDs. Results Twenty-one RCTs were considered eligible with a total of 6854 patients analyzed. Overall, 3427 patients used NSAIDs before ERCP and 3427 did not use the drugs (control group). In the end, 250 cases of acute pancreatitis post-ERCP were diagnosed in the NSAIDs group and 407 cases in the placebo group. Risk for PEP was lower in the NSAID group (risk difference (RD): -0.05; 95% confidence interval (CI): -0.07 to -0.03; number need to treat (NNT), 20; P<0.05). Use of NSAIDs effectively prevented mild pancreatitis compared with use of placebo (2.5% vs. 4.1%; 95% CI, -0.05 to -0.01; NNT, 33; P<0.05), but the information on moderate and severe PEP could not be completely elucidated. Only rectal administration reduced incidence of PEP (6.8% vs. 13 %; 95% CI, -0.10 to -0.04; NNT, 20; P<0.05). Furthermore, only diclofenac or indomethacin use was effective in preventing PEP. Conclusions Rectal administration of diclofenac and indomethacin significantly reduced risk of developing mild PEP. Further RCTs are needed to compare efficacy between NSAID administration pathways in prevention of PEP after ERCP.

    (2020) MARCO, Michele Oliveira De; TUSTUMI, Francisco; BRUNALDI, Vitor Ottoboni; RESENDE, Ricardo Hannum; MATSUBAYASHI, Carolina Ogawa; BABA, Elisa Ryoka; CHAVES, Dalton Marques; BERNARDO, Wanderley Marques; MOURA, Eduardo Guimaraes Hourneaux de
    Background and study aims Gastric neoplasms are one of the leading types of cancer in the world and early detection is essential to improve prognosis. Endoscopy is the gold-standard diagnostic procedure and allows adequate treatment in selected cases. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has been reported to safely address most early gastric cancers (EGCs), with high curability rates. However, data on prognostic factors related to ESDs of EGCs are conflicting. Therefore, we aimed to systematically review the available literature and to perform a meta-analysis to identify the relevant prognostic factors in this context. Methods We performed this study according to PRISMA guidelines. Comparative studies assessing the relationship between curative resection or long-term curability rates and relevant prognostic factors were selected. Prognostic factors were demographic data, lesion features (location, morphology of the lesion, size, and depth of invasion), histological findings,Helycobacter pylori(HP) infection, presence of gastric a atrophy and body mass index (BMI). Finally, we also evaluated risk factors related to metachronous gastric neoplasm. Results The initial search retrieved 2829 records among which 46 studies were included for systematic review and meta-analysis. The total sample comprised 28366 patients and 29282 lesions. Regarding curative resection, pooled data showed no significant influence of sex [odds ratio (OR): 1.15 (0,97, 1.36)P = 0.10 I-2 = 47 %] , age [OR: 1.00 (0.61, 1.64)P = 1.00 I-2 = 58 %], posterior vs non-posterior location [OR: 1.35 (0.81, 2.27)P = 0.25 I-2 = 84 %], depressed vs von-depressed macroscopic type[OR: 1.21 (0.99, 1.49)P = 0.07 I-2 = 0 %], non-upper vs upper location [OR: 1.41 (0.93, 2.14)P = 0.10 I-2 = 77 %] and BMI [OR: 0.84 (0.57; 1.26)P = 0.41 I-2 = 0 %]. Differentiated neoplasms presented greater chance of cure compare to undifferentiated [OR: 0.10 (0.07, 0.15)P < 0.00001 I-2 = 0 %]. Ulcerated lesions had lower curative rates compared to non-ulcerated [OR: 3.92 (2.81, 5.47)P < 0.00001 I-2 = 44 %]. Lesions smaller than 20 mm had greater chance of curative resection [OR: 3.94 (3.25, 4.78)P < 0.00001 I-2 = 38 %]. Bleeding during procedure had lower curative rates compared to non-bleeding [OR: 2.13 (1.56, 2.93)P < 0.0001 I-2 = 0 %]. Concerning long-term cure, female gender [OR 1.62 (1.33, 1.97)P < 0.00001 I-2 = 0 %] and the mucosal over SM1 cancers were protective factors [OR: 0.08 (0.02, 0.39)P = 0.002 I-2 = 86 %]. Gastric atrophy [OR: 0.60 (0.45, 0.81)P = 0.0006 I-2 = 42 %] and the pepsinogen I/pepsinogen II ratio [OR 2.29 (1.47, 3.57)P = 0.0002 I-2 = 0 %] were risk factors to metachronous gastric neoplasm. Conclusions Ulcerated lesions, histology, bleeding and size > 20 mm are prognostic factors concerning curative resection. Regarding long-term cure, female gender and mucosal over SM1 cancer are predictive factors.

Conclusions Ulcerated lesions, histology, bleeding and size > 20 mm are prognostic factors concerning curative resection. Regarding long-term cure, female gender and mucosal over SM1 cancer are predictive factors. Gastric atrophy and the pepsinogen ratio are risk factors for metachronous gastric neoplasm.

    Tubularization of the gastric pouch helps sustain weight loss after transoral outlet reduction for post- Roux- en-Y gastric bypass weight recurrence
    (2023) ABBOUD, Donna Maria; GHAZI, Rabih; BRUNALDI, Vitor; GALA, Khushboo; BAROUD, Serge; KERBAGE, Anthony; ABDULRAZZAK, Farah; ANNAN, Karim Al; RAPAKA, Babusai; YAO, Rebecca; VARGAS, Eric J.; STORM, Andrew C.; DAYYEH, Barham K. Abu
    Background and study aims Traditional transoral outlet reduction (TORe) is a minimally invasive endoscopic approach focused on reducing the aperture of the gastrojejunal (GJ) anastomosis, while the tubular transoral outlet reduction (tTORe) consists of tabularization of the distal pouch utilizing an O-shape gastroplasty suturing pattern. The primary aim of this study was to compare short- term weight loss between TORe and tTORe. Patients and methods Retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained database was conducted at a tertiary care bariatric center of excellence. The study included patients with history of Roux- en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) who had an endoscopic revision by TORe or tTORe and had follow-up data in their electronic medical record. The primary outcome was percent total body weight loss (%TBWL). Results A total of 128 patients were included (tTORe = 85, TORe = 43). At 3 and 6 months, the tTORe and TORe cohorts presented similar % TBWL (3 months: 8.5 +/- 4.9 vs. 7.3 +/- 6.0, P= 0.27 and 6 months: 8.1 +/- 7.4 vs. 6.8 +/- 5.6, P = 0.44). At 9 months, there was a trend toward greater weight loss in the tTORe cohort ( 9.7 +/- 8.6% vs. 5.1 +/- 6.8%, P = 0.053). At 12 months, the %TBWL was significantly higher in the tubularization group compared to the standard group (8.2 +/- 10.8 vs. 2.3 +/- 7.3%, P = 0.01). Procedure time was significantly different between both groups (60.5 vs. 53.4 minutes, P = 0.03). The adverse events rate was similar between groups (8.2% vs. 7.0% for tTORe and TORe, respectively, P = 0.61). Conclusions The tTORe enhances efficacy and durability of the standard procedure without adding significant procedure-related risks.

    Histologic assessment of the intestinal wall following duodenal mucosal resurfacing (DMR): a new procedure for the treatment of insulin-resistant metabolic disease
    (2019) MOURA, Eduardo G. H. de; PONTE-NETO, Alberto M.; TSAKMAKI, Anastasia; AIELLO, Vera Demarchi; BEWICK, Gavin A.; BRUNALDI, Vitor O.
    Background and study aims Minimally invasive procedures that replicate aspects of bariatric surgery with more favorable safety and tolerability offer an attractive alternative in management of metabolic disease. Duodenal mucosal resurfacing (DMR), an endoscopic procedure using hydrothermal ablation, is designed to remove surface epithelium to allow subsequent epithelial regeneration and a reset to a more insulin-sensitive state. Materials and methods DMR was performed on a healthy pig under general ancthesia, approximating the procedure designed for use in humans. Immediately post-DMR, analysis of the histological landscape was conducted in distinct duodenal areas that received ablation treatment. Results DMR submucosal lift and hydrothermal ablation elicited disruption of villous tips and partial disruption of the crypt base with no damage to deeper tissue. Excessive ablation (purposeful double ablation exposure) did incur damage to the underlying muscle layer. Conclusion Our results confirmed that DMR elicits superficial ablation of duodenal villi and crypts. Defining the cellular consequences of ablation and regeneration of the epithelium will aid our understanding of how and why DMR affects metabolic homeostasis.

    Use of hemostatic powder in treatment of upper gastrointestinal bleeding: a systematic review and meta-analysis
    (2019) REZENDE, Daniel Tavares de; BRUNALDI, Vitor Ottoboni; BERNARDO, Wanderley Marques; RIBEIRO, Igor Braga; MOTA, Raquel Cristina Lins; BARACAT, Felipe Iankelevich; MOURA, Diogo Turiani Hourneaux de; BARACAT, Renato; MATUGUMA, Sergio Eiji; MOURA, Eduardo Guimaraes Hourneaux de
    Background and study aims TC-325 is a novel mineral hemostatic powder that creates a mechanical barrier by absorbing blood components and promoting clotting. Recently approved for use in humans, it has shown promise for treatment of upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB). However, because there have been no large studies of TC-325, its true efficacy and safety profile remain unknown. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the safety and efficacy of TC-325 in treating UGIB, based on rates of initial hemostasis, rebleeding, and adverse events (AEs). Methods We searched the MEDLINE/PubMed, EMBASE, CENTRAL, Latin-American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature databases, as well as the gray literature, to identify articles describing use of TC-325 up to October 2018.Primary outcomes were initial hemostasis and rebleeding. AEs were described as a secondary outcome. Risk of bias was assessed with international scores. Results We identified 2077 records after removal of duplicates. We included 50 studies, involving a collective total of 1445 patients, in the quantitative synthesis. Primary hemostasis and rebleeding rates were 90.7% and 26.1%, respectively. Subgroup analyses showed similar results. Only eight AEs were reported. Conclusions TC-325 appears to be a safe, effective treatment for UGIB. The overall rate of initial hemostasis after TC-325 use is high, regardless of etiology of bleeding or whether TC-325 is used as a primary or rescue therapy. Although it is also associated with high rebleeding rates, rates of AEs and equipment failure after TC-325 use are extremely low.

    Practice patterns and outcomes of endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty based on provider specialty
    (2024) GALA, Khushboo; BRUNALDI, Vitor; MCGOWAN, Christopher; SHARAIHA, Reem Z.; MASELLI, Daniel; VANDERWEL, Brandon; KEDIA, Prashant; UJIKI, Michael B.; WILSON, Erik; VARGAS, Eric J.; STORM, Andrew C.; DAYYEH, Barham K. Abu
    Background and study aims Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) is performed in clinical practice by gastroenterologists and bariatric surgeons. Given the increasing regulatory approval and global adoption, we aimed to evaluate real-world outcomes in multidisciplinary practices involving bariatric surgeons and gastroenterologists across the United States. Patients and methods We included adult patients with obesity who underwent ESG from January 2013 to August 2022 in seven academic and private centers in the United States. Patient and procedure characteristics, serious adverse events (SAEs), and weight loss outcomes up to 24 months were analyzed. SPSS (version 29.0) was used for all statistical analyses. Results A total of 1506 patients from seven sites included 235 (15.6%) treated by surgeons and 1271 (84.4%) treated by gastroenterologists. There were no baseline differences between groups. Gastroenterologists used argon plasma coagulation for marking significantly more often than surgeons ( P <0.001). Surgeons placed sutures in the fundus in all instances whereas gastroenterologist placed them in the fundus in less than 1% of the cases ( P <0.001>). Procedure times were significantly different between groups, with surgeons requiring approximately 20 minutes more during the procedure than gastroenterologists ( P <0.001). Percent total body weight loss (%TBWL) and percent responders achieving >10 and >15% TBWL were similar between the two groups at 12, 18, and 24 months. Rates of SAEs were low and similar at 1.7% for surgeons and 2.7% for gastroenterologists ( P >0.05). Conclusions Data from a large US cohort show significant and sustained weight loss with ESG and an excellent safety profile in both bariatric surgery and gastroenterology practices, supporting the scalability of the procedure across practices in a multidisciplinary setting.
