    USEFULNESS OF GASTRIC SUBMUCOSAL DISSECTION DEPTH TO EVALUATE SKILL ACQUIREMENT IN SHORT TERM TRAINING COURSES IN ESD: AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY
    (2018) YAMAZAKI, Kendi; MOURA, Eduardo Guimarães Hourneaux de; VERAS, Mariana Matera; MESTIERI, Luiz Henrique; SAKAI, Paulo
    ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a complex endoscopic procedure, with high rates of adverse events and technical difficulties. To overcome that problem, many training centers published the importance of animal models for skill acquirement in ESD. However, no study has used the submucosal dissection depth (DSUB) as a parameter to evaluate the learning curve in ESD, which might be a relevant factor since an optimal resection plane is important to achieve a curative resection and avoid intraoperative complications. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess ESD skill acquirement after short-term training sessions by evaluating the submucosal dissection depth (DSUB) and the association with adverse events. METHODS: This experimental study included 25 experienced endoscopists in therapeuthic procedures (>5years) and 75 specimens resected by ESD (three resections / endoscopist). Learning parameters (resection time, size, en bloc resection rate, bleeding, perforation and submucosal dissection depth) were prospectively evaluated. The percentages of DSUB of all specimens resected were calculated. RESULTS: All specimens were resected from the gastric body (n=75). The mean size of the resected specimens was 23.97±7.2 mm. The number of adverse events, including bleeding, perforation, and death, were 17 (22.67%), 3 (4%), and 0 cases, respectively. The average mean time by the third dissection decreased from 28.44±9.73 to 18.72±8.81 min (P<0.001). The proportion of DSUB in the bleeding and non-bleeding group were respectively 37.97%±21.13% and 68.66%±23.99%, indicating a significant association between DSUB and bleeding incidence (P<0.001). The ROC curve analysis indicated a cut-off point of 61% (sensitivity, 64%; specificity, 94%) of submucosal dissection depth associated with bleeding. Therefore, when ESD was performed at a depth of >61% of the submucosal layer, the risk for bleeding during the procedure decreased (PPV, 0.97; 95% CI, 0.85-0.99). CONCLUSION: Improvement in the learning curve in ESD and a better cognitive ability were seen by the third dissection in these short term training courses. And a significant association between DSUB and the risk of bleeding.

    Evaluation of the Small Intestine by Video Capsule Endoscopy in Patients Candidates for Liver Transplantation
    (2012) FYLYK, Sonia N.; TOBARU, Andre; MESTIERI, Luiz H.; FARIAS, Alberto Q.; CARRILHO, Flair J.; D'ALBUQUERQUE, Luiz Augusto C.; MOURA, Eduardo G. De; SAKAI, Paulo
    Introduction: Recent studies suggest that in cirrhotic patients the small intestine can be affected by the consequences of a system of portal hypertension (PTH). This segment of the gastrointestinal tract, however, is hardly accessible for study. The video capsule endoscopy (VCE) is considered the gold standard exam for the investigation of small bowel diseases, especially vascular diseases of the intestinal mucosa. Objective: Evaluation of the findings of PTH in the mucosa of the small bowel of cirrhotic patients, candidates for liver transplantation (LT). Patients and Methods: Prospective, single-center, controlled study. All patients signed informed consent and the study was approved by the ethics committee. 21 patients were submitted to VCE and esophagogastroduodenoscopy (14 patients with liver cirrhosis candidates to LT and 7 control cases, with normal liver function and no evidence of PTH). Inclusion criteria: - Patients with liver cirrhosis of viral and/or alcoholic etiology and with indication for LT (Child-Pugh score A, B or C and MELD < 20). Patients submitted or not to endoscopic treatment of esophagogastric varices or GAVE. - Patients over 18 years. - Patients who agree to participate in the study. Exclusion criteria: - Patients with history of abdominal surgery and intestinal transit abnormalities. - Intestinal sub-occlusion or suspected gastroparesis. - Patients with congestive heart disease. - Patients with potentially hemorrhagic lesions that can contribute to anemia (ulcers, polyps) and not related to PTH. Results: The mucosal lesions of the small intestine secondary to portal hypertension were more common in cirrhotic patients than in control patients: 13/14 (92.8%) vs. 1/7 (14.2%). The reticular pattern of the mucosa (hypertensive enteropathy) was the most important finding of the cases (10/14 -71.4%), followed by vascular ectasia-like and varices of the jejunum and ileum (7/14 - 50%). Conclusion: This group of patients has significant changes in the mucosa of the small intestine secondary to PTH and this segment of the gastrointestinal tract may represent a site of bleeding, often classified as obscure. The VCE is an important tool for the identification of these lesions, contributing to a more accurate etiologic diagnosis.

    Deep Sedation Events During Diagnostic Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy: A Randomized Study of the Regimens Propofol-Fentanyl and Midazolam-Fentanyl
    (2012) SANTOS, Marcos E. Lera Dos; MOURA, Eduardo G. De; SAKAI, Paulo; MATUGUMA, Sergio E.; IDE, Edson; CHAVES, Dalton M.; LUZ, Gustavo; SOUZA, Thiago F.; PESSORRUSSO, Fernanda C.; MESTIERI, Luiz H.; MALUF-FILHO, Fauze
    Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Unit - Gastroenterology Department, University of Sao Paulo Medical School, Sao Paulo, Brazil Background and Study Aims: For upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (UGIE), the use of sedation is nearly universal. The objective of this study was to compare two drug combinations in terms of the frequency of deep sedation events during UGIE. Patients and Methods: We evaluated 200 patients referred for UGIE. Patients were randomized to receive propofol-fentanyl or midazolam-fentanyl (n = 100/group). We assessed the level of sedation with the Observer’s Assessment of Alertness/Sedation (OAA/S) and the bispectral index (BIS). We evaluated patient and physician satisfaction, as well as recovery time and complication rates. Results: The times to induction sedation, recovery, and discharge were shorter in the propofol-fentanyl group than in the midazolam-fentanyl group. According to the OAA/S, deep sedation events occurred in 25% of the propofol-fentanyl group patients and 11% of the midazolam-fentanyl group patients (p = 0.014), compared with 19% and 7%, respectively, for the BIS (p = 0.039). There was good concordance between the OAA/S and the BIS for both groups (k = 0.71 and k = 0.63, respectively). Oxygen supplementation was required in 42% of the propofol-fentanyl group patients and in 26% of the midazolam-fentanyl group patients (p = 0.025). The mean time to recovery was 28.82 and 44.13 min in the propofol-fentanyl and midazolam-fentanyl groups, respectively (p < 0.001). There were no severe complications in either group. Although patients were equally satisfied with both drug combinations, physicians were more satisfied with the propofol-fentanyl combination. Conclusions: Despite the greater risk of deep sedation, propofol is preferable to midazolam.

    Learning Curve for ESD: Experience From a South American Center
    (2012) MOURA, Eduardo G. H. De; YAMAZAKI, Kendi; MESTIERI, Luiz H.; MIYAJIMA, Nelson T.; CHAVES, Dalton M.; SANTOS, Marcos E. Lera Dos; IDE, Edson; FRANZINI, Tomazo; PESSORRUSSO, Fernanda C.; SAKAI, Paulo
    Introduction: Endoscopic resection techniques such as endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for early gastric cancer are gaining acceptance in many countries. However complication rates on this procedure reaches 20% on non-experienced hands. Experts recommend that ESD should first be carried out in animal models before starting to be performed in humans, in order to overcome the initial learning curve. Aims: To evaluate the learning curve during intensive ESD training on live porcine models under supervision of experts. Material and Methods: Forty endoscopists have performed ESD during an intensive training course on live porcine models, under experts’ supervision. This training had duration of two days. Simulation of a gastric lesion was obtained by aspirating the gastric mucosa with a cap on the tip of the endoscope. The following variables were analyzed: procedure time, resected specimen size, complete en bloc resection rate, circumferential incision time, submucosal solution injected volume, distance between the circumferential incision and the lesion (lateral margin) and complication rates as perforation, bleeding and death. And from the beginning to the end of the last procedure a questionnaire was given to the participants to see if they felt secure to perform ESD without supervision. Results: At the end of 2 days training, 125 gastric ESDs were achieved. Each participant performed at least 3 complete ESDs. The mean procedure time for the first cases were 32.69 min ± 15.89 (CI 95% 6.52 - 19.36) and at the end of the third case 19.7min ± 8.57 (CI 95% 6.52 - 19.36), p 0.001; the distance between the circumferential incision and the lesion (lateral margin) has increased from 2.54mm 1.75 (CI 95% 1.24 - 1.05) to 2.71mm ± 2.70(CI 95% 1.24 - 1.05), p=0.87 at the end of the third case. Bleeding rate has decreased from 18.75% to 15.63%. At the end of the training course 56.25% of the endoscopists felt secure to do ESD without supervision, a percentage that was 6.25% at the beginning of the course. Conclusion: Training ESD on live porcine models may help endoscopist overcome the learning curve but more training is needed to make it secure in humans.

    Systematic review and meta-analysis of endoscopic ablative treatment of Barrett’s esophagus
    (2014) FERREIRA DE SOUZA, Thiago; DE ALMEIDA ARTIFON, Everson Luiz; MAZZONETTO MESTIERI, Luiz Henrique; MANSUR REIMÃO, Sílvia; TOYAMA AIRES, Felipe; MARQUES BERNARDO, Wanderley; PINHATA OTOCH, Jose; HOURNEAUX DE MOURA, Eduardo Guimarães
    Background: Barrett’s esophagus (BE) is the main risk factor for esophageal adenocarcinoma. Its therapeutic approach is controversial and surgical treatment in the presence of high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia may be indicated. Endoscopic approach is an alternative with lower mortality and morbidity rates and favorable results. Objective: To define the best option, according to literature, to treat Barrett’s Esophagus. Materials and methods: Design: Systematic review of PUBMED, EMBASE, LILACS, and Cochrane Library databases was conducted and articles of randomized, controlled studies on BE endoscopic ablative treatment were selected. The systematic review through PUBMED retrieved results with higher evidence level and available recommendation grade regarding BE ablative therapy. Nine articles on randomized, controlled studies classified as A or B according to the Oxford table were selected. Cryotherapy, laser, photodynamic therapy (PDT), multipolar electrocoagulation (MPEC), and ablation through argon plasma coagulation (APC) and radiofrequency were considered ablation therapies. Patients: 649 patients from 10 different studies were analysed. Results: PDT was found to present an increase in treatment failure compared with APC, NNH = -7. BE ablation through MPEC or APC was found to have similar risk for treatment failure in meta-analysis. PDT associated with proton pump inhibitor (PPI) is beneficial for BE ablation regarding PPI use alone, NNT = 2. Radiofrequency with PPI is an efficient method to reduce risk of treatment failure, NNT = 1. Conclusions: There are no studies demonstrating the benefit of indicating cryotherapy or laser therapy for BE endoscopic approach. APC ablation was found to have superior efficacy compared with PDT and ablation through APC and MPEC was found to present effective, similar results. Radiofrequency is the most recent approach requiring comparative studies for indication.
