- Endoscopic ultrasound fine needle aspiration vs fine needle biopsy in solid lesions: A multi-center analysis(2021) MOURA, Diogo Turiani Hourneaux; MCCARTY, Thomas R.; JIRAPINYO, Pichamol; RIBEIRO, Igor Braga; FARIAS, Galileu Ferreira Ayala; MADRUGA-NETO, Antonio Coutinho; RYOU, Marvin; THOMPSON, Christopher C.BACKGROUND While endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided fine needle aspiration (FNA) is considered a preferred technique for tissue sampling for solid lesions, fine needle biopsy (FNB) has recently been developed. AIM To compare the accuracy of FNB vs FNA in determining the diagnosis of solid lesions. METHODS A retrospective, multi-center study of EUS-guided tissue sampling using FNA vs FNB needles. Measured outcomes included diagnostic test characteristics (i.e., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy), use of rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE), and adverse events. Subgroup analyses were performed by type of lesion and diagnostic yield with or without ROSE. A multivariable logistic regression was also performed. RESULTS A total of 1168 patients with solid lesions (n = 468 FNA; n = 700 FNB) underwent EUS-guided sampling. Mean age was 65.02 +/- 12.13 years. Overall, sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were superior for FNB vs FNA (84.70% vs 74.53%; 99.29% vs 96.62%; and 87.62% vs 81.55%, respectively; P < 0.001). On subgroup analyses, sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of FNB alone were similar to FNA + ROSE [(81.66% vs 86.45%; P = 0.142), (100% vs 100%; P = 1.00) and (88.40% vs 85.43%; P = 0.320]. There were no difference in diagnostic yield of FNB alone vs FNB + ROSE (P > 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed no significant predictor for better accuracy. On subgroup analyses, FNB was superior to FNA for non-pancreatic lesions; however, there was no difference between the techniques among pancreatic lesions. One adverse event was reported in each group. CONCLUSION FNB is superior to FNA with equivalent diagnostic test characteristics compared to FNA + ROSE in the diagnosis of non-pancreatic solid lesions. Our results suggest that EUS-FNB may eliminate the need of ROSE and should be employed as a first-line method in the diagnosis of solid lesions.
- Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM): a comparative study between Chagasic and idiopathic achalasia(2020) FARIAS, Galileu F. A.; MOURA, Diogo T. H. de; MOURA, Eduardo T. H. de; REZENDE, Daniel T. de; HATHORN, Kelly E.; NASI, Ary; QUEIROZ, Natalia S. F.; MOURA, Eduardo G. H. deBackground and study aims Achalasia can be classified as either primary (idiopathic) achalasia or secondary achalasia, which is a consequence of another systemic disease. Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is an effective and safe treatment for achalasia. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of POEM in patients with Chagasic achalasia compared to idiopathic achalasia. Patients and methods We evaluated POEM procedures performed at a single institution from November 2016 to January 2018. Demographic data, Eckardt score, lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressure, body mass index, post-operative erosive esophagitis, adverse events, length of hospital stay, and procedure-related parameters were analyzed. Results Fifty-one patients underwent POEM as a treatment for achalasia in this period (20 patients with Chagasic and 31 with Idiopathic etiology). The overall clinical success rate was 92.1 %, with no statistical difference between groups (90 % in the Chagasic group vs. 93.5 % in the Idiopathic group, P = 0.640). Both groups had significant reduction in Eckardt score and in LES pressure, and increase in bodey mass index (BMI) at 1-year follow-up. There was no statistical difference between groups regarding Eckardt score ( P = 0.439), LES pressure (p = 0.507), BMI ( P = 0.254), post erosive esophagitis (35 % vs. 38.7 %, P = 0.789), adverse events (30 % vs. 12 %, P = 0.163,) length of hospital stay (3.75 days vs. 3.58 days, P = 0.622), and operative time (101.3 min vs. 99.1 min, P = 0.840). Conclusion POEM is an effective and safe treatment for patients with achalasia. There is no difference in POEM outcomes for those patients with Chagasic or Idiopathic achalasia.
- Endoscopic Ultrasound Fine-Needle Aspiration versus Fine-Needle Biopsy for Lymph Node Diagnosis: A Large Multicenter Comparative Analysis(2020) MOURA, Diogo Turiani Hourneaux de; MCCARTY, Thomas R.; JIRAPINYO, Pichamol; RIBEIRO, Igor Braga; FARIAS, Galileu Ferreira Ayala; RYOU, Marvin; LEE, Linda S.; THOMPSON, Christopher C.Background/Aims: Endoscopic ultrasound fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) is preferred for sampling of lymph nodes (LNs) adjacent to the gastrointestinal wall; however, fine-needle biopsy (FNB) may provide improved diagnostic outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the comparative efficacy and safety of FNA versus FNB for LN sampling. Methods: This was a multicenter retrospective study of prospectively collected data to evaluate outcomes of EUS-FNA and EUS-FNB for LN sampling. Characteristics analyzed included sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, the number of needle passes, diagnostic adequacy of rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE), cell-block analysis, and adverse events. Results: A total of 209 patients underwent EUS-guided LN sampling. The mean lesion size was 16.22 +/- 8.03 mm, with similar sensitivity and accuracy between FNA and FNB ([67.21% vs. 75.00%, respectively, p=0.216] and [78.80% vs. 83.17%, respectively, p=0.423]). The specificity of FNB was better than that of FNA (100.00% vs. 93.62%, p=0.01). The number of passes required for diagnosis was not different. Abdominal and peri-hepatic LN location demonstrated FNB to have a higher sensitivity (81.08% vs. 64.71%, p=0.031 and 80.95% vs. 58.33%, p=0.023) and accuracy (88.14% vs. 75.29%, p=0.053 and 88.89% vs. 70.49%, p=0.038), respectively. ROSE was a significant predictor for accuracy (odds ratio, 5.16; 95% confidence interval, 1.15-23.08; p=0.032). No adverse events were reported in either cohort. Conclusions: Both EUS-FNA and EUS-FNB are safe for the diagnosis of LNs. EUS-FNB is preferred for abdominal LN sampling. EUS-FNA+ROSE was similar to EUS-FNB alone, showing better diagnosis for EUS-FNB than traditional FNA. While ROSE remained a significant predictor for accuracy, due to its poor availability in most centers, its use may be limited to cases with previous inconclusive diagnoses.
- Endoscopic versus surgical treatment for pancreatic pseudocysts Systematic review and meta-analysis(2019) FARIAS, Galileu F. A.; BERNARDO, Wanderley M.; MOURA, Diogo T. H. De; GUEDES, Hugo G.; BRUNALDI, Vitor O.; VISCONTI, Thiago A. de C.; GONCALVES, Caio V. T.; SAKAI, Christiano M.; MATUGUMA, Sergio E.; SANTOS, Marcos E. L. dos; SAKAI, Paulo; MOURA, Eduardo G. H. DeObjective: This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to compare surgical and endoscopic treatment for pancreatic pseudocyst (PP). Methods: The researchers did a search in Medline, EMBASE, Scielo/Lilacs, and Cochrane electronic databases for studies comparing surgical and endoscopic drainage of PP s in adult patients. Then, the extracted data were used to perform a meta-analysis. The outcomes were therapeutic success, drainage-related adverse events, general adverse events, recurrence rate, cost, and time of hospitalization. Results: There was no significant difference between treatment success rate (risk difference [RD] -0.09; 95% confidence interval [CI] [0.20,0.01]; P = .07), drainage-related adverse events (RD -0.02; 95% CI [-0.04,0.08]; P = .48), general adverse events (RD -0.05; 95% CI [-0.12, 0.02]; P = .13) and recurrence (RD: 0.02; 95% CI [-0.04,0.07]; P = .58) between surgical and endoscopic treatment. Regarding time of hospitalization, the endoscopic group had better results (RD: -4.23; 95% CI [-5.18, -3.29]; P < .00001). When it comes to treatment cost, the endoscopic arm also had better outcomes (RD: -4.68; 95% CI [-5.43,-3.94]; P < .00001). Conclusion: There is no significant difference between surgical and endoscopic treatment success rates, adverse events and recurrence for PP. However, time of hospitalization and treatment costs were lower in the endoscopic group.
- LUMEN-APPOSING METAL STENT AND ELETROCAUTERY ENHANCED DELIVERY SYSTEM (HOT AXIOSTM) FOR DRAINAGE OF WALLED-OFF NECROSIS: THE FIRST BRAZILIAN CASE REPORT(2019) DE-MOURA, Diogo Turiani Hourneaux; FARIAS, Galileu Ferreira Ayala; BRUNALDI, Vitor Ottoboni; TRANQUILLINI, Caio Vinicius; DOS-SANTOS, Marcos Eduardo Lera; MATUGUMA, Sergio Eijii; JUKEMURA, Jose; DE-MOURABRAZILIAN, Eduardo Guimaraes Hourneaux

T. H. de; BERNARDO, W. M.; MOURA, E. T. H. de; FARIAS, G. F. A.; NETO, A. C. M.; LORDELLO, M.; KORKISCHKO, N.; SALLUM, R.; MOURA, E. G. H. deAchalasia is a primary esophageal motor disorder with a variety of causes. It is most common in Central and South America, where Chagas disease is endemic. In addition to the infectious etiology, achalasia can be idiopathic, autoimmune, or drug induced. It is an incurable, progressive condition that destroys the intramural nerve plexus, causing aperistalsis of the esophageal body and impaired relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter. The literature on the treatment of achalasia comparing pneumatic dilation (PD) and laparoscopicHeller's myotomy (LHM) shows conflicting results. Therefore, a systemic review and meta-analysis are needed. A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials of PD and LHM, based on the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses recommendations, was presented. The primary outcome was symptom remission based on the Eckardt score. Secondary outcomes were lower esophageal sphincter pressure (LESP), gastroesophageal reflux (GER), and perforation. A total of four studies were included in this analysis. The total number of patients was 404. Posttreatment symptom remission rates did not differ significantly between LHM and PD at 2 years (RD = 0.03, 95% CI [-0.05, 0.12], P = 0.62), or 5 years (RD = 0.13, 95% CI [-0.12, 0.39], P = 0.32). The posttreatment perforation rate was lower for LHM (RD = 0.04, 95% CI [-0.08, -0.01], P = 0.03). There was no significant difference in terms of LESP or GER. For the treatment of esophageal achalasia, LHM and PD were found to be similar in terms of their long-term efficacy, as well as in terms of the posttreatment GER rates. However, the perforation rate appears to be lower when LHM is employed.
- Metallic vs plastic stents to treat biliary stricture after liver transplantation: a systematic review and meta-analysis based on randomized trials(2018) VISCONTI, Thiago Arantes de Carvalho; BERNARDO, Wanderley Marques; MOURA, Diogo Turiani Hourneaux; MOURA, Eduardo Turiani Hourneaux; GONCALVES, Caio Vinicius Tranquillini; FARIAS, Galileu Ferreira; GUEDES, Hugo Goncalo; RIBEIRO, Igor Braga; FRANZINI, Tomazo Prince; LUZ, Gustavo Oliveira; SANTOS, Marcos Eduardo dos Lera dos; MOURA, Eduardo Guimaraes Hourneaux deBackground and study aims The first-line approach to anastomotic biliary stricture after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLTX) involves endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). The most widely used technique is placement of multiple plastic stents, but discussions are ongoing on the benefits of fully-covered self-expandable metallic stents (FCEMS) in this situation. This study aimed to compare results from use of plastic and metal stents to treat biliary stricture after transplantation. Patients and methods Searches were performed in the Medline, EMBASE, SciELO/LILACS, and Cochrane databases, and only randomized studies comparing the two techniques were included in the meta-analysis. Results Our study included four randomized clinical trials totaling 205 patients. No difference was observed between the stricture resolution rate (RD: 0.01; 95%CI [-0.08-0.10]), stricture recurrence (RD: 0.13; 95%CI [-0.03-0.28]), and adverse events (RD: -0.10; 95%CI [-0.65-0.44]) between the plastic and metallic stent groups. The metallic stent group demonstrated benefits in relation to the number of ERCPs performed (MD: -1.86; 95%CI [-3.12 to -0.6]), duration of treatment (MD: -105.07; 95%CI [-202.38 to -7.76 days]), number of stents used (MD: -10.633; 95%CI [-20.82 to -0.44]), and cost (average $8,288.50 versus $18,580.00, P <0.001). Conclusions Rates of resolution and recurrence of stricture are similar, whereas the number of ERCPs performed, number of stents used, duration of treatment, and costs were lower in patients treated with FCEMS, which shows that this device is a valid option for initial treatment of post-OLTX biliary stricture.
- Stent versus Balloon Dilation for the Treatment of Dominant Strictures in Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis(2021) FERREIRA, Marina Tucci Gammaro Baldavira; RIBEIRO, Igor Braga; MOURA, Diogo Turiani Hourneaux de; MCCARTY, Thomas R.; PONTE NETO, Alberto Machado da; FARIAS, Galileu Ferreira Ayala; MIRANDA NETO, Antonio Afonso de; OLIVEIRA, Pedro Victor Aniz Gomes de; BERNARDO, Wanderley Marques; MOURA, Eduardo Guimaraes Hourneaux deBackground/Aims: The endoscopic management of primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC)-associated dominant strictures remains challenging. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to compare balloon dilation and stent placement in the treatment of dominant strictures among PSC patients. Methods: Literature searches on MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane CENTRAL and Lilacs/Bireme were performed for studies published until December 2020. Measured outcomes included clinical efficacy, stricture recurrence, cumulative recurrencefree rate, transplant rate, 5-year survival rate, and adverse events (ie., pancreatitis, cholangitis, bleeding, perforation and death). Results: A total of 5 studies (n=467) were included. Based on pooled analyses, there were no differences in clinical efficacy (risk difference [RD], -0.13; 95% confidence interval [CI], -0.58 to 0.33; I-2=93%) or transplant rates (RD, -0.09; 95% CI, -0.19 to 0.01; I-2=0%); however, the risk of occurrence of adverse events was lower with balloon dilatation than with stem placement (RD, -0.34; 95% CI, -0.45 to -0.23; I-2=61%). Among the types of adverse events reported, only the rates of cholangitis/bacteremia were significantly lower in balloon dilation patients (RD, -0.19; 95% CI, -0.25 to -0.13; I-2=51%). Conclusions: Compared to balloon dilation, stent placement for dominant strictures in PSC appeared to have higher complication rates without significant differences in efficacy.
