- Pure Cut or Endocut for Biliary Sphincterotomy? A Multicenter Randomized Clinical Trial(2023) FUNARI, Mateus Pereira; BRUNALDI, Vitor Ottoboni; PROENCA, Igor Mendonca; GOMES, Pedro Victor Aniz; QUEIROZ, Lucas Tobias Almeida; VIEIRA, Yuri Zamban; MATUGUMA, Sergio Eiji; IDE, Edson; FRANZINI, Tomazo Antonio Prince; SANTOS, Marcos Eduardo Lera dos; CHENG, Spencer; MINATA, Mauricio Kazuyoshi; SANTOS, Jose Sebastio dos; MOURA, Diogo Turiani Hourneaux de; KEMP, Rafael; MOURA, Eduardo Guimares Hourneaux deINTRODUCTION: Adverse events (AE) after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) are not uncommon and post-ERCP acute pancreatitis (PEP) is the most important one. Thermal injury from biliary sphincterotomy may play an important role and trigger PEP or bleeding. Therefore, this study evaluated the outcomes of 2 electric current modes used during biliary sphincterotomy. METHODS: From October 2019 to August 2021, consecutive patients with native papilla undergoing ERCP with biliary sphincterotomy were randomized to either the pure cut or endocut after cannulation. The primary outcome was PEP incidence. Secondary outcomes included intraprocedural and delayed bleeding, infection, and perforation. RESULTS: A total of 550 patients were randomized (272 pure cut and 278 endocut). The overall PEP rate was 4.0% and significantly higher in the endocut group (5.8% vs 2.2%, P = 0.034). Univariate analysis revealed >5 attempts (P = 0.004) and endocut mode (P = 0.034) as risk factors for PEP. Multivariate analysis revealed >5 attempts (P = 0.005) and a trend for endocut mode as risk factors for PEP (P = 0.052). Intraprocedural bleeding occurred more often with pure cut (P = 0.018), but all cases were controlled endoscopically during the ERCP. Delayed bleeding was more frequent with endocut (P = 0.047). There was no difference in perforation (P = 1.0) or infection (P = 0.4999) between the groups. DISCUSSION: Endocut mode may increase thermal injury leading to higher rates of PEP and delayed bleeding, whereas pure cut is associated with increased intraprocedural bleeding without clinical repercussion. The electric current mode is not related to perforation or infection. Further RCT assessing the impact of electric current on AE with overlapping preventive measures such as rectal nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and hyperhydration are needed. The study was submitted to the Brazilian Clinical Trials Platform (http://www.ensaiosclinicos.gov.br) under the registry number RBR-5d27tn.
- EUS-FNA versus ERCP for tissue diagnosis of suspect malignant biliary strictures: a prospective comparative study(2018) MOURA, Diogo Turiani Hourneaux; GUIDAMARAES, Eduardo; MOURA, Hourneaux de; MATUGUMA, Sergio Eiji; SANTOS, Marcos Eduardo dos; MOURA, Eduardo Turiani Hourneaux; BARACAT, Felipe Iankelevich; ARTIFON, Everson L. A.; CHENG, Spencer; BERNARDO, Wanderley Marque; CHACON, Danielle; TANIGAWA, Ryan; JUKEMURA, JoseBackground and study aims Biliary strictures are frequently a challenging clinical scenario and the anatomopathological diagnosis is essential in the therapeutic management, whether for curative or palliative purposes. The acquisition of specimens is necessary since many benign diseases mimic biliopancreatic neoplasms. Endscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is the traditionally used method despite the low sensitivity of biliary brush cytology and forceps biopsy. On the other hand, several studies reported good accuracy rates using endoscopic ultrasound- guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA). The aim of this prospective study was to compare, the accuracy of EUS-FNA and ERCP for tissue sampling of biliary strictures. Patients and methods After performing the sample size calculation, 50 consecutive patients with indeterminate biliary strictures were included to undergo ERCP and EUS on the same sedation. The gold-standard was surgery or 6 months' follow-up. Evaluation of the diagnostic indices (sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value, positive and negative likelihood ratio), concordance and adverse events among the methods were performed. Also, subtype analyses of the techniques, anatomical localization and size of the lesion were included. Results The final diagnoses reported in 50 patients were 47 malignant, 1 suspicious and 2 benign lesions. 31 lesions were extraductal and 19 intraductal, 35 were distal and 15 proximal strictures. In the intention-to-treat analysis, the sensitivity and accuracy of EUS-FNA were superior than ERCP tissue sampling (93,8%, 94% vs. 60,4%, 62%, respectively) (P = 0.034), with similar adverse events. There was no concordance between the methods and combining both methods improved the sensitivity and accuracy for 97.9% and 98%, respectively. In the subtype analyses, the EUS-FNA was superior, with a higher accuracy than ERCP tissue sampling in evaluating extraductal lesions (100% vs. 54.8 %, P = 0.019) and in those larger than 1.5 cm (95.8% vs. 61.9%, P = 0.031), but were similar in evaluating intraductal lesions and lesions smaller than 1.5 cm. There was no significant difference between the methods in the analyzes of proximal, distal and pancreatic lesions. Conclusion EUS-FNA is better than ERCP with brush cytology and intraductal forceps biopsy in diagnosing malignant biliary strictures, mainly in the assessment of extraductal lesions and in those larger than 1.5 cm. Combining ERCP with tissue sampling and EUS-FNA is feasible, the techniques have similar complication rates, and the combination greatly improves diagnostic accuracy.
- Anti-reflux versus conventional self-expanding metal stents in the palliation of esophageal cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis(2022) SASSO, Joao Guilherme Ribeiro Jordao; MOURA, Diogo Turiani Hourneaux de; PROENCA, Igor Mendonca; MONTE JUNIOR, Epifanio Silvino do; RIBEIRO, Igor Braga; SANCHEZ-LUNA, Sergio A.; CHENG, Spencer; BESTETTI, Alexandre Moraes; KUM, Angelo So Taa; BERNARDO, Wanderley Marques; MOURA, Eduardo Guimaraes Hourneaux deBackground and study aims Self-expanding metal stents (SEMS) are an effective palliative endoscopic therapy to reduce dysphagia in esophageal cancer. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a relatively common complaint after non-valved conventional SEMS placement. Therefore, valved self-expanding metal stents (SEMS-V) were designed to reduce the rate of GERD symptoms. We aimed to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis comparing the two stents. Material and methods This was a systematic review and meta-analysis including only randomized clinical trials (RCT) comparing the outcomes between SEMS-V and non-valved self-expanding metal stents (SEMS-NV) following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis guidelines. The risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias 2 tool. Data were analyzed with Review Manager Software. Quality of evidence was evaluated using Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation guidelines. Results Ten randomized clinical trials including a total of 467 patients, 234 in the SEMS-V group and 233 in the SEMS-NV group, were included. There were no statistically significant differences regarding GERD qualitative analysis (RD -0.17; 95% CI -0.67, 0.33; P= 0.5) and quantitative analysis (SMD -0.22; 95% CI -0.53, 0.08; P=0.15) technical success (RD -0.03; 95% CI -0.07, 0.01; P= 0.16), dysphagia improvement (RD -0.07; 95% CI -0.19, 0.06; P=0.30), and adverse events (RD 0.07; 95% CI -0.07, 0.20; P= 0.32). Conclusions Both SEMS-V and SEMS-NV are safe and effective in the palliation of esophageal cancer with similar rates of GERD, dysphagia relief, technical success, adverse events, stent migration, stent obstruction, bleeding, and improvement of the quality of life.
conferenceObject PURE CUT OR ENDOCUT FOR BILIARY SPHINCTEROTOMY? A MULTICENTER RANDOMIZED CLINICAL TRIAL(2023) FUNARI, Mateus; BRUNALDI, Vitor; PROENCA, Igor; OLIVEIRA, Pedro Victor Aniz Gomes De; QUEIROZ, Lucas; VIEIRA, Yuri; MATUGUMA, Sergio; IDE, Edson; FRANZINI, Tomazo; SANTOS, Marcos Eduardo Lera Dos; CHENG, Spencer; MINATA, Mauricio; SANTOS, Jose Sebastiao Dos; MOURA, Diogo De; KEMP, Rafael; MOURA, Eduardo De- Self-Expandable Metal Stent (SEMS) Versus Lumen-Apposing Metal Stent (LAMS) for Drainage of Pancreatic Fluid Collections: A Randomized Clinical Trial(2023) SANTOS, Marcos Eduardo Lera dos; PROENCA, Igor Mendonca; MOURA, Diogo Turiani Hourneaux de; RIBEIRO, Igor Braga; MATUGUMA, Sergio Eiji; CHENG, Spencer; JR, Joao Remi de Freitas; LUZ, Gustavo de Oliveira; MCCARTY, Thomas R.; JUKEMURA, Jose; MOURA, Eduardo Guimaraes Hourneaux deBackground and aim Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided drainage is the gold standard approach for the treatment of encapsulated pancreatic collections (EPCs) including pseudocyst and walled-off pancreatic necrosis (WON), and is associated with an equivalent clinical efficacy to surgical drainage with fewer complications and less morbidity. Drainage may be achieved via several types of stents including a fully covered self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) and lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS). However, to date there have been no randomized trials to compare these devices. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of the SEMS versus LAMS for EUS-guided drainage of EPCs. Methods A phase IIB randomized trial was designed to compare the SEMS versus LAMS for the treatment of EPCs. Technical success, clinical success, adverse events (AEs), and procedure time were evaluated. A sample size of 42 patients was determined.
Results There was no difference between the two groups in technical (LAMS 80.95% vs 100% SEMS, p=0.107), clinical (LAMS 85.71% vs 95.24% SEMS, p=0.606) or radiological success (LAMS 92.86% vs 83.33% SEMS, p=0.613). There was no difference in AEs including stent migration rate and mortality. The procedure time was longer in the LAMS group (mean time 43.81 min versus 24.43 min, p=0.001). There was also a difference in the number of intra-procedure complications (5 LAMS vs 0 SEMS, p=0.048). Conclusion SEMS and LAMS have similar technical, clinical, and radiological success as well as AEs. However, SEMS has a shorter procedure time and fewer intra-procedure complications compared to non-electrocauteryenhanced LAMS in this phase IIB randomized controlled trial (RCT). The choice of the type of stent used for EUS drainage of EPCs should consider device availability, costs, and personal and local experience. conferenceObject PURE CUT OR ENDOCUT FOR BILIARY SPHINCTEROTOMY? A MULTICENTER RANDOMIZED CLINICAL TRIAL(2023) FUNARI, Mateus; BRUNALDI, Vitor; PROENCA, Igor; OLIVEIRA, Pedro Victor Aniz Gomes De; QUEIROZ, Lucas; VIEIRA, Yuri; MATUGUMA, Sergio; IDE, Edson; FRANZINI, Tomazo; SANTOS, Marcos Eduardo Lera Dos; CHENG, Spencer; MINATA, Mauricio; SANTOS, Jose Sebastiao Dos; MOURA, Diogo De; KEMP, Rafael; MOURA, Eduardo De- Results of treatment of esophageal variceal hemorrhage with endoscopic injection of n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate in patients with Child-Pugh class C cirrhosis(2015) RIBEIRO, Joao Paulo; MATUGUMA, Sergio Eiji; CHENG, Spencer; HERMAN, Paulo; SAKAI, Paulo; D'ALBUQUERQUE, Luiz Augusto Carneiro; MALUF-FILHO, FauzeBackground and study aims: The results of endoscopic treatment with elastic band ligation for esophageal variceal bleeding in patients with Child-Pugh class C cirrhosis remain poor. In comparison with treatment with elastic band ligation, we have found lower rates of rebleeding and mortality with n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate injections. Thus, the aim of the current study was to describe our unit's 10 years of experience with injection of n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate to control esophageal variceal ruptures in patients with Child-Pugh class C cirrhosis. Patients and methods: A single-center, retrospective study was conducted. Sixty-three patients with Child-Pugh class C cirrhosis had been admitted to the center with an acute episode of esophageal variceal bleeding. All were treated with injection of n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate. The patients were assigned to 1 of 2 groups according to their Child-Pugh class C cirrhosis scores: group I (score range, 10 through 13 points) and group II (score, 14 or 15 points). The 3 variables studied were rates of initial failure to control bleeding, failure to prevent rebleeding (secondary prophylaxis), and mortality. Patients in the 2 groups (group I, n=50; group II, n=13) had similar characteristics. Results: Bleeding was successfully controlled in almost 75% of the patients during the first 5 days after treatment, with no significant differences observed between groups I and II. There were no significant differences between the 2 groups with respect to mortality rate for the first 5 days after treatment. Thirty-four patients (54%) were free of bleeding at 6 weeks after treatment, with a significant difference noted between the groups: group I, 64%, versus group II, 15.4% (P<0.001). The overall mortality rate was 44.4%, with a significant difference noted between the groups: group I, 34%, versus group II, 84.6% (P<0.001). Conclusion: Endoscopic injection of n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate is a valid treatment option to control esophageal variceal bleeding in patients with a Child-Pugh class C cirrhosis score in the range of 10 through 13 points.
- Stents and surgical interventions in the palliation of gastric outlet obstruction: a systematic review(2016) MINATA, Mauricio Kazuyoshi; BERNARDO, Wanderley Marques; ROCHA, Rodrigo Silva de Paula; MORITA, Flavio Hiroshi Ananias; AQUINO, Julio Cesar Martins; CHENG, Spencer; ZILBERSTEIN, Bruno; SAKAI, Paulo; MOURA, Eduardo Guimaraes Hourneaux deBackground and study aims: Palliative treatment of gastric outlet obstruction can be done with surgical or endoscopic techniques. This systematic review aims to compare surgery and covered and uncovered stent treatments for gastric outlet obstruction (GOO). Patients and methods: Randomized clinical trials were identified in MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane, LILACs, BVS, SCOPUS and CINAHL databases. Comparison of covered and uncovered stents included: technical success, clinical success, complications, obstruction, migration, bleeding, perforation, stent fracture and reintervention. The outcomes used to compare surgery and stents were technical success, complications, and reintervention. Patency rate could not be included because of lack of uniformity of the extracted data. Results: Eight studies were selected, 3 comparing surgery and stents and 5 comparing covered and uncovered stents.The meta-analysis of surgical and endoscopic stent treatment showed no difference in the technical success and overall number of complications. Stents had higher reintervention rates than surgery (RD: 0.26, 95% CI [0.05, 0.47], NNH: 4). There is no significant difference in technical success, clinical success, complications, stent fractures, perforation, bleeding and the need for reintervention in the analyses of covered and uncovered stents. There is a higher migration rate in the covered stent therapy compared to uncovered self-expanding metallic stents (SEMS) in the palliation of malignant GOO (RD: 0.09, 95% CI [0.04, 0.14], NNH: 11). Nevertheless, covered stents had lower obstruction rates (RD: -0.21, 95% CI [-0.27,-0.15], NNT: 5). Conclusions: In the palliation of malignant GOO, covered SEMS had higher migration and lower obstruction rates when compared with uncovered stents. Surgery is associated with lower reintervention rates than stents.
- Endoscopic Ultrasound View of Pneumatosis Cystoides Intestinalis(2023) YVAMOTO, Erika Yuki; CHENG, Spencer; OLIVEIRA, Guilherme Henrique Peixoto de; SASSO, Joao Guilherme Ribeiro Jordao; BOGHOSSIAN, Mateus Bond; MINATA, Mauricio Kazuyoshi; RIBEIRO, Igor Braga; MOURA, Eduardo Guimaraes Hourneaux dePneumatosis cystoid intestinalis (PCI) is a rare condition, with a worldwide incidence of 0.3-1.2%. PCI is classified into primary (idiopathic) and secondary forms, with 15% and 85% of presentations, respectively. This pathology was associated with a wide variety of underlining etiologies to explain the abnormal accumulation of gas within the submucosa (69.9%), subserosa (25.5%), or both layers (4.6%). Many patients endure misdiagnosis, mistreatment, or even inadequate surgical exploration. In this case, a patient presented acute diverticulitis, after treatment, a control colonoscopy was performed that found multiple rounds and elevated lesions. To further study the subepithelial lesion (SEL), a colorectal endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) was performed with an overtube in the same procedure. For safe insertion of the curvilinear array EUS, an overtube with colonoscopy was positioned through the sigmoid as described by Cheng et al. The EUS evaluation evidenced air reverberation in the submucosal layer. The pathological analysis was consistent with PCI's diagnosis. The diagnosis of PCI is usually made by colonoscopy (51.9%), surgery (40.6%), and radiological findings (10.9%). Although the diagnosis can be made by radiological studies, a colorectal EUS and colonoscopy can be made in the same section without radiation and with high precision. As it is a rare disease, there are not enough studies to define the best approach, although colorectal EUS should be preferred for a reliable diagnosis.
- Endoscopic ultrasound-guided vs endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography biliary drainage for obstructed distal malignant biliary strictures: A systematic review and meta-analysis(2019) LOGIUDICE, Fernanda P.; BERNARDO, Wanderlei M.; GALETTI, Facundo; SAGAE, Vitor M.; MATSUBAYASHI, Carolina O.; MADRUGA NETO, Antonio C.; BRUNALDI, Vitor O.; MOURA, Diogo T. H. de; FRANZINI, Tomazo; CHENG, Spencer; MATUGUMA, Sergio E.; MOURA, Eduardo G. H. deBACKGROUND For palliation of malignant biliary obstruction (MBO), the gold-standard method of biliary drainage is endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with the placement of metallic stents. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided drainage is an alternative that is typically reserved for cases of ERCP failure. Recently, however, there have been robust randomized clinical trials (RCTs) comparing EUS-guided drainage and ERCP as primary approaches to MBO. AIM To compare EUS guidance and ERCP in terms of their effectiveness and safety in palliative biliary drainage for MBO. METHODS This was a systematic review and meta-analysis, in which we searched the MEDLINE, Excerpta Medica, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases. Only RCTs comparing EUS and ERCP for primary drainage of MBO were eligible. All of the studies selected provided data regarding the rates of technical and clinical success, as well as the duration of the procedure, adverse events, and stent patency. We assessed the risk of biases using the Jadad score and the quality of evidence using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation criteria. RESULTS The database searches yielded 5920 records, from which we selected 3 RCTs involving a total of 222 patients (112 submitted to EUS and 110 submitted to ERCP). In the EUS and ERCP groups, the rate of technical success was 91.96% and 91.81%, respectively, with a risk difference (RD) of 0.00% (95% CI: -0.07, 0.07; P = 0.97; I-2 = 0%). The clinical success was 84.81% and 85.53% in the EUS and ERCP groups, respectively, with an RD of -0.01% (95% CI: -0.12, 0.10; P = 0.90; I-2 = 0%). The mean difference (MD) for the duration of the procedure was -0.12% (95% CI: -8.20, 7.97; P = 0.98; I-2 = 84%). In the EUS and ERCP groups, there were 14 and 25 adverse events, respectively, with an RD of -0.06% (95% CI: -0.23, 0.12; P = 0.54; I-2 = 77%). The MD for stent patency was 9.32% (95% CI: -4.53, 23.18; P = 0.19; I-2 = 44%). The stent dysfunction rate was significantly lower in the EUS group (MD = -0.22%; 95CI:-0.35, -0.08; P = 0.001; I-2 = 0%). CONCLUSION EUS represents an interesting alternative to ERCP for MBO drainage, demonstrating lower stent dysfunction rates compared with ERCP. Technical and clinical success, duration, adverse events and patency rates were similar.
