- 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.
- 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.
