Successful Colonic Stenting Across the Ileocecal Valve With Severe Malignant Stenosis Using Ultra‐thin Scope and Single‐balloon Overtube

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Self‐expanding metallic stents (SEMSs) are an established palliative option for malignant colonic obstruction, including in cases with proximal lesions. However, SEMS placement across the ileocecal valve (ICV) can be technically challenging because of the anatomical curvature and luminal stenosis. Herein, we report a successful case of colonic

Adverse Events of Single Balloon Enteroscopy‐assisted Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography in the Elderly: A Propensity Score Matching Analysis

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Sedation for conventional endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) has been reported to be safe even for elderly patients. However, the safety of sedation for balloon enteroscopy‐assisted ERCP (BE‐ERCP) has not been well‐studied in the elderly.

Prevention of Cholangitis by Spontaneously Dislodging Biliary Stent After an Endoscopic Procedure in Patients With Asymptomatic Bile Duct Stones

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of spontaneously dislodging biliary stent (SDBS) placement in preventing acute cholangitis after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients with asymptomatic bile duct stones. Methods This retrospective, single‐center study included 63 patients (mean age, 73 ± 11 years; 43 men) who

Effectiveness of Gel‐immersion Endoscopic Injection Sclerotherapy Under Texture and Color Enhancement Imaging for Esophageal Varices: A Comparison of Variceal Visibility Under Gel With White Light Imaging

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective Gel‐immersion endoscopic injection sclerotherapy (GI‐EIS) addresses the technical challenges in intravariceal injection for esophageal varices (EVs). However, gel accumulation may obscure the variceal morphology. Thus, we developed GI‐EIS under texture and color enhancement imaging (TXI) and evaluated its effectiveness.
