Prevention of Adverse Events in Endoscopic Ultrasound‐Guided Biliary Drainage

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Endoscopic ultrasound‐guided biliary drainage (EUS‐BD) is used when biliary drainage using endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography fails. Recently, it has been adopted as a primary biliary drainage method, and its indications have expanded.

Liver aquaporins: Significance in canalicular and ductal bile formation

Annals of Hepatology, 2004
Bile is primarily secreted in hepatocytes (i.e. the canalicular bile) and subsequently delivered to the intrahepatic bile ducts, where is modified by cholangiocytes (i.e. the ductal bile).

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography‐guided Biliary Drainage with Duckbill‐type Anti‐reflux Metal Stent versus Endoscopic Ultrasound‐guided Hepaticogastrostomy for Malignant Distal Biliary Obstruction in Pancreatic Cancer with Duodenal Invasion

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Duodenal invasion is a risk factor for early recurrent biliary obstruction (RBO) due to the increased risk of duodenobiliary reflux. Transpapillary biliary drainage using anti‐reflux metal stents (ARMS) and endoscopic ultrasound‐guided hepaticogastrostomy (EUS‐HGS) are two different strategies for this condition.

Factors Affecting Clinical Course of Postoperative Bile Leakage and Efficacy of Endoscopic Biliary Drainage: A Multi‐Center Retrospective Cohort Study

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
Abstract Introduction Bile leakage is one of the complications after hepatobiliary surgery, causing intra‐abdominal infections, and is sometimes difficult to treat. The purpose of our study was to investigate the factors related to severity and to evaluate the efficacy of endoscopic treatment.

A Novel Bioabsorbable Covered Stent for Advancing Bile Duct Injury Management: A Preclinical Study in a Porcine Model (With Video)

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Self‐expandable metallic and plastic stents have been used for biliary tract injuries, but they are not entirely adequate as treatments. This study investigated the potential of our novel self‐expandable bioabsorbable covered stent (SEBCS) to treat bile duct injuries. We developed a novel SEBCS by covering a self‐expandable bioabsorbable stent

Efficacy and Safety of a 6‐Month Placement of a Fully Covered Self‐Expanding Metal Stent for Refractory or Recurrent Hepaticojejunostomy Anastomotic Stricture via Balloon Enteroscopy‐Assisted Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Balloon enteroscopy‐assisted endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (BE‐assisted ERCP) is performed for hepaticojejunostomy anastomotic stricture (HJAS) after biliary‐enteric anastomosis. Although endoscopic balloon dilation (EBD) and plastic stent (PS) placement are commonly performed, they result in high recurrence rates ...

The causal relationship between platelet indices and liver cancer: a bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization study

Discover Oncology
Background Platelet indices are non-invasive biomarkers used to assess disease status. Observational studies have shown that platelet indices are related to liver cancer. However, the specific relationship between the two is still inconclusive.

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
