Hepatobiliary scintigraphy with SPET in the diagnosis of bronchobiliary fistula due to a hydatid cyst [PDF]

, 2015
In this report, we present the application of hepatobiliary scintigraphy using Tc-99m mebrofenin in the diagnosis of bronchobiliary fistula caused by a liver hydatid cyst, which penetrated the diaphragm. Hepatobiliary scintigraphy noticeably depicted the

A Novel Endoscopic Strategy for Addressing Complex Gastrointestinal Defects via the X‐Tack System: A Case Series With Videos

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The management of complex gastrointestinal defects (CGDs), such as fistulas, leaks, and anastomotic dehiscence, remains challenging. Over‐the‐scope suturing (OTSS) systems provide effective closure, but their application is limited to specific anatomical sites.

Inhibitory Effect of Lidocaine on Duodenal Peristalsis During Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography: A Multicenter, Randomized Controlled Trial (With Video)

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Conventional antispasmodics used during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), such as hyoscine butylbromide and glucagon, are often contraindicated in elderly patients with comorbidities. This trial aimed to assess the efficacy of lidocaine for inhibiting duodenal peristalsis during ERCP.

A Novel Technique of Overtube‐assisted Ultrathin Endoscopic Biliary Drainage Using Multi‐Hole Self‐Expandable Metal Stents: A Case Report

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is the standard procedure for biliary drainage; however, access can be challenging in patients with altered anatomy or tumor‐related distortion. Endoscopic ultrasound‐guided biliary drainage (EUS‐BD) is a common alternative, yet it is not always feasible, particularly in patients with prior

Endoscopic Ultrasound‐Guided Bile Duct Drainage Enhances Oncological Systemic Therapy Initiation and Capability in Patients With Non‐Resectable Malignant Distal Bile Duct Obstructions Compared to Percutaneous Transhepatic Biliary Drainage

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreaticography (ERCP) is the gold standard for bile duct drainage in non‐resectable malignant distal bile duct obstruction with jaundice in pancreaticobiliary and duodenal neoplasia. Failed ERCP is either followed by endoscopic ultrasound‐guided biliary drainage (EUS‐BD) or percutaneous ...

Long‐term Outcomes of Intraductal Fully Covered Self‐Expandable Metal Stents for Anastomotic Biliary Strictures After Living Donor Liver Transplantation: Clinical and Economic Evaluation

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
In this single‐center retrospective study of anastomotic biliary strictures after living donor liver transplantation, intraductal fully covered self‐expandable metal stents (ID‐FCSEMSs) achieved durable stricture resolution with low restenosis. Compared with multiple plastic stents, ID‐FCSEMS were associated with fewer late biliary complications and a ...

Pancreatitis Following Biliary Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography for Common Bile Duct Stones in Japan: A Multicenter Prospective Cohort Study

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Post‐endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) pancreatitis (PEP) is an adverse event of ERCP‐related procedures. The present study aimed to evaluate the incidence of PEP in patients with an intact papilla who underwent ERCP for common bile duct stones and identify risk factors and preventive measures for PEP.

Simultaneous Placement of Three Thin‐Delivery Multi‐Hole Self‐Expandable Metallic Stents for Malignant Hilar Biliary Obstruction Using a Large‐Channel Duodenoscope

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Endoscopic biliary drainage for malignant hilar biliary obstruction is technically demanding especially when multiple ducts require drainage. Plastic inside stents are widely used because of their removability and ease of exchange, but multiple insertion is often hindered by stent interference.
