Scheduled Inside Plastic Stent Exchange Prevents Cholangitis and Reduces Unplanned Hospitalization in Patients With Unresectable Malignant Hilar Biliary Obstruction

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives To prevent cholangitis in patients with unresectable malignant hilar biliary obstruction (MHBO), we recently implemented scheduled inside plastic stent (IS) exchange every 2–4 months. This study aimed to evaluate whether this strategy prevents cholangitis onset and reduces unplanned hospitalizations without increasing adverse events.

Needle Tract Seeding Following Transgastric Endoscopic Ultrasound‐Fine Needle Aspiration for Pancreatic Tail Cancer: A Case Report

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT We report the case of a 69‐year‐old man with a branch‐duct intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm who underwent surveillance endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), which revealed a 15 mm hypoechoic mass in the pancreatic tail. Transgastric EUS‐guided fine needle aspiration (FNA) confirmed a diagnosis of resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma ...

A Clinical Scoring Model to Predict Post‐Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography Pancreatitis in Biliary Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography for Patients With Intact Papilla: A Large Multicenter Prospective Cohort Study

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives The risk of post‐endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) pancreatitis (PEP) needs to be predicted in order to take adequate preventive measures in individual cases. The aim of this study was to develop a clinical prediction rule for PEP in biliary ERCP for patients with intact papilla.

Efficacy of the Stent‐in‐Stent Technique as a Rescue Method for Removing Embedded Metallic Biliary Stents

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
The stent‐in‐stent technique involves placing another fully covered metal stent inside an irremovable embedded stent to compress tissue and enable safe removal. In this study of 17 patients, the overall technical success rate was 76.5%, with higher efficacy via EUS‐guided hepaticogastrostomy (100%) and transpapillary routes (80%).

Efficacy of Endoscopic Ultrasound‐guided Transluminal Drainage Using Lumen‐apposing Metal Stents for the Treatment of Pancreatic Fluid Collections

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Pancreatic fluid collections (PFCs) are able to develop secondary to either fluid leakage or liquefaction of acute pancreatitis, chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic trauma, or after pancreatic surgery. While most PFCs resolve spontaneously, endoscopic procedures are sometimes necessary.

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 ...
