Diagnostic and Prognostic Values of Bile Biomarkers for Malignant Biliary Stenosis

Liver International, Volume 46, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Differentiating between malignant and benign biliary strictures remains a clinical challenge because current diagnostic tools have limited sensitivity. The detection of tumour‐related biomarkers directly in bile, which is in close contact with the lesion, may enhance diagnostic accuracy.

Endoscopic management of acute cholecystitis in high‐risk surgical patients: A comprehensive review article

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
Abstract Acute cholecystitis is frequently encountered in daily clinical practice, and early cholecystectomy is the standard therapy. In high‐risk surgical patients, such as those with advanced age, deteriorated performance status, or underlying diseases, conservative treatment is typically preferred to manage acute cholecystitis.

Endoscopic findings of gallbladder lesions evaluated with image‐enhanced endoscopy: A preliminary study using resected gallbladders

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
Abstract The diagnosis of gallbladder (GB) lesions relies on imaging findings. Transpapillary cholangioscopy can potentially be used to diagnose GB lesions; however, the images obtained remain unclear. This study aimed to characterize the endoscopic findings of GB lesions. We examined the endoscopic features of GB lesions in 50 consecutive patients who

Gallbladder perforation following peroral cholangioscopy‐guided lithotripsy: A case report

DEN Open, 2023
Peroral cholangioscopy‐guided lithotripsy is highly effective in clearing difficult bile duct stones. It can cause adverse events, such as cholangitis and pancreatitis; however, gallbladder perforation is extremely rare. Herein, we describe the case of a

A Case of Obstructive Jaundice due to Bile Duct Tumor Thrombus of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Diagnosed by Peroral Cholangioscopy

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
Abstract While hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) often invades the portal or hepatic vein to form tumor thrombus, tumor thrombus in the bile duct is rare. In such cases, differentiation from intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is difficult, and the tumor often appears as a smooth, yellowish‐white, polypoid mass within the bile duct lumen.

Endoscopic Ultrasound‐Guided Hepaticogastrostomy With Plastic Stents in Comparison to Transpapillary Drainage With Metallic Stents for Unresectable Malignant Distal Biliary Obstructions

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Endoscopic ultrasound‐guided hepaticogastrostomy (EUS‐HGS) is usually performed for unresectable malignant distal biliary obstruction (MDBO) when endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography‐guided biliary stenting with fully covered self‐expandable metallic stents (EBS‐MSs) fails.
