No-reflow Phenomenon in Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction:Its Pathophysiology and Clinical Implications [PDF]

, 2009
For patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI), the immediate therapeutic goal is to establish the patency of the infarct-related artery. Prolonged myocardial ischemia, however, often breaks down the coronary microvasculature, and the flow to the ...

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.

Endoscopic vs surgical treatment of biliary stenosis after liver transplantation. [PDF]

, 2017
BACKGROUND: The biliary anastomosis is often considered as the Achilles’ heel of liver transplantation (LT). Although the incidence has decreased over the last decade, patients undergoing liver transplantation are still affected by biliary complications.

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

Predictors of Delayed Recovery in Ambulatory Advanced Endoscopic Procedures

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background There is a scarcity of data evaluating patient‐related outcomes of advanced or complex endoscopy (ACE) through the post‐anesthesia recovery course. Yet, gastrointestinal distress following ACE can occur commonly, and this may impact recovery length of stay and the approach to post‐anesthesia care.

Short‐Term Efficacy and Long‐Term Limitations of Self‐Expandable Metallic Stent Placement for Colorectal Obstruction due to Extracolonic Malignancies

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
Abstract Objectives Although previous studies have investigated colonic stenting for obstruction due to extracolonic malignancies (ECMs), long‐term data—especially concerning quality of life and chemotherapy resumption—remain insufficient. Methods Clinical data of 25 patients with ECM‐induced colorectal obstruction were retrospectively analyzed.

Active Gallbladder Lavage Using a Double‐pigtail Plastic Stent Delivery System During Endoscopic Ultrasound‐guided Gallbladder Drainage (With Video)

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
Endoscopic ultrasound‐guided gallbladder drainage using a double‐pigtail plastic stent (DPPS) harbors the risk of bile leakage and pneumoperitoneum through the anastomosis site. When the inner sheath of the DPPS system is retracted halfway back into the stent, multiple side holes emerge on the stent end, which accelerates the active gallbladder lavage.

Efficacy and tolerability of airway stents [PDF]

, 2010
The function of airway stents is to keep the tubular structures open and stable. Their insertion is essentially indicated for intrinsic obstruction or extrinsic compression of the airway, fistulae or tracheobronchomalacia.

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.
