Endoscopic Ultrasonography‐guided Variceal Therapy as Salvage Treatment for Rebleeding From Duodenal Varices Following Balloon‐occluded Retrograde Transvenous Obliteration

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Duodenal varices, though rare, are potentially life‐threatening complications of portal hypertension. Management is challenging when balloon‐occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO) fails to achieve complete obliteration. Endoscopic ultrasonography‐guided variceal therapy (EUS‐VT) is effective for gastric varices, but reports of ...

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.

A Case of Worsened Refractory Ascites due to Prednisolone Administration for Stricture Prevention after Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection for Extensive Early Esophageal Cancer: Case Report and Literature Review

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is widely used for early esophageal cancer, even in patients with liver cirrhosis (LC). Corticosteroids, administered orally or by local injection, are often used to prevent post‐ESD esophageal stricture. However, their safety in patients with decompensated LC and refractory ascites remains unclear. A man
