Clinical Outcomes of Multi‐Hole Covered Self‐Expandable Metal Stents for Malignant Distal Biliary Obstruction: A Retrospective Comparative Study With an Exploratory Evaluation of 6‐mm Devices

DEN Open, Volume 7, Issue 1, April 2027.
ABSTRACT Objectives Covered self‐expandable metal stents (CSEMS) are widely used for malignant distal biliary obstruction (MDBO), but cholecystitis, post‐endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) pancreatitis (PEP), stent migration, and recurrent biliary obstruction (RBO) remain clinically important limitations.

Successful Endoscopic Treatment of Walled‐Off Necrosis With Complex Quadruple Fistulas Among the Necrotic Cavity, Stomach, Duodenum, and Common Bile Duct

DEN Open, Volume 7, Issue 1, April 2027.
ABSTRACT We report an extremely rare case of duodenal bulb perforation caused by a double‐pigtail plastic stent placed for walled‐off necrosis (WON), coexisting with a biliary fistula to the WON and a choledochoduodenal fistula, all successfully managed with endoscopic treatment alone.

Endoscopic Ultrasound‐Guided Gallbladder Drainage as a Bridge to Surgery for Acute Cholecystitis: A Comparative Study

DEN Open, Volume 7, Issue 1, April 2027.
ABSTRACT Objectives Gallbladder drainage is used for patients with acute cholecystitis (AC) who are unsuitable for emergency cholecystectomy. Percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (PTGBD), endoscopic ultrasound‐guided gallbladder drainage (EUS‐GBD), and endoscopic transpapillary GBD (ETGBD) are used as bridge‐to‐surgery (BTS) approaches, but ...

Prevention and treatment of post‐endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography cholangitis: Current evidence and future directions

Clinical and Translational Discovery, Volume 6, Issue 6, December 2026.
1. Prevention strategies should be stratified by preoperative cholangitis status. 2. For pre‐existing cholangitis, therapeutic antibiotics plus urgent drainage are essential; ENBD and stents show similar efficacy. 3. Early biliary drainage is the cornerstone of treatment; endoscopic drainage is preferred, with PTCD/EUS‐BD as second‐line. 4.

The Circulating Cholangiocarcinoma Protein Biomarkers CRP and MASP2 Also Predict Gallbladder Cancer Risk

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 159, Issue 10, Page 2403-2407, 15 November 2026.
ABSTRACT In a recent publication, Lapitz et al. reported differences in serum levels that predict the development of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis prior to clinical manifestation. We examined whether these biomarkers also predict the risk of gallbladder cancer (GBC) in European prospective plasma samples from ...

Gallstone formation: Local factors

, 1999
Supersaturation of bile is a necessary prerequisite to gallstone formation. However, patients who have undergone a cholecystectomy do not form gallstones. This indicates a role of local factors in gallstone formation. Gallbladder stasis, mucin secretion,
