Initial Experience With Endoscopic Ultrasound‐Guided Gallbladder Drainage Using Lumen‐apposing Metal Stents in Extremely Elderly and Frail Patients

DEN Open, Volume 7, Issue 1, April 2027.
ABSTRACT Objectives Endoscopic ultrasound‐guided gallbladder drainage (EUS‐GBD) using lumen‐apposing metal stents (LAMS) is a treatment option for acute cholecystitis in high‐risk surgical patients. However, data on extremely elderly and frail patients are limited. We report our initial experience with EUS‐GBD using electrocautery‐enhanced LAMS in this

Post‐Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography Bleeding After Endoscopic Stone Removal in Dialysis Patients: A Multicenter Retrospective Study

DEN Open, Volume 7, Issue 1, April 2027.
ABSTRACT Objectives Post‐endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (post‐ERCP) bleeding occurs more frequently in dialysis patients than in non‐dialysis patients. This study aimed to identify risk factors for post‐ERCP bleeding following stone removal in patients undergoing dialysis.

Comparison of Two Partially Covered Metal Stents for Endoscopic Ultrasound‐guided Hepaticogastrostomy: A Multi‐Center Retrospective Study

DEN Open, Volume 7, Issue 1, April 2027.
ABSTRACT Objectives Endoscopic ultrasound‐guided hepaticogastrostomy (EUS‐HGS) is an alternative biliary drainage method after failed endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. Nevertheless, it is associated with adverse events (AEs), including peritonitis and stent migration.

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.
