Complications of Endoscopic Pressure Study Integrated System: Review of 1205 Cases in 10 Years’ Experience

open access: yesDEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims The Endoscopic Pressure Study Integrated System (EPSIS) is a novel endoscopic tool to assess lower esophageal sphincter (LES) function by monitoring intragastric pressure (IGP) through insufflation. While previous studies have confirmed its diagnostic utility for LES dysfunction‐related disorders such as gastroesophageal ...

High Score of ELST‐Blue in Endoscopic Ultrasonography Strain Elastography May Provide a High Risk Group of Early Chronic Pancreatitis with the Reduction of Apolipoprotein A2‐i Index

open access: yesDEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background To evaluate the usefulness of the ELST‐blue score to explore its potential application in identifying high‐risk groups for early chronic pancreatitis (ECP) through reflecting on pancreatic elasticity and the reduction of pancreatic function, and we tried to demonstrate whether the ELST‐blue score was significantly associated with ...

Utility of the Endoscopic Pressure Study Integrated System in Identifying Silent Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease During Routine Health Check‐ups

open access: yesDEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives The endoscopic pressure study integrated system (EPSIS) is a novel functional endoscopic modality that records intragastric pressure (IGP) waveforms during CO2 insufflation to evaluate lower esophageal sphincter (LES) function and diagnose gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
