Efficacy of the Stent‐in‐Stent Technique as a Rescue Method for Removing Embedded Metallic Biliary Stents

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
The stent‐in‐stent technique involves placing another fully covered metal stent inside an irremovable embedded stent to compress tissue and enable safe removal. In this study of 17 patients, the overall technical success rate was 76.5%, with higher efficacy via EUS‐guided hepaticogastrostomy (100%) and transpapillary routes (80%).

A Novel Technique of Overtube‐assisted Ultrathin Endoscopic Biliary Drainage Using Multi‐Hole Self‐Expandable Metal Stents: A Case Report

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is the standard procedure for biliary drainage; however, access can be challenging in patients with altered anatomy or tumor‐related distortion. Endoscopic ultrasound‐guided biliary drainage (EUS‐BD) is a common alternative, yet it is not always feasible, particularly in patients with prior

Endoscopic Ultrasound‐Guided Hepaticogastrostomy With Plastic Stents in Comparison to Transpapillary Drainage With Metallic Stents for Unresectable Malignant Distal Biliary Obstructions

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Endoscopic ultrasound‐guided hepaticogastrostomy (EUS‐HGS) is usually performed for unresectable malignant distal biliary obstruction (MDBO) when endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography‐guided biliary stenting with fully covered self‐expandable metallic stents (EBS‐MSs) fails.

Five Cases of Hepatic Mesenchymal Tumors Diagnosed by Endoscopic Ultrasound‐Guided Tissue Acquisition

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Percutaneous biopsy remains the gold standard for diagnosing focal liver lesions; however, endoscopic ultrasound‐guided tissue acquisition (EUS‐TA) has recently emerged as a promising alternative. Although its diagnostic performance is favorable, most available evidence has focused on epithelial tumors, and reports on mesenchymal tumors are ...

Delayed Duodenal Ulcer Perforation Following Esophageal Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection Complicated by Perforation: A Case Report

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
Abstract Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is an established treatment of superficial esophageal neoplasms. Common complications include bleeding, perforation, and stricture. However, delayed gastrointestinal perforation distant from the ESD site is exceptionally rare.

Simultaneous Placement of Three Thin‐Delivery Multi‐Hole Self‐Expandable Metallic Stents for Malignant Hilar Biliary Obstruction Using a Large‐Channel Duodenoscope

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Endoscopic biliary drainage for malignant hilar biliary obstruction is technically demanding especially when multiple ducts require drainage. Plastic inside stents are widely used because of their removability and ease of exchange, but multiple insertion is often hindered by stent interference.
