Establishing a Normothermic Machine Perfusion Program for Liver Transplantation: Lessons Learned and Early Outcomes in the United States

Clinical Transplantation, Volume 39, Issue 5, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) has emerged as a promising technology in liver transplantation, but limited data exist regarding real‐world implementation in the United States following FDA approval. We report our experience establishing an NMP program and share insights from our first 100 cases.

Efficacy and safety of uncovered self‐expandable metal stents for distal malignant biliary obstruction in unresectable non‐pancreatic cancer

DEN Open, Volume 5, Issue 1, April 2025.
Abstract Objectives The efficacy of uncovered self‐expandable metal stents (UCSEMS) versus fully covered self‐expandable metal stents for distal malignant biliary obstruction remains controversial. Additionally, the heterogeneity of the disease conditions has been indicated in previous studies because pancreatic and non‐pancreatic cancers have ...

A case of intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct suspected to be of peribiliary glands origin

DEN Open, Volume 5, Issue 1, April 2025.
Abstract Peribiliary glands are complex lobular structures containing mucus and serous glands, distributed along the extrahepatic and intrahepatic bile ducts. In this report, we describe a case of intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct suspected to be of peribiliary glands origin.

Efficacy and safety of a novel polytetrafluoroethylene‐coated self‐expandable metal stent for distal malignant biliary obstruction

DEN Open, Volume 5, Issue 1, April 2025.
Abstract Background Stent migration and sludge formation remain significant problems associated with covered self‐expandable metal stents (CSEMSs). The EGIS biliary stent fully covered flare type (EGIS biliary stent), a new type of polytetrafluoroethylene‐coated self‐expandable metal stent with low axial force and an anti‐migration system, was ...

Recurrence rate of cholecystitis after initial gallbladder stenting versus secondary gallbladder stenting: A propensity score matching study

DEN Open, Volume 5, Issue 1, April 2025.
Abstract Objective Limitations are sometimes encountered in the application of laparoscopic cholecystectomy to the treatment of acute cholecystitis. Endoscopic gallbladder stenting (EGBS) has emerged as an additional option. However, the long‐term stent patency remains an issue.

Feasibility of endoscopic ultrasound‐guided hepaticogastrostomy using a novel long balloon catheter

DEN Open, Volume 5, Issue 1, April 2025.
Abstract Objectives Recently, a novel long balloon catheter for tract dilation in endoscopic ultrasound‐guided hepaticogastrostomy (EUS‐HGS) was developed. The balloon measures 6 cm in length, which enables one‐step tract dilation of the gastric wall, liver parenchyma, and bile duct wall, contributing to shorter procedure times and reduced bile leakage.
