Long‐anchoring Stent Method as a Rescue Technique for Early Dysfunction of Covered Self‐Expandable Metal Stents in Distal Malignant Biliary Obstruction: A Retrospective Case Series

DEN Open, Volume 7, Issue 1, April 2027.
ABSTRACT Objective Covered self‐expandable metal stents (SEMS) are widely used for treating distal malignant biliary obstruction (MBO). Severe SEMS angulation can cause stent dysfunction. Placement of a long double‐pigtail plastic stent inside the SEMS (the “long‐anchoring stent method”) may straighten the angulated SEMS, thereby achieving effective ...

The Presence and Significance of Bacteria and Fungi in Bile Aspirated During ERC—A Retrospective Analysis

Biomedicines
Background: Infections of the biliary tract are found frequently in pathologically or surgically altered bile ducts. Mostly these infections result from the ascent of bacteria or fungi from the small bowel, although hematogeneous infections of the ...

Endoscopic management of postoperative bile duct injuries: A single center experience

The Saudi Journal of Gastroenterology, 2010
Background/Aim: Biliary endoscopic procedures may be less invasive than surgery for management of postoperative bile duct injuries (POBDI). This retrospective work presents the experience of a single referral center during a period of 14 years in ...

A Novel Biliary Plastic Stent With a Centrally Located Flap: Initial Clinical Experience in Three Cases

DEN Open, Volume 7, Issue 1, April 2027.
ABSTRACT Endoscopic biliary plastic stent (PS) insertion is standard for maintaining bile flow, but migration and dislodgement persist as important challenges. We developed the cross range flap stent (CRF stent), a 7 Fr, 7 cm straight‐type PS. Unlike conventional stents with flaps at both ends, the CRF stent features flaps and flap holes at the ...

Balloon Enteroscopy‐assisted Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography for Choledocholithiasis in Situs Inversus Totalis With Billroth II Reconstruction: A Case Report and Literature Review

DEN Open, Volume 7, Issue 1, April 2027.
ABSTRACT Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients with situs inversus totalis (SIT) and Billroth II reconstruction is technically challenging because of mirror‐image anatomy, altered access to the papilla, and inverted papillary orientation.

First Case Report of Triple Recurrent Cholangitis of “Coildocholithiasis,” Following Hepatic Artery Pseudoaneurysm Embolization

DEN Open, Volume 7, Issue 1, April 2027.
ABSTRACT A 72‐year‐old man developed a hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm (HAP) caused by a liver abscess due to acute cholangitis and choledocholithiasis. He was successfully treated by transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) with tornado microcoils. Two years later, he developed severe acute cholangitis caused by a biliary stone formed around a coil ...

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.

Sphincterotomy plus large balloon dilation versus sphincterotomy alone for the extraction of complex lithiasis: a prospective analysis

, 2015
Background and purpose: Mid-size sphincterotomy associated with large balloon dilation is an alternative to wide sphincterotomy to remove complex lithiases. However, which of the two techniques is most effective remains unclear.

Transpapillary/Transfistular Drainage for Two Refractory Postoperative Right‐Lobe Bilomas: A Case Report

DEN Open, Volume 7, Issue 1, April 2027.
ABSTRACT We report a case of two refractory postoperative right‐lobe bilomas that were successfully treated with transpapillary/transfistular (TP/TF) drainage. A 57‐year‐old man developed two bilomas (segments 6 and 7) after repeated hepatectomy for colorectal liver metastases.
