Abstract
Background and aims: With injection, dissection and coagulation capability, use of a novel BC (Bipolar Current Knife) during POEM may be advantageous. This randomized controlled trial (RCT) compared the clinical outcomes of BC vs MC (Monopolar Current Knife) during E-POEM.
Methods: A non-inferiority RCT study evaluating BC vs MC during E-POEM at three centers. Primary outcome was technical success: ability to perform the entire procedure with the intended knife.
Results: Technical (96% vs 100%, p=0.15) and clinical success (92.7% vs 92.7%) was similar between BC (n=52)/MC (n=52). Tunneling speed (0.65 vs 0.85 cm/min, p=0.24) was similar but procedure times (62.9 vs 53.2, p=0.04, D= 0.41) were slightly shorter in MC. 77% of patients in BC completed the entire procedure with one instrument vs none in MC. Only one major adverse event occurred in BC (managed endoscopically) (1.9%) CONCLUSION: The 3-in-1 function of a novel bipolar RFA knife can facilitate POEM with one device.
背景和目的:由于具有注射、解剖和凝血能力,在POEM中使用新型BC(双极电流刀)可能是有利的。这项随机对照试验(RCT)比较了BC和MC(单极电流刀)在E-POEM中的临床结果。方法:在三个中心进行非劣效性随机对照研究,评估E-POEM中BC与MC的差异。主要结果是技术上的成功:能够用预定的刀完成整个手术。结果:BC (n=52)/MC (n=52)患者的技术成功率(96% vs 100%, p=0.15)和临床成功率(92.7% vs 92.7%)相似。隧道速度(0.65 vs 0.85 cm/min, p=0.24)相似,但手术时间(62.9 vs 53.2, p=0.04, D= 0.41)在MC中略短。77%的BC患者使用一个器械完成了整个手术,而MC中没有。BC中仅发生了一个主要不良事件(内窥镜管理)(1.9%)。结论:新型双极RFA刀的三合一功能可以促进POEM使用一个装置。
