Expandable stents have shown significant success in the management of leaks and fistulae, providing an efficacious minimally invasive approach in patients who are frequently poor surgical candidates.

Surgery remains the gold stan - dard for benign causes of obstruction of a bilio-enteric anastomosis or afferent loop, and percutaneous management remains controversial. Novel endoscopic techniques such as double balloon enteroscopy and endoscopic ultrasound guided procedures can overcome some of the anatomical challenges, but a percutaneous approach is a more established technique for cases of malignant obstruction of a bilio-enteric anastomosis or afferent loop. The altered anatomy presents unique challenges which must be fully contemplated and understood before intervention should occur, to avoid the risk of permanent external drainage.","PeriodicalId":32516,"journal":{"name":"Gastrointestinal Intervention","volume":"5 1","pages":"129-137"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68272592","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since only about 10% to 20% of patients are eligible for resection of hepatic hilar malignancies, most patients receive palliative rather than curative treatment. Percutaneous palliation of advanced hepatic hilar malignancies can be accomplished in a variety of ways. Percutaneous bilateral metallic stent placement may be a reasonable option in patients with hilar malignancies to preserve the functional volume of the liver during the course of chemotherapy and to prevent procedure-related cholangitis of a contaminated undrained lobe. Percutaneous bilateral stent-in-stent placement using wide-mesh or open-cell design stents is a feasible and effective method of achieving bilateral drainage. Moreover, unilateral covered or uncovered metallic stent placement in the lobe with patent portal vein is safe and effective method for palliative treatment in patients with con- tralateral portal vein occlusion caused by hilar malignancies, obviating the need for bilateral stent placement in these patients.","PeriodicalId":32516,"journal":{"name":"Gastrointestinal Intervention","volume":"5 1","pages":"47-51"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68270923","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The diagnosis of early gastric cancer (EGC) is increasing in Japan and South Korea re - sulting in better oncological outcomes. Endoscopic resection (ER) is safe and effective treatment for EGC with minimal risk of lymph node metastasis. The oncological clearance of ER for EGC in expanded criteria remains controversial. Several retrospective studies showed that endoscopic submuco- sal dissection (ESD) achieved minimal local recurrence and excellent survival for EGC in expanded indications. With an increasing trend of cancer occuring in the aging population, ER will play a major role in treatment of EGC among elderly who usually have multiple comorbidities. Salvage gastrectomy is generally recommended for those with non-curative ESD, while further researches should be conducted to refine the risks of nodal metastasis for various submucosal EGCs. Endoscopic surveillance is recommended for long term follow-up of patients after curative ESD as the risk of metachronous cancer is significant. Eradication of Helicobacter pylori is generally recommended for EGC treated by ER with a view to reduce the risk of metachronous tumor.","PeriodicalId":32516,"journal":{"name":"Gastrointestinal Intervention","volume":"5 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68271372","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
