Saline immersion endoscopic submucosal dissection for management of early Barrett’s esophagus adenocarcinoma and large esophageal varices
Background and Aims
We report the case of a 65-year-old man who was referred to our unit with a diagnosis of a large early Barrett’s esophagus adenocarcinoma, extending for about 10 cm and involving two-thirds of the esophageal circumference. CT scan revealed a moderate esophageal variceal ectasia not visible at endoscopic evaluation; however, no sign of liver cirrhosis had been identified at abdominal ultrasound, elastography, and laboratory examinations. Therefore, after a preliminary discussion with the tumor board, we performed endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD).
Methods
An ultraslim therapeutic endoscope (EG-840 TP Slim Treatment Gastroscope, Fujifilm, Tokyo, Japan) was used. This gastroscope has a 7.9-mm insertion tube endowed with a large 3.2-mm working channel and powered by an expanded angulation (210° up/160° down) that significantly improves maneuverability. Moreover, the latest-generation hybrid-knife (HYBRIDknife flex I-Type, Erbe, Tübingen, Germany) was used, further improving the cut and coagulate precision. The procedure was performed under amber-red-color imaging (Fujifilm) mode, specifically designed to enhance the visibility of deep vessels and submucosal space/muscle.
Results
Following significant bleeding after first mucosal incision at the distal margin, the initial therapeutic plan of tunnel creation method was changed, and a complete circumferential incision was performed followed by a submucosal dissection assisted by the saline-immersion technique and double clip-line traction method. Importantly, during ESD a dense network of marked dilated esophageal varices (up to 7 mm in diameter) were encountered in the third space, significantly prolonging the procedural time. However, varices were all preventively identified and treated. Finally, the lesion was resected en bloc, and no adverse events occurred. The patient was discharged home 3 days later asymptomatic, and histopathological evaluation revealed a curative intramucosal adenocarcinoma (pT1a, m2, L0, V0, Bd1, R0, G1) resection. At 3-month endoscopic follow-up, no significant stricture or residual/recurrence neoplastic lesion were observed.
Conclusions
ESD of Barrett's esophagus adenocarcinoma located at esophageal varices may be considered a viable option even without previous variceal treatment.
期刊介绍:
VideoGIE, an official video journal of the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, is an Open Access, online-only journal to serve patients with digestive diseases. VideoGIE publishes original, single-blinded peer-reviewed video case reports and case series of endoscopic procedures used in the study, diagnosis, and treatment of digestive diseases. Videos demonstrate use of endoscopic systems, devices, and techniques; report outcomes of endoscopic interventions; and educate physicians and patients about gastrointestinal endoscopy. VideoGIE serves the educational needs of endoscopists in training as well as advanced endoscopists, endoscopy staff and industry, and patients. VideoGIE brings video commentaries from experts, legends, committees, and leadership of the society. Careful adherence to submission guidelines will avoid unnecessary delays, as incomplete submissions may be returned to the authors before initiation of the peer review process.
