| 1 | One hundred and one over-the-scope-clip applications forsevere gastrointestinal bleeding,leaks and fistulas显示文摘AIM: To investigate the efficacy and clinical outcome of patients treated with an over-the-scope-clip(OTSC) system for severe gastrointestinal hemorrhage, perforations and fistulas.METHODS: From 02-2009 to 10-2012, 84 patients were treated with 101 OTSC clips. 41 patients(48.8%) presented with severe upper-gastrointestinal(GI) bleeding, 3(3.6%) patients with lower-GI bleeding, 7 patients(8.3%) underwent perforation closure, 18 patients(21.4%) had prevention of secondary perforation, 12 patients(14.3%) had control of secondary bleeding after endoscopic mucosal resection or endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD) and 3 patients(3.6%) had an intervention on a chronic fistula. RESULTS: In 78/84 patients(92.8%), primary treatment with the OTSC was technically successful. Clinical primary success was achieved in 75/84 patients(89.28%). The overall mortality in the study patients was 11/84(13.1%) and was seen in patients with life threatning upper GI hemorrhage. There was no mortality in any other treatment group. In detail OTSC application lead to a clinical success in 35/41(85.36%) patients with upper GI bleeding and in 3/3 patients with lower GI bleeding. Technical success of perforation closure was 100% while clinical success was seen in 4/7 cases(57.14%) due to attendant circumstances unrelated to the OTSC. Technical and clinic success was achieved in 18/18(100%) patients for the prevention of bleeding or perforation after endoscopic mucosal resection and ESD and in 3/3 cases of fistula closure. Two application-related complications were seen(2%).CONCLUSION: This largest single center experience published so far confirms the value of the OTSC for GI emergencies and complications. Further clinical experience will help to identify optimal indications for its targeted and prophylactic use. | Edris Wedi Susana Gonzalez Detlev Menke Elena Kruse Kai Matthes Juergen Hochberger | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,5: | 28 |
| 3 | Over-the-scope-grasper: A new tool for pancreatic necrosectomy and beyond-first multicenter experience显示文摘BACKGROUND Endoscopic treatment of pancreatic necrosis can be challenging and timeconsuming because sticky necrotic debris is sometimes difficult to remove. The over-the-scope-grasper, a new tool that has recently become available for this purpose, might also be useful for other indications. However, clinical data on the efficacy and safety of this new device are lacking.AIM To evaluate the technical success and safety of the device in a multicenter setting.METHODS The over-the-scope-grasper was used in nine selected endoscopic centers between November 2020and October 2021 for appropriate indications. Overall, 56 procedures were included in the study.We retrospectively evaluated procedural parameters of all endoscopic interventions using a predefined questionnaire, with special respect to technical success, indications, duration of intervention, type of sedation, and complications. In the case of pancreatic necrosectomy, the access route, stent type, number of necrosis pieces removed, and clinical handling were also recorded.RESULTS A total of 56 procedures were performed, with an overall technical success rate of 98%. Most of the procedures were endoscopic pancreatic necrosectomies(33 transgastric, 4 transduodenal). In 70%of the procedures, access to the necrotic cavity was established with a lumen apposing metal stent.The technical success of pancreatic necrosectomy was 97%, with a mean of 8 pieces(range, 2-25pieces) of necrosis removed in a mean procedure time of 59 min(range, 15-120 min). In addition,the device has been used to remove blood clots(n = 6), to clear insufficiency cavities before endoluminal vacuum therapy(n = 5), and to remove foreign bodies from the upper gastrointestinal tract(n = 8). In these cases, the technical success rate was 100%. No moderate or severe/fatal complications were reported in any of the 56 procedures.CONCLUSION These first multicenter data demonstrate that the over-the-scope-grasper is a promising device for endoscopic pancreatic necrosectomy, which is also appropriate for removing foreign bodies and blood clots, or cleaning insufficiency cavities prior to endoluminal vacuum therapy. | Markus Brand Jeannine Bachmann Christoph Schlag Ulrich Huegle Imdadur Rahman Edris Wedi Benjamin Walter Oliver Moschler Lukas Sturm Alexander Meining | 2022 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery2022,14,8: | 0 |
