Understanding the Role of Different ERCP Techniques in Post-Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Patients: a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. Obes Surg 2025; 35:285-304. [PMID: 39671059 PMCID: PMC11717856 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-024-07459-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2024] [Revised: 08/01/2024] [Accepted: 08/06/2024] [Indexed: 12/14/2024]
Abstract
We aimed to compare enteroscopy-assisted ERCP (EA-ERCP), laparoscopy-assisted ERCP (LA-ERCP), and endoscopic ultrasound-directed ERCP (EDGE) in terms of safety and efficacy in post-Roux-en-Y gastric bypass patients. We conducted a rigorous analysis based on a predefined protocol (PROSPERO, CRD42022368788). Sixty-seven studies were included. The technical success rates were 77% (CI 69-83%) for EA-ERCP, 93% (CI 91-96%) for LA-ERCP, and 96% (CI 92-98%) for EDGE. Subgroup differences were significant between the EA-ERCP and other groups (p < 0.05). The overall adverse event rates were 13% (CI 8-22%), 19% (CI 14-24%), and 20% (CI 12-31%), respectively (p = 0.49). Our findings suggest that EDGE and LA-ERCP may be more effective and as safe as EA-ERCP.

Endoscopic treatment of biliopancreatic pathology in patients with Whipple's pancreaticoduodenectomy surgical variants: Lessons learned from single-balloon enteroscopy-assisted ERCP. Hepatobiliary Pancreat Dis Int 2024; 23:509-514. [PMID: 37495491 DOI: 10.1016/j.hbpd.2023.07.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2022] [Accepted: 07/11/2023] [Indexed: 07/28/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoscopic treatment of biliopancreatic pathology is challenging due to surgically altered anatomy after Whipple's pancreaticoduodenectomy. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of single-balloon enteroscopy-assisted endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (SBE-ERCP) to treat biliopancreatic pathology in patients with Whipple's pancreaticoduodenectomy surgical variants. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 106 SBE-ERCP procedures in 46 patients with Whipple's variants. Technical and clinical success rates and adverse events were evaluated. RESULTS Biliary SBE-ERCP was performed in 34 patients and pancreatic SBE-ERCP in 17, including 5 with both indications. From a total of 106 SBE-ERCP procedures, 76 were biliary indication with technical success rate of 68/76 (90%) procedures and clinical success rate of 30/34 (88%) patients. Mild adverse event rate was 8/76 (11%), without serious adverse events. From a total of 106 SBE-ERCP procedures, 30 were pancreatic indication with technical success rate of 24/30 (80%) procedures (P = 0.194 vs. biliary SBE-ERCP) and clinical success rate of 11/17 (65%) patients (P = 0.016 vs. biliary SBE-ERCP). Mild adverse event rate was 6/30 (20%) (P = 0.194 vs. biliary SBE-ERCP), without serious adverse events. After SBE-ERCP failure, endoscopic ultrasound-guided drainage, percutaneous drainage and redo surgery were alternative therapeutic options. CONCLUSIONS Biliopancreatic pathology after Whipple's pancreaticoduodenectomy variants can be treated using SBE-ERCP without serious adverse events. Technical and clinical success rates are high for biliary indications, whereas clinical success rate of pancreatic indications is significantly lower. SBE-ERCP can be considered as first-line treatment option in this patient group with surgically altered anatomy.

Abstract
Pancreatobiliary endoscopic interventions using balloon-assisted endoscopes have been widely acknowledged as the first-line therapy for pancreatobiliary diseases in postoperative patients with reconstructed gastrointestinal anatomy (excluding the Billroth I procedure). However, there are many technical difficulties, and the procedural completion rates vary in a wide range among institutions, indicating the procedural technique is yet to be standardized. This article aims to provide technical tips of procedures and insights into the advanced aspects, including the management of extremely difficult cases and troubleshooting of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography using balloon endoscopy, along with a review of recent advancements in this field.

Italian Survey on Endoscopic Biliary Drainage Approach in Patients with Surgically Altered Anatomy. MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2024; 60:472. [PMID: 38541198 PMCID: PMC10972116 DOI: 10.3390/medicina60030472] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2024] [Revised: 03/04/2024] [Accepted: 03/09/2024] [Indexed: 07/01/2024]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: Biliary drainage (BD) in patients with surgically altered anatomy (SAA) could be obtained endoscopically with different techniques or with a percutaneous approach. Every endoscopic technique could be challenging and not clearly superior over another. The aim of this survey is to explore which is the standard BD approach in patients with SAA. Materials and Methods: A 34-question online survey was sent to different Italian tertiary and non-tertiary endoscopic centers performing interventional biliopancreatic endoscopy. The core of the survey was focused on the first-line and alternative BD approaches to SAA patients with benign or malignant obstruction. Results: Out of 70 centers, 39 answered the survey (response rate: 56%). Only 48.7% of them declared themselves to be reference centers for endoscopic BD in SAA. The total number of procedures performed per year is usually low, especially in non-tertiary centers; however, they have a low tendency to refer to more experienced centers. In the case of Billroth-II reconstruction, the majority of centers declared that they use a duodenoscope or forward-viewing scope in both benign and malignant diseases as a first approach. However, in the case of failure, the BD approach becomes extremely heterogeneous among centers without any technique prevailing over the others. Interestingly, in the case of Roux-en-Y, a significant proportion of centers declared that they choose the percutaneous approach in both benign (35.1%) and malignant obstruction (32.4%) as a first option. In the case of a previous failed attempt at BD in Roux-en-Y, the subsequent most used approach is the EUS-guided intervention in both benign and malignant indications. Conclusions: This survey shows that the endoscopic BD approach is extremely heterogeneous, especially in patients with Roux-en-Y reconstruction or after ERCP failure in Billroth-II reconstruction. Percutaneous BD is still taken into account by a significant proportion of centers in the case of Roux-en-Y anatomy. The total number of endoscopic BD procedures performed in non-tertiary centers is usually low, but this result does not correspond to an adequate rate of referral to more experienced centers.

Abstract
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is considered the preferred method for managing biliary obstructions. However, the prevalence of surgically modified anatomies often poses challenges, making the standard side-viewing duodenoscope unable to reach the papilla in most cases. The increasing instances of surgically altered anatomies (SAAs) result from higher rates of bariatric procedures and surgical interventions for pancreatic malignancies. Conventional ERCP with a side-viewing endoscope remains effective when there is continuity between the stomach and duodenum. Nonetheless, percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) or surgery has historically been used as an alternative for biliary drainage in malignant or benign conditions. The evolving landscape has seen various endoscopic approaches tailored to anatomical variations. Innovative methodologies such as cap-assisted forward-viewing endoscopy and enteroscopy have enabled the performance of ERCP. Despite their utilization, procedural complexities, prolonged durations, and accessibility challenges have emerged. As a result, there is a growing interest in novel enteroscopy and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) techniques to ensure the overall success of endoscopic biliary drainage. Notably, EUS has revolutionized this domain, particularly through several techniques detailed in the review. The rendezvous approach has been pivotal in this field. The antegrade approach, involving biliary tree puncturing, allows for the validation and treatment of strictures in an antegrade fashion. The EUS-transmural approach involves connecting a tract of the biliary system with the GI tract lumen. Moreover, the EUS-directed transgastric ERCP (EDGE) procedure, combining EUS and ERCP, presents a promising solution after gastric bypass. These advancements hold promise for expanding the horizons of comprehensive and successful biliary drainage interventions, laying the groundwork for further advancements in endoscopic procedures.

Abstract
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients with surgically altered anatomy is technically challenging. For example, scope insertion, selective cannulation, and intended procedures, such as stone extraction or stent placement, can be difficult. Single-balloon enteroscopy (SBE)-assisted ERCP has been used to effectively and safely address these technical issues in clinical practice. However, the small working channel limits its therapeutic potential. To address this shortcoming, a short-type SBE (short SBE) with a working length of 152 cm and a channel of 3.2 mm diameter has recently been introduced. Short SBE facilitates the use of larger accessories to complete certain procedures, such as stone extraction or self-expandable metallic stent placement. Despite the development in the SBE endoscope, various steps have to be overcome to successfully perform such procedure. To improve success, the challenging factors of each procedure must be identified. At the same time, endoscopists need to be mindful of adverse events, such as perforation, which can arise due to adhesions specific to the surgically altered anatomy. This review discussed technical tips regarding SBE-assisted ERCP in patients with surgically altered anatomy to increase success and reduce the risk of adverse events associated with ERCP.

Abstract
PURPOSE Resectional Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RRYGB) is considered an alternative bariatric surgery in countries with a high incidence of stomach cancer because there is no excluded stomach after RRYGB. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of RRYGB. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study included patients who underwent RRYGB and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) between 2011 and 2021. Surgical complications and metabolic and nutritional profiles were compared between the patients preoperatively and at 1, 6, and 12 months after surgery. RESULTS Twenty and seventy-six patients underwent RRYGB and SG, respectively; 7 in the SG group were lost to follow-up within 1 year. Surgical complications and baseline characteristics were comparable between two groups, except for diabetes (90.0% vs. 44.7%, p < 0.001). The decrease of HbA1c levels and incidence of reflux esophagitis were lower in the RRYGB group compared to that of SG at 1-year postoperative (-3.0% vs. -1.8%, p = 0.014; 0% vs. 26.7%, p = 0.027). The percentage of total weight loss at 1- year postoperative and incidence of dumping syndrome were comparable between the two groups. The RRYGB group had significantly lower total cholesterol level (161.9 mg/dl vs. 196.4 mg/dl, p < 0.001), but higher incidence of vitamin B12 deficiency (30.0% vs. 3.6%, p = 0.003) at 1 year postoperative compared to those of the SG group. CONCLUSIONS The RRYGB group had better postoperative outcomes for diabetes and dyslipidemia without increasing surgical complications compared to that of the SG group. Thus, RRYGB can be considered a safe and effective alternative in areas where gastric cancer is prevalent.

[PMID: 36790687 DOI: 10.1007/s10620-023-07854-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2022] [Accepted: 01/26/2023] [Indexed: 02/16/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Surgically altered gastrointestinal (GI) tract anatomy hinders deep enteroscopy. While enteroscopy-assisted endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients with altered GI anatomy has been heavily investigated, the role of non-ERCP balloon-assisted enteroscopy (BAE) has yet to be fully elucidated.Please check and confirm the author names and initials are correct. Also, kindly confirm the details in the metadata are correct.I have checked all you asked and have no correction. Thank you. METHODS A multicenter retrospective study of non-ERCP BAEs in patients with surgically altered GI tract anatomy at two tertiary academic hospitals was performed from January 2006 to December 2020. Altered GI tract anatomy was defined by surgical reconstruction affecting the length, angle, or overall trajectory of the endoscope during the intended approach. The main outcome measurements included technical success rate, diagnostic and therapeutic yields, and complication rate.Please check the edit made in the title of the article and correct if necessary.No more correction. Thank you. RESULTS A total of 68 patients with surgically altered GI tract anatomy underwent 56 antegrade and 24 retrograde non-ERCP BAE procedures. The technical success rate was 86.2% in both, including 83.9% via antegrade approach and 91.7% via retrograde approach. Antegrade approach in Roux-en-Y anatomy was associated with the lowest success rate of 77.8%, whereas retrograde approach in patients with colon resection resulted in the highest rate of 100%. The diagnostic and therapeutic yields of non-ERCP BAE were 79.4% and 82.9%, respectively. The diagnostic yields varied according to the procedural indications. The major complication was luminal perforation in one case (1.3%). CONCLUSIONS Non-ERCP BAE is effective and safe via both antegrade and retrograde approaches with a high technical success rate and diagnostic and therapeutic yields in patients with surgically altered GI tract anatomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND : Motorized spiral enteroscopy (MSE) was recently introduced into clinical practice. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the feasibility and safety of MSE for biliopancreatic interventions in patients with surgically altered anatomy. METHODS : Patients with surgically altered anatomy receiving MSE-assisted ERCP at a single, endoscopy referral center were retrospectively enrolled between January 2016 and June 2021. RESULTS : 36 patients (14 female, 22 male), median age 67 years (range 43-88), with biliary (n = 35) and pancreatic (n = 1) indications for MSE-ERCP, were enrolled. The majority (75.0 %) had relevant comorbidities (American Society of Anesthesiologists class III). Surgical reconstruction included Roux-en-Y (n = 30) and Billroth II (n = 6). Technical success rates for enteroscopy, cannulation, and interventions were 86.1 %, 83.9 %, and 100 %, respectively. The overall MSE-ERCP success rate was 72.2 %. One major complication occurred (2.8 %; delayed post-sphincterotomy bleeding). CONCLUSIONS : This is the first study to demonstrate the feasibility and safety of MSE-assisted ERCP in postsurgical patients with altered anatomy at an expert center. These data justify further evaluation of this new technique, preferably in a prospective multicenter trial.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Although single-balloon enteroscopy (SBE)-assisted or short-type SBE (short SBE)-assisted ERCP has been reported as useful in patients with surgically altered anatomy, most studies had small sample sizes or single-center designs. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and factors affecting the procedure results of short SBE-assisted ERCP in patients with surgically altered anatomy. METHODS This multicenter, retrospective study was conducted at 8 tertiary referral care centers in Japan. The data of patients who underwent ERCP-related procedures using short SBE between September 2011 and August 2019 at each facility were analyzed. RESULTS Overall, 1318 patients were included in this analysis. The enteroscopy (reaching the target site), cannulation, and total procedural success rates were 87.9% (95% confidence interval [CI], 86.1%-89.6%), 87.0% (95% CI, 84.9%-88.8%), and 74.9% (95% CI, 72.5%-77.2%), respectively. Adverse events occurred in 7.7% of patients (95% CI, 6.4%-9.3%). Multiple logistic regression analysis indicated that age (≥75 years), Roux-en-Y reconstruction, pancreatic indication, and malignancy were factors affecting the total procedural failure. CONCLUSIONS This large-scale study proved that short SBE-assisted ERCP in patients with surgically altered anatomy was effective. Moreover, it clarified factors affecting procedure results. Proficiency with alternative treatment techniques is required in difficult cases. (Clinical trial registration number: UMIN00004045.).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients with surgically altered anatomy is technically difficult. Extensive training is required to develop the ability to perform this procedure. AIMS To investigate the learning curve of single-balloon-assisted enteroscopy ERCP (SBE-ERCP). METHODS We conducted a retrospective, observational case series at a single center. We evaluated the SBE-ERCP procedures between April 2011 and February 2021. The main outcomes were the rate of reaching the target site and the success rate of the entire procedure. These parameters were additionally expressed as a learning curve. RESULTS A total of 687 SBE-ERCP procedures were analyzed. The learning curve was analyzed in blocks of 10 cases. In this study, seven endoscopists, experts in conventional ERCP, were included. The overall SBE-ERCP procedural success rate was 92.2% (634/687 cases). Combining all data from individual endoscopists' evaluation periods, the insertion and success rates of the SBE-ERCP procedures gradually increased with increased experience performing SBE-ERCP. The insertion success rates for the number of SBE-ERCP cases (< 20, 21-30, > 30) were 82.9%, 92.9%, and 94.3%, respectively; the procedure success rates were 74.3%, 81.4%, and 92.9%, respectively. The endoscopists who had performed > 30 SBE-ERCP cases had a success rate of ≥ 90%. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that performing > 30 cases is one of the targets for conventional ERCP experts to become competent in performing SBE-ERCP in patients with a surgically altered anatomy.

Abstract
Morbidly obese and post-bariatric surgery patients are at increased risk for
biliary stones formation. The complications related to biliary stones may impose
complexity on their management. This study aimed to review the management of
biliary conditions in obese and bariatric patients. In this study, a narrative
review was performed of the medical, surgical, and endoscopic procedures for the
management of biliary stones and their related complications. Knowing the main
prophylactic and therapeutic interventions options is essential for clinicians
to properly manage the biliary stones in patients candidates or submitted to
bariatric surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients with surgically altered anatomy is still challenging. Usefulness of single-balloon enteroscopy (SBE)-assisted ERCP has been increasingly reported. Short SBE is considered beneficial with a 152-cm working length and a 3.2-mm working channel. This has increased the variety of devices that can be used during ERCP procedures. The aim of this pooled analysis was to evaluate the efficacy of SBE-assisted ERCP in patients with surgically altered anatomy and elucidate the current status. METHODS This systematic review only involved biliary interventions which excluded pancreatic cases. Studies involving SBE-assisted ERCP in patients with Roux-en-Y gastrectomy, hepaticojejunostomy with Roux-en-Y, pancreaticoduodenectomy (Whipple or Child procedure), or Billroth II gastrectomy were analyzed. Enteroscopy, biliary cannulation, and procedural success were assessed by pooling data in a random-effect model, according to the degree of heterogeneity, to obtain a proportion with 95% confidence interval (CI). The outcomes observed for conventional and short SBE cases were also reported. RESULTS Overall, 1227 SBE-assisted ERCP procedures from 21 studies were included. The pooled enteroscopy, biliary cannulation, and procedural success rates were 86.6% (95% CI, 82.4-90.3%), 90% (95% CI, 87.1-92.5%), and 75.8% (95% CI, 71.0-80.3%), respectively. Adverse events occurred in 6.6% (95% CI, 5.3-8.2%) of the procedures. Although good outcomes were reported for short SBE-assisted ERCP, these should not be directly compared to the outcomes observed for conventional SBE, as they assume different backgrounds and include confounding variables. CONCLUSIONS Single-balloon enteroscopy-assisted ERCP in patients with surgically altered anatomy on biliary interventions is effective.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Anatomical post-surgical alterations of the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract have always been challenging for performing diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy, especially when biliopancreatic diseases are involved. Esophagectomy, gastrectomy with various reconstructions and pancreaticoduodenectomy are among the most common surgeries causing upper GI tract alterations. Technological improvements and new methods have increased the endoscopic success rate in these patients, and the literature has been rapidly increasing over the past few years. The aim of this systematic review is to identify evidence on the available biliopancreatic endoscopic techniques performed in the altered post-surgical anatomy of upper GI tract. Materials and Methods: We performed a systematic search of PubMed, MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, and SCOPUS databases. Study-level variables extracted were the last name of the first author, publication year, study design, number of patients, type of post-surgical anatomical alteration, endoscopic technique, success rate and endoscopic-related adverse events. Results: Our primary search identified 221 titles, which was expanded with studies after the citation search. The final full-text review process identified 52 articles (31 retrospective studies, 8 prospective studies and 13 case reports). We found several different techniques developed over the years for biliopancreatic diseases in altered anatomy, in order to perform both endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). They included enteroscopy-assisted ERCP (double and single balloon enteroscopy-ERCP, spiral enteroscopy-ERCP) laparoscopic assisted ERCP, EUS-Directed transgastric ERCP, EUS-directed transgastric intervention, gastric access temporary for endoscopy, and percutaneous assisted trans prosthetic endoscopic therapy. The success rate was high (most of the techniques showed a success rate over 90%) and a low rate of adverse events were reported. Conclusions: We suggest the considerationof the novel techniques when approaching patients with altered anatomy who require biliopancreatic endoscopy, focusing on the surgery type, success rate and adverse events reported in the literature.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIM Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is the gold standard for the treatment of biliary obstruction of any etiology. However, cannulation failure of the common bile duct (CBD) by ERCP occurs in 5-10%. Alternatives after a failed ERCP are re-ERCP by an expert endoscopist, percutaneous transhepatic cholangio drainage (PTCD), (balloon) enteroscopy-assisted ERCP, or surgery. Endoscopic ultrasonography-guided drainage of the bile ducts (EUS-BD) is becoming the standard of care in tertiary referral centers for cases of failed ERCP in patients with malignant obstruction of the CBD. In expert hands, EUS-guided biliary drainage has excellent technical/clinical success rates and lower complication rates compared to PTCD. Despite the successful performance of EUS-BD in malignant cases, its use in benign cases is limited. The aim of this study (design, systematic prospective clinical observational study on quality assurance in daily clinical practice) was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of EUS-BD in benign indications. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with cholestasis and failed ERCP were recruited from a prospective EUS-BD registry (2004-2020). One hundred and three patients with EUS-BD and benign cholestasis were extracted from the registry (nTotal = 474). Indications of EUS-BDs included surgically altered anatomy (n = 65), atypical bile duct percutaneous transhepatic cholangio orifice at the duodenal junction from the longitudinal to the horizontal segment (n = 1), papilla of Vater not reached due to the gastric outlet/duodenal stenoses (n = 6), papilla that cannot be catheterized (n = 24), and proximal bile duct stenosis (n = 7). The primary endpoint was technical and clinical success. Secondary endpoints were procedure-related complications during the hospital stay. RESULTS 103 patients with EUS-BD and benign cholestasis were extracted from the registry (nTotal=474). Different transluminal access routes were used to reach the bile ducts: transgastric (n = 72/103); -duodenal (n = 16/103); -jejunal (n = 14/103); combined -duodenal and -gastric (n = 1/103). The technical success rate was 96 % (n = 99) for cholangiography. Drainage was not required in 2 patients; balloon dilatation including stone extraction was sufficient in 17 cases (16.5 %; no additional or prophylactic insertion of a drain). Transluminal drainage was achieved in n = 68/103 (66 %; even higher in patients with drain indication only) by placement of a plastic stent (n = 29), conventional biliary metal stents (n = 24), HotAXIOS stents (n = 5; Boston Scientific, Ratingen, Germany), Hanaro stents (n = 6; Olympus, Hamburg, Germany), HotAXIOS stents and plastic stents (n = 1), HotAXIOS stents and metal stents (n = 1) and metal stents and plastic stents (n = 2). Techniques for stone extraction alone (nSuccessful=17) or stent insertion (nTotal = 85; nSuccessful=85 - rate, 100 %) and final EUS-BD access pathway included: Rendezvous technique (n = 14/85; 16.5 %), antegrade internal drainage (n = 20/85; 23.5 %), choledochointestinostomy (n = 7/85; 8.2 %), antegrade internal and hepaticointestinostomy (n = 22/85; 25.9 %), hepaticointestinostomy (n = 21/85; 24.7 %), choledochointestinostomy and hepaticointestinostomy (n = 1/85; 1.2 %).The complication rate was 25 % (n = 26) - the spectrum comprised stent dislocation (n = 11), perforation (n = 1), pain (n = 2), hemorrhage (n = 6), biliary ascites/leakage (n = 3) and bilioma/liver abscess (n = 3; major complication rate, n = 12/68 - 17.6 %). Re-interventions were required in 19 patients (24 interventions in total). DISCUSSION EUS-BD can be considered an elegant and safe alternative to PTCD or reoperation for failed ERCP to achieve the necessary drainage of the biliary system even in underlying benign diseases. An interventional EUS-based internal procedure can resolve cholestasis, avoid PTCD or reoperation, and thus improve quality of life. Due to the often complex (pathological and/or postoperative) anatomy, EUS-BD should only be performed in centers with interventional endoscopy/EUS experience including adequate abdominal surgery and interventional radiology expertise in the background. This enables adequately adapted therapeutic management in the event of challenging complications. It seems appropriate to conduct further studies with larger numbers of cases to systematize the approach and peri-interventional management and to successively develop specific equipment.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Hepatobiliary complications are common in Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) patients. Despite development of multiple surgical and endoscopic access techniques over the years, ERCP using standard duodenoscope remains challenging in these patients due to the altered anatomy. RECENT FINDINGS Limited success with enteroscope-assisted and laparoscope-assisted ERCP led to the evolution of the novel EUS-directed transgastric ERCP (EDGE) procedure, with variations of this technique termed as Gastric Access Temporary for Endoscopy (GATE), EUS-guided TransGastric ERCP (EUS-TG-ERCP), EUS-guided GastroGastrostomy-assisted ERCP (EUS-GG-ERCP), and EUS-directed transgastric intervention (EDGI). EDGE has high technical (100%) and clinical success rates (60-100%), lower adverse event rate (1.5-7.6%), and up to 20% access stent migration rate; without any significant weight changes. EDGE has significantly shorter procedure time (73vs184min), post-procedural hospital stays (0.8vs2.65 days) and is more cost effective compared to other modalities. EDGE technique addresses the challenges of RYGB anatomy as a minimally invasive, clinically successful, fully endoscopic, and cost-effective option. We present a literature review of the EDGE technique from its inception to current, in addition to reviewing other access techniques, their advantages, disadvantages and outcomes.

Recent Advances of Interventional Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography and Endoscopic Ultrasound for Patients with Surgically Altered Anatomy. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10081624. [PMID: 33921247 PMCID: PMC8070513 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10081624] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2021] [Revised: 04/08/2021] [Accepted: 04/09/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is considered to be the gold standard for diagnosis and interventions in biliopancreatic diseases. However, ERCP in patients with surgically altered anatomy (SAA) appears to be more difficult compared to cases with normal anatomy. Since the production of a balloon enteroscope (BE) for small intestine disorders, BE had also been used for biliopancreatic diseases in patients with SAA. Since the development of BE-assisted ERCP, the outcomes of procedures, such as stone extraction or drainage, have been reported as favorable. Recently, an interventional endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), such as EUS-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD), has been developed and is available mainly for patients with difficult cases of ERCP. It is a good option for patients with SAA. The effectiveness of interventional EUS for patients with SAA has been reported. Both BE-assisted ERCP and interventional EUS have advantages and disadvantages. The choice of procedure should be individualized to the patient’s condition or the expertise of the endoscopists. The aim of this review article is to discuss recent advances in interventional ERCP and EUS for patients with SAA.

Abstract
There is an increasing demand and availability of bariatric surgery, with a range of procedures performed, some leading to altered upper gastrointestinal anatomy. The patient population undergoing bariatric surgery is also at increased risk of gallstones and biliary stone disease. Endoscopy (ie, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography) is the cornerstone of management of biliary stone disease, but may be challenging after bariatric surgery. In this review the endoscopic, surgery assisted, or percutaneous options that may be considered are discussed, based on the details of surgical anatomy and available expertise.

Abstract
AIM To investigate feasibility and outcome the novel and favorable option of an endoscopic ultrasonography(EUS)-guided antegrade or even retrograde gall stone extraction via a transhepatic route in patients (pats.) with no option for the usual gold standard, ERCP. MATERIAL/METHODS All consecutive pats. with cholangiolithiasis and surgically altered anatomy of the upper GI tract with and without previous attempts of an ERCP were enrolled in this unicenter case study and were characterized with regard to the technical and clinical success of this approach. RESULTS From 2004 to 03/2020, overall 449 pats. underwent EUS-guided cholangiodrainage (n = 37 pats. with cholangiolithiasis). In 8 of these 37 pats., gall stone extraction was achieved using EUS-ERCP rendezvous technique (not included in the study since there was no surgically altered anatomy of the upper GI tract). In 13 of the remaining 29 subjects (45 %), there was a failure of previous attempts to reach the papilla of Vater or biliodigestive anastomosis using balloon-enteroscopy-guided ERCP. EUS-guided access to the biliary system was achieved in all 29 pats. Stone extraction was performed in 26 individuals (90 %) by means of antegrade push-technique after balloon dilatation of the papilla of Vater and biliodigestive anastomosis, respectively, before. In 11/29 cases (42 %), double pigtail prostheses were subsequently placed to track papilla of Vater/biliodigestive anastomosis ("ring drainage"), which were removed with gastroscopy three months later after previous ultrasound- and lab parameter-based follow-up control. In two pats. (7 %), gall stones were extracted via a retrograde route using a transhepatic access site; in one patient (3 %), stones were removed by means of a combined ante-/retrograde technique. In two subjects (7 %), cholangioscopy with electrohydraulic lithotripsy was used.Technical as well as clinical success rate was 100 % (29 of 29 pats.). Re-interventions became necessary in 6/29 cases (21 %), complications occurred in 6 individuals (21 %). CONCLUSION EUS-guided stone extraction in antegrade or retrograde technique for pats. with surgically altered anatomy of the upper GI tract can be considered a favorable and safe but challenging approach of interventional endoscopy/EUS. It can provide high technical and clinical success and low complication rates; it has the potential to substitute the time-consuming balloon-enteroscopy-guided ERCP as well as, in particular, PTCD and, thus, secundary and tertiary therapeutic alternatives.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Short-type double-balloon endoscope (DBE)-assisted endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) has been developed as an alternative approach for cases with a surgically altered gastrointestinal anatomy. However, this technique is sometimes technically challenging and carries a risk of severe adverse events. AIMS To evaluate the factors affecting the technical success rate and adverse events of DBE-ERCP. METHODS A total of 319 patients (805 procedures) with a surgically altered gastrointestinal anatomy underwent short DBE-ERCP. The factors affecting the technical success rate and adverse events, and the learning curve of the trainees were retrospectively evaluated. RESULTS The technical success rate of all procedures was 90.7%. Adverse events occurred in 44 (5.5%) procedures. A multivariate analysis indicated that Roux-en-Y reconstruction and first-time short DBE-ERCP were factors affecting the technical failure and adverse event rates, while the modified Child method after subtotal stomach-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy reconstruction was a non-risk factor for adverse events. The trainee caseload did not affect the technical success or adverse event rates significantly; however, trainees tended to perform cases involving the modified Child method after subtotal stomach-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy reconstruction. The success rate of scope insertion increased according to experience; however, the overall success rate did not differ to a statistically significant extent. CONCLUSION Short DBE-ERCP was useful and safe for managing cases with a surgically altered anatomy; however, trainees should concentrate on accumulating experience with easy cases, such as those with the modified Child method after subtotal stomach-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy reconstruction or a history of DBE-ERCP.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) on the success of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedures in patients with surgically modified gastrointestinal (GI) tract anatomy. METHODS The medical records of patients who underwent ERCP in the Gastroenterology Department of Kocaeli University School of Medicine hospital between December 2008 and September 2014 were examined. From the patient group that was scheduled to undergo DBE-ERCP, the details of cases in which ERCP via standard duodenoscope or DBE-ERCP was performed during the same session because standard ERCP failed were included. Procedure parameters, outcomes, and complications related to the procedure in both groups were analyzed. Patients who underwent the DBE-ERCP procedure directly, those who underwent push enteroscopy, or gastroscopy to evaluate the GI tract anatomy before the day of ERCP, and who underwent DBE-ERCP on a day other than the initial ERCP session were excluded. Afferent loop intubation, access to the major papilla, selective cannulation, therapeutic success rates, and the effect of DBE on overall procedure success were evaluated. RESULTS Fifty-one patients with a history of BII gastrojejunostomy and 11 patients with hepaticojejunostomy (with or without Roux-en-Y) were included in the study. In all patients, the ERCP procedure was initiated with a standard duodenoscope. If intubation of the afferent loop was unsuccessful in reaching the major papilla or enterobiliary anastomosis, DBE was used. In 30 (48.4%) of the 62 patients whose GI tract was anatomically altered, the duodenoscope was successfully advanced to the ampulla and 27 (43.5%) were cannulated successfully. Thirty-one patients underwent DBE-ERCP. DBE reached the ampulla or enterobiliary anastomosis in 30 patients (96.8%) and selective choledocus cannulation was achieved in all patients but 3 (90%), including 1 patient with a hepaticojejunostomy. The overall ERCP success rate increased from 43.5% (27/62) to 87.1% (54/62). Two perforations (1 during standard duodenoscopy and 1 with DBE-ERCP) were observed. CONCLUSION The overall success rate of ERCP increased with use of the DBE technique in patients with small bowel anatomic variations that were the result of previous surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreaticoduodenectomy (Whipple procedure) is an established surgical procedure for the treatment of carcinoma of the head of the pancreas. Modifications to this procedure include gastropancreaticoduodenectomy, which includes the removal of parts of the pancreas, duodenum, and stomach. Complications of surgery include fistula formation, failure of the anastomosis, and leak of pancreatic enzymes, which can be reduced by stenting the pancreatic duct. This report is of a rare complication of pancreaticoduodenectomy and describes a case of retrograde migration of a pancreatic duct stent into the biliary tract through the orifice of the hepaticojejunostomy. CASE REPORT A 50-year-old man with a history of gastric cancer, underwent gastropancreaticoduodenectomy. Surgery was complicated by displacement of the pancreatic stent to the biliary system, which resulted in postoperative obstructive jaundice and bile leakage from the hepaticojejunostomy between the hepatic duct and the jejunum. An endoscopy was performed and the stent was successfully retrieved. The patient recovered rapidly, the bile leakage resolved, the patient's jaundice resolved, and was discharged home with no further surgical complications. CONCLUSIONS A case is reported of a rare early complication of pancreaticoduodenectomy in a patient with gastric cancer. Endoscopy successfully retrieved the pancreatic duct stent that had migrated into the biliary tract through the orifice of the hepaticojejunostomy.

Abstract
AIM To analyze factors involved in procedural failure and to discuss responses to procedural failure by using the outcomes of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) carried out using a short-type single-balloon enteroscope (short SBE) in patients with surgically altered gastrointestinal anatomy. METHODS The study sample included patients who underwent ERCP-related procedures using a short SBE between September 2011 and September 2018 at our hospital. Outcomes, including procedural success rate, were studied retrospectively to analyze the factors involved in procedural failure. RESULTS Analysis included 191 procedures carried out in 121 patients. Procedural success rate was 85.9% with an adverse event rate of 8.4%. Causes of procedural failure included malignant biliary obstruction (odds ratio [OR] 2.89, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.19-7.25, P = 0.02), first ERCP attempt (OR: 5.32, 95% CI: 1.30-36.30, P = 0.02), and Roux-en-Y reconstruction (OR: 0.08, 95% CI: 0.004-0.39, P < 0.001). With regard to the response to failure, in cases of malignant biliary obstruction, reattempted short SBE-assisted ERCP was difficult because of invasion of the small intestine or papilla. A large number of these cases required alternative treatment (10 of 15 cases, 66.7%) using percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) or endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD). CONCLUSION Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography using a short SBE is safe and effective, with malignant biliary obstruction being a specific cause of failure. Technical proficiency with different modalities, such as PTBD and EUS-BD, is necessary to respond to failure in these cases.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Common bile duct lithiasis after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) or upper gastrointestinal stenosis has become a challenging problem nowadays, especially as obesity surgery is increasing. In this study, we assess the feasibility and performance of laparoscopy-assisted transgastric endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (LAERCP) and describe its technique. METHODS A retrospective review of a prospectively collected database of consecutive patients undergoing a LAERCP between February 2014 and May 2015 was performed at a single institution. Indications were common bile duct lithiasis associated with acute or past episodes of cholangitis and pancreatitis. Endoscopic access to the gastric remnant was obtained laparoscopically. RESULTS In total 5 cases were identified. Four of them had undergone a RYGB and one of them presented a benign esophageal peptic stenosis, not allowing peroral gastric access. Biliary cannulation using LAERCP associated with sphincterotomy and stone extraction was successfully achieved in all patients. Mean duration of the entire procedure was 134minutes (range: 66-200min). No early major complications were observed and the mean postoperative hospital stay was 4 days (range: 2-5 days). CONCLUSIONS LAERCP is a safe and successful procedure for the treatment of common bile duct lithiasis when conventional biliary access is not feasible, notably after RYGB. Larger trials still need to be performed to evaluate efficacy, technical success, and complications related to this technique.

Long-term outcomes after therapeutic endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography using balloon-assisted enteroscopy for anastomotic stenosis of choledochojejunostomy/pancreaticojejunostomy. J Gastroenterol Hepatol 2019; 34:612-619. [PMID: 30650206 DOI: 10.1111/jgh.14605] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2018] [Revised: 01/06/2019] [Accepted: 01/09/2019] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Data on long-term outcomes after therapeutic endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) using balloon-assisted enteroscopy (BAE) for choledochojejunal anastomotic stenosis (CJS) or pancreaticojejunal anastomotic stenosis (PJS) remain limited. We retrospectively assessed the long-term results of patients who achieved clinical success using BAE for CJS and PJS. METHODS Patients who achieved technical and clinical success for CJS or PJS by BAE-ERCP and were followed up for more than 6 months after the initial BAE-ERCP therapy were retrospectively identified at 11 Japanese institutions. The primary end-point was CJS or PJS recurrence rates. The secondary end-points were initial therapy details, initial therapy complications, and CJS or PJS recurrence treatment details. We also evaluated restenosis-associated factors. RESULTS From September 2008 to December 2015, 67 patients (CJS, 61; PJS, six) were included. The overall CJS and PJS recurrence rates were 34.4% and 33.3%, respectively. The 1-year CJS recurrence rate was 18.5% (95% confidence interval, 10.7-31.0). Of all the patients, 88.1% underwent balloon dilation at the anastomotic stenosis site; stent placement was performed in 15 of 67 patients (22.4%). The complication rate was 8.2% in CJS and 0% in PJS. In patients who underwent balloon dilation, "remaining waist" was significantly associated with CJS recurrence after anastomotic balloon dilation (P = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The long-term outcomes of BAE-ERCP were comparable with those of percutaneous transhepatic treatment or surgical re-anastomosis.

Abstract
Background and aims In recent years, the short single-balloon enteroscope (SBE) has been used during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for patients with surgically altered anatomy and has been reported to be useful. However, difficulties remain, and the procedures and devices need improvements. We assessed the usefulness and superiority of a new short SBE equipped with passive bending and high-force transmission by comparisons with outcomes using the conventional short SBE. Methods This study evaluated short SBE-assisted ERCP-related procedures for Roux-en-Y gastrectomy between September 2011 and October 2017. Outcomes including the procedural success rate, which was the primary outcome, were assessed to compare the conventional short SBE (SIF-Y0004 [prototype]) and the new short SBE (SIF-H290S). Results Of 74 procedures performed in 61 patients, 51 procedures in 39 patients involved the SIF-Y0004, and 23 procedures in 22 patients involved the SIF-H290S. The procedural success rates were 70.6 % for SIF-Y0004, and 95.7 % for SIF-H290S, representing better results for the new short SBE ( P = 0.02). The new short SBE also had a superior diagnostic success rate ( P = 0.047) and median time to reach the blind end ( P < 0.001). Conclusions Roux-en-Y gastrectomy patients treated with the new short SBE had better outcomes than those treated with conventional short SBE. More cases need to be studied; however, the new short SBE has the potential to improve ERCP outcomes in patients with surgically altered anatomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The forward-viewing endoscope has been increasingly used to perform endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients who underwent Billroth II gastrectomy. This study intended to assess efficacy and safety of the forward-viewing endoscope for ERCP in Billroth II gastrectomy patients compared with conventional side-viewing endoscope using a systematic review and meta-analysis. METHODS A systematic review was conducted for studies that evaluated the outcomes of ERCP for patients with Billroth II gastrectomy. Random-effect model meta-analyses with subgroup analyses were conducted. The methodological quality of the included publications was evaluated using the risk of bias assessment tool for non-randomized studies. The publication bias was assessed. RESULTS In total, 25 studies (1 randomized, 18 retrospective, 1 prospective, and 5 case series studies) with 2446 patients (499 forward-viewing and 1947 side-viewing endoscopes) were analyzed. The pooled afferent loop intubation rate was higher with the forward-viewing endoscope (90.3%, 95% confidence interval (CI) 85.6-93.6 vs. 86.8%, 95% CI 82.8-89.9%). The pooled selective cannulation rate was higher with the side-viewing endoscope (92.3%, 95% CI 88.0-95.2 vs. 91.1%, 95% CI 87.2-93.9%). The pooled bowel perforation rate was higher with the side-viewing endoscope (3.6%, 95% CI 2.3-5.7 vs. 3.0%, 95% CI 1.7-5.3%). The pooled pancreatitis rate was higher with the forward-viewing endoscope (5.4%, 95% CI 3.6-8.0 vs. 2.5%, 95% CI 2.3-5.7%). The pooled bleeding rate was higher with the forward-viewing endoscope (3.0%, 95% CI 1.6-5.5 vs. 2.0%, 95% CI 1.4-3.0%). The heterogeneity among the studies was not significant. The publication bias was minimal. CONCLUSION This meta-analysis indicates that the forward-viewing endoscope is as safe and effective as conventional side-viewing endoscope for ERCP in patients with Billroth II gastrectomy.

Abstract
The last decade has seen a dramatic rise in the possibilities of therapeutic endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). From EUS fine needle aspiration of cancerous lesion to pseudocyst drainage, it has now not only replaced some of the percutaneous techniques but has permitted to bypass all together laparoscopic approach for patient with altered anatomy or malignant gastric outlet obstruction. This review will emphasize the novel therapeutic EUS procedures added to our arsenal.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS ERCP is challenging in patients with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) anatomy. EUS-guided gastrogastrostomy (GG) creation is a promising novel technique to access the excluded stomach to facilitate conventional ERCP. We aimed to compare procedural outcomes and adverse events (AEs) between EUS-guided GG-assisted ERCP (EUS-GG-ERCP) and enteroscopy-assisted ERCP (e-ERCP) in patients with RYGB. METHODS Patients with RYGB anatomy who underwent EUS-GG-ERCP or e-ERCP between 2014 and 2016 at 5 tertiary centers were included. The primary outcome was technical success of ERCP, defined as successful cannulation of the selected duct with successful intervention as intended. Secondary outcomes included total procedural time (in the EUS-GG group, total procedural time included EUS-GG creation plus ERCP procedure time), length of hospital stay, and rate/severity of AEs graded according to the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy lexicon. RESULTS A total of 60 patients (mean age, 57.2 ± 13.2; 75% women) were included, of whom 30 (50%) underwent EUS-GG-ERCP and 30 (50%) underwent e-ERCP (double-balloon enteroscope ERCP, 19; single-balloon enteroscope ERCP, 11). The technical success rate was significantly higher in the EUS-GG-ERCP versus the e-ERCP group (100% vs 60.0%, P < .001). Total procedure time was significantly shorter in patients who underwent EUS-GG-ERCP (49.8 minutes vs 90.7 minutes, P < .001). Postprocedure median length of hospitalization was shorter in the EUS-GG group (1 vs 10.5 days, P = .02). Rate of AEs was similar in both groups (10% vs 6.7%, P = 1). CONCLUSIONS EUS-GG-ERCP may be superior to e-ERCP in patients with RYGB anatomy in terms of a higher technical success and shorter procedural times and offers a similar safety profile.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gallstone disease is common after bariatric surgery, and patients with bile duct stones in this cohort can be difficult to treat, due to the altered anatomy. This review aims to analyse the various management options available for choledocholithiasis in post-bariatric surgery patients. METHODS A literature search of PubMed, Medline and Cochrane library databases was carried out for studies on this subject, between January 1970 and March 2017. After initial screening and further full text review, suitable studies were identified after applying the inclusion criteria. RESULTS Twenty-nine studies were identified and analysed. Overtube-assisted endoscopy appears to be a popular technique, and 10 studies employing this technique were identified. Though there are minor variations between the three different types of overtube endoscopy, the success rate for ERCP with this approach is between 60 and 70%. Studies using a combination of radiological and endoscopic techniques report a success rate of 60-70%, though the endoscopic ultrasound-guided technique has been reported to have higher success rates (90-100%). Surgery-assisted ERCP also appears to be widely reported and has a consistently high ERCP success rate (80-100%), with an added advantage of the option to perform a concomitant cholecystectomy. There are very few reports on using surgery as the sole option in this scenario. CONCLUSION Both overtube-assisted endoscopy and laparoscopy-assisted ERCP appear to be safe, with good success rates. The other methods may be suitable for selected patients and centres with specific interest in such techniques.

Abstract
PURPOSE Internal stents used during pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) are generally spontaneously passed through the rectum by defecation. However, we encountered six patients with internal stents that migrated into the bile duct after PD. We herein report the outcomes of these six patients and the usefulness of double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) for removal of such stents from the bile duct. METHODS An internal stent was placed across pancreaticojejunostomy in 416 (68.8%) of 605 consecutive patients undergoing PD between 2005 and 2015. This study evaluated the characteristics and outcomes of the six patients whose internal stent migrated into the bile duct. RESULTS Migration of an internal stent into the bile duct was found during follow-up computed tomography (CT) in 6 (1.4%) of 416 patients who had an internal stent placed during PD. Three patients developed stent-induced cholangitis, and two had bile duct stones. Excluding one patient whose internal stent spontaneously slipped out and disappeared from the bile duct, all patients underwent successful removal of a stent from the bile duct by a single instance of biliary intervention involving DBE. CONCLUSIONS Removal of a stent from the bile duct using DBE is a feasible and useful procedure that should be considered if an internal stent is detected during follow-up CT after PD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with double balloon enteroscope (DBE-ERCP) in patients with altered gastrointestinal anatomy in a meta-analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS A comprehensive literature search was conducted on PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane library covering the period from January 2001 to December 2015. Data were selected and abstracted from eligible studies and were pooled using a random-effects model. Heterogeneity was assessed using the I2 test. RESULTS Ten studies involving a total of 301 patients were included in the analysis. The pooled enteroscopy, diagnostic, and therapeutic success rates were 89.75% [95% confidence interval (CI): 79.65-94.30%], 79.92% (95% CI: 68.06-89.59%), and 63.55% (95% CI: 53.70-72.86%), respectively. DBE-ERCP-related complications occurred in 18 patients including perforation (5), pancreatitis (3), cholangitis (9), and bleeding (1). The incidence of DBE-ERCP-related complication was 6.27% (95% CI: 2.61-11.38%). CONCLUSION Diagnostic and therapeutic DBE-ERCPs are feasible in patients with altered gastrointestinal anatomy. DBE-ERCP may be considered when pancreaticobiliary diseases occur in patients undergoing Roux-en-Y reconstruction or pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Abstract
AIM To examine the utility of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) on biliopancreatic diseases in the patients with Billroth II-reconstructed stomach.
METHODS For 26 cases of biliopancreatic diseases in patients with Billroth II-reconstructed stomach, ERCP was conducted using a straight-view scope or a retrograde oblique-viewing endoscope. All the cases were patients aiming at selective insertion into the bile duct. One patient aimed at diagnosis, and 25 patients aimed at treatment. The cases in which the endoscope reached the duodenal papilla and anastomosis, and insertion into the bile duct became possible, were considered successful.
RESULTS The rate of reaching the duodenal papilla and anastomosis was 84.7% (22/26 patients). Among the cases without reaching the duodenal papilla and anastomosis, there were 2 in which the endoscope did not pass due to tumor-induced duodenal infiltration. In 1 case, the fiber did not reach the duodenal papilla due to long afferent loop. The success rate of insertion into the bile duct in patients in which the endoscope reached the duodenal papilla and anastomosis was 90.9% (20/22 patients), and the success rate of procedures including treatment was 86.3% (19/22 patients). After treatment, mild cholangitis was observed in 1 patient (4.5%, 1/22 patients) but relieved conservatively. No other accidental symptom was observed.
CONCLUSION It was considered that the ERCP for biliopancreatic diseases in patients with Billroth II-reconstructed stomach will become a less invasive, safe and useful examination and treatment approach.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the utility and safety of a short-type double-balloon endoscope (DBE) in the treatment of biliary disease in patients with surgically altered gastrointestinal (GI) anatomy. METHODS This study was conducted as a multicenter, single-arm, prospective trial at five tertiary academic care centers and three community-based hospitals in Japan. Consecutive patients with biliary disease with altered GI anatomy were prospectively included in this study. RESULTS A total of 311 patients underwent double-balloon endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERC). The success rate of reaching the target site, the primary end point, was 97.7% (95% confidence interval (CI): 95.4-99.1). The success rate of biliary cannulation and contrast injection of the targeted duct, the secondary end point, was 96.4% (95% CI: 93.6-98.2), and the therapeutic success rate was 97.9% (95% CI: 95.4-99.2). Adverse events occurred in 33 patients (10.6%, 95% CI: 7.1-14.0) and were managed conservatively in all patients with the exception of 1 in whom a perforation developed, requiring emergency surgery. CONCLUSIONS ERC using a short-type DBE resulted in an excellent therapeutic success rate and a low rate of adverse events. This treatment can be a first-line treatment for biliary disease in patients with surgically altered GI anatomy.

Abstract
Background/Aims Performing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients who have undergone Rouxen-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is challenging. Standard ERCP and enteroscopy-assisted ERCP are associated with limited success rates. Laparoscopy- or laparotomy-assisted ERCP yields improved efficacy rates, but with higher complication rates and costs. We present the first multicenter experience regarding the efficacy and safety of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-directed transgastric ERCP (EDGE) or EUS. Methods All patients who underwent EDGE at two academic centers were included. Clinical success was defined as successful ERCP and/or EUS through the use of lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS). Adverse events related to EDGE were separated from ERCP- or EUS-related complications and were defined as bleeding, stent migration, perforation, and infection. Results Sixteen patients were included in the study. Technical success was 100%. Clinical success was 90% (n=10); five patients were awaiting maturation of the fistula tract prior to ERCP or EUS, and one patient had an aborted ERCP due to perforation. One perforation occurred, which was managed endoscopically. Three patients experienced stent dislodgement; all stents were successfully repositioned or bridged with a second stent. Ten patients (62.5%) had their LAMS removed. The average weight change from LAMS insertion to removal was negative 2.85 kg. Conclusions EDGE is an effective, minimally invasive, single-team solution to the difficulties associated with ERCP in patients with RYGB.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Roux-en-Y reconstructions can be divided into intact papilla of Vater and bilioenteric anastomosis (BEA) with respect to endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERC). Double-balloon enteroscopy-assisted ERC (DBE-ERC) may produce different results between the two populations but lacks studies. MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty-seven patients with Roux-en-Y anastomosis undergoing 73 procedures of DBE-ERC were enrolled between July 2007 and August 2013. There were 14 patients with intact papilla of Vater (group A) and 33 patients with BEA (group B). The effectiveness of DBE-ERC, including data of reaching the blind end, performance of ERC, results of endoscopic therapies, and follow-up were retrospectively analyzed and compared between the two groups. RESULTS For reaching the blind end, the success rate was not different between the groups (85.7% vs. 81.8%, p = 0.7), but the mean procedure time was significantly shorter for group A (28 min vs. 52 min, p = 0.01). For ERC, the success rate was not different between the groups (91.7% vs. 96.3%, p = 0.53), but the mean procedure time was significantly longer for group A (28.4 min vs. 4 min, p < 0.001). All endoscopic therapies could be successfully performed in both groups. No group A patients and five (23.8%) group B patients developed recurrent biliary stricture/stones requiring interventions during a mean follow-up period of 26.1 months. CONCLUSIONS DBE-ERC was effective for both populations with biliary disorders. Reaching the blind end was more difficult but ERC was easier for patients with BEA in terms of procedure time rather than success rates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Performing ERCP in patients with previous pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is technically challenging. Balloon-assisted ERCP has recently been recognized as a useful tool in patients with surgically altered anatomies. However, there are few studies that focus on ERCP in post-PD patients. AIM This study aimed to evaluate the outcome of ERCP in patients in post-PD and the patterns for type of endoscopes used. METHODS Patients with previous PD who had undergone ERCP were included in this retrospective study. RESULTS One hundred and thirty ERCP procedures were performed on 47 post-PD patients. The overall success of ERCP was 82.3 % (107/130). Endoscope insertion to the pancreaticobiliary anastomoses was accomplished in 93.8 % (122/130), which resulted in successful completion of ERCP in 87.7 % (107/122) of the procedures: 89.5 % (94/105) in biliary indications and 76.5 % (13/17) in pancreas indications. Using the conventional endoscopes (CEs) led to ERCP success in 66.4 % (71/107) of attempts versus 78.3 % (36/46) with balloon-assisted enteroscopes (BAEs). Among 105 cases in which CEs were initially tried, ERCP was successful in 69 (65.7 %) cases with CEs alone. When CEs failed to reach the pancreaticobiliary anastomoses, the subsequent use of BAEs resulted in a successful ERCP in 16/19 (84.2 %) of attempts. CONCLUSIONS ERCP in post-PD patients can be performed with a high success rate. We recommend that CEs should be used initially for ERCP in patients with PD and that BAEs be reserved for situation in which CEs have failed to reach the pancreaticobiliary anastomoses.

Abstract
ERCP in surgically altered anatomy requires the endoscopist to fully understand the procedural goals and the reconstructed anatomy before proceeding. Altered anatomy presents a variety of challenges unique to enteroscopy, and others related to accessing the biliary or pancreatic duct from unusual orientations. Both side-viewing and forward-viewing endoscopes, as well as single and double balloon techniques, are available for ERCP in these settings. Endoscope selection largely depends on the anatomy and length of reconstructed intestinal limbs. Endoscopist experience with performing ERCP in surgically altered anatomy is the most important factor for determining outcomes and success rates.

Abstract
Patients with altered anatomy such as a Roux-en-Y anastomosis often present with various pancreaticobiliary problems requiring therapeutic intervention. However, a conventional endoscopic approach to the papilla is very difficult owing to the long afferent limb and acute angle of a Roux-en-Y anastomosis. Balloon-assisted enteroscopy can be used for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients with altered anatomy. We experienced six cases of Roux-en-Y anastomosis with biliary problems, and attempted ERCP using single balloon enteroscopy (SBE). SBE insertion followed by replacement with a conventional endoscope was attempted in five of six patients. The papilla was successfully approached using SBE in all cases. However, therapeutic intervention was completed in only three cases because of poor maneuverability caused by postoperative adhesion. We conclude that in patients with Roux-en-Y anastomosis, the ampulla can be readily accessed with SBE, but longer dedicated accessories are necessary to improve this therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgically altered pancreaticobiliary anatomy increases the difficulty of performing ERCP. Single-balloon enteroscopy (SBE) is a relatively new technique that can be used for ERCP in patients with surgically altered anatomy. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the therapeutic and diagnostic success of SBE-ERCP among patients with surgically altered anatomy. DESIGN/SETTING Systematic review and meta-analysis of studies involving SBE-ERCP in patients with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, hepaticojejunostomy, or Whipple procedure. Enteroscopy success was defined as success in reaching the papilla and/or biliary anastomosis by using SBE. Diagnostic success was defined as obtaining a cholangiogram. Procedural success was defined as the ability to provide successful intervention, if appropriate. A random-effects model was used. RESULTS A total of 461 patients underwent SBE-ERCP from 15 trials. The pooled enteroscopy, diagnostic, and procedural success rates were 80.9% (95% confidence interval [CI], 75.3%-86.4%), 69.4% (95% CI, 61.0%-77.9%), and 61.7% (95% CI, 52.9%-70.5%), respectively. There was statistical large heterogeneity for enteroscopy, diagnostic, and therapeutic success (P < .001 for all). Adverse events occurred in 6.5% (95% CI, 4.7%-9.1%) of patients. There was no evidence of publication bias in this meta-analysis. LIMITATIONS Our findings and interpretations are limited by the quantity and heterogeneity of the studies included in the analysis. CONCLUSION SBE-ERCP has high diagnostic and procedural success rates in this challenging patient population. It should be considered a first-line intervention when biliary access is required after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, hepaticojejunostomy, or Whipple procedure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM There have been few reports on the success rate of balloon dilation and stent deployment using endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography by double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE-ERCP) or on the follow-up period after stent removal in patients with a reconstructed digestive tract and stenosis of choledochojejunal anastomosis. The present study was designed to evaluate the usefulness of DBE-ERCP in patients with a reconstructed digestive tract and stenosis of choledochojejunal anastomosis. METHODS Forty-four patients with stenosis of choledochojejunal anastomosis underwent DBE-ERCP at Okayama University Hospital between April 2008 and January 2012 (107 procedures). Rates of reaching choledochojejunal anastomosis, stent deployment, and restenosis after stent removal were retrospectively evaluated. RESULTS Insertion of DBE into the choledochojejunal anastomotic site succeeded in 38 of 44 patients (86.4%), and anastomotic dilation and stent deployment succeeded in 36 of 44 patients (81.8%). In 32 of 44 patients (72.7%), their anastomotic stenoses were improved, and they achieved stent removal. After stent removal, restenosis of choledochojejunal anastomosis was detected in seven of 32 patients; however, the resolution of restenosis was achieved in all seven of those patients. CONCLUSION Dilation of choledochojejunal anastomosis combined with stent deployment using DBE-ERCP seems to be a viable first-line treatment for patients with stenosis of choledochojejunal anastomosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is technically more challenging in patients who have undergone gastrointestinal (GI) reconstruction. AIMS The aim of this study was to evaluate the utility of the anterior oblique-viewing endoscope (AOE) for ERCP in patients with a retained major duodenal papilla after GI reconstruction. METHODS This was a retrospective study involving 40 patients (50 procedures) with a retained papilla after GI reconstruction who underwent ERCP using AOE. Reconstruction consisted of Billroth II gastrectomy (BII) in 25 patients (30 procedures) and Roux-en-Y anastomosis (RY) in 15 patients (20 procedures). In RY cases, the long single-balloon enteroscope (LSBE) was exchanged with AOE after reaching the papilla. RESULTS The overall rate of reaching the papilla using AOE was 90.0 % (45/50) [BII; 86.7 % (26/30), RY; 95.0 % (19/20)]. The overall rate of biliary cannulation was 97.8 % (44/45) [BII; 100 % (26/26), RY; 94.7 % (18/19)], and the rate of biliary cannulation for intact papilla was 96.6 % (28/29) [BII; 100 % (14/14), RY; 93.3 % (14/15)]. Treatment success rate in cases of successful biliary cannulation was 97.7 % (43/44) [BII; 100 % (26/26), RY; 94.4 % (17/18)]. The rate of adverse events was 6.0 % (3/50) [BII; 3.3 % (1/30), RY; 10.0 % (2/20)], with mild pancreatitis occurring in 3 cases. CONCLUSIONS High biliary cannulation and treatment rates can be achieved during ERCP using AOE in altered GI anatomy cases with a retained papilla, as long as the papilla can be reached. In RY cases, exchanging AOE with LSBE is useful after reaching the papilla.

Clin Res Hepatol Gastroenterol 2014; 38:513-9. [PMID: 24560303 DOI: 10.1016/j.clinre.2014.01.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2013] [Revised: 12/08/2013] [Accepted: 01/03/2014] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of adult colonoscopy or single-balloon enteroscopy (SBE)-assisted endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in long-limb surgical bypass patients. METHODS Retrospective analysis of 16 patients with long-limb surgical bypasses who underwent therapeutic ERCP because of suspected pancreaticobiliary diseases. Small-bowel intubation was performed by peroral adult colonoscopy or SBE. If colonoscopy success was achieved, ERCP was performed subsequently. But in patients using SBE, a small-caliber colonoscope would be used to replace enteroscope if the SBE success was achieved. ERCP was then performed with the conventional accessories. RESULTS A total of 21 ERCP procedures were performed. Adult colonoscope was used for ERCP in 8 patients with standard Whipple resection consecutively. Colonoscopy success was achieved in 8 of 8 patients (100%), of whom 7 of 8 (87.5%) achieved ERCP success. SBE-assisted ERCP was attempted in other 8 patients with different types of Roux-en-Y anatomy. SBE success was achieved in 7 of 8 patients (87.5%), of whom 4 of 7 (57.1%) achieved ERCP success. The overall success rate of endoscopy and ERCP was 93.8% (15/16) and 68.8% (11/16), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Adult colonoscopy has high success rate for performing ERCP after Whipple resection and should be selected for such patient preferentially. By using the facilitated method for endoscopic interventions at pancreaticobiliary disease after Roux-en-Y reconstruction, SBE-assisted ERCP can be attempted when it is difficult to gain access to the papilla of Vater or bilioenteric/pancreaticoenteric anastomosis and long length ERCP accessories cannot be available.

Abstract
The results of lifestyle interventions and pharmacotherapy are disappointing in severe obesity which is characterised by premature death and many obesity-associated co-morbidities. Only surgery may achieve significant and durable weight losses associated with increased life expectancy and improvement of co-morbidities. Bariatric surgery involves the gastrointestinal tract and may therefore increase gastrointestinal complaints. Bariatric surgery may also result in complications which in many cases can be solved by endoscopic interventions. This requires a close cooperation between surgeons and endoscopists. This chapter will concentrate on the most commonly performed operations such as the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, the adjustable gastric banding and the sleeve gastrectomy, in the majority of cases performed by laparoscopy. Operations such as the vertical banded gastroplasty and the biliopancreatic diversion with or without duodenal switch will not be discussed at length as patients with these operations will not be encountered frequently and their management can be found under the headings of the other operations.
