Abstract

Objectives: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) represents the gold standard for jaundice palliation in patients with distal malignant biliary obstruction (DMBO). Biliary drainage using electrocautery lumen apposing metal stent (EC‐LAMS) is currently a well‐established procedure when ERCP fails. In a palliative setting the endoscopic ultrasound‐guided gallbladder drainage (EUS‐GBD) could represent an easy and valid option. We performed a prospective study with a new EC‐LAMS with the primary aim to assess the clinical success rate of EUS‐GBD as a first‐line approach to the palliation of DMBO. Methods: In all, 37 consecutive patients undergoing EUS‐GBD with a new EC‐LAMS were prospectively enrolled. Clinical success was defined as bilirubin level decrease >15% within 24 h and >50% within 14 days after EC‐LAMS placement. Results: The mean age was 73.5 ± 10.8 years; there were 17 male patients (45.9%). EC‐LAMS placement was technically feasible in all patients (100%) and the clinical success rate was 100%. Four patients (10.8%) experienced adverse events, one bleeding, one food impaction, and two cystic duct obstructions because of disease progression. No stent‐related deaths were observed. The mean hospitalization was 7.7 ± 3.4 days. Median overall survival was 4 months (95% confidence interval 1–8). Conclusion: Endoscopic ultrasound‐guided gallbladder drainage with the new EC‐LAMS is a valid option in palliative endoscopic biliary drainage as a first‐step approach in low survival patients with malignant jaundice unfit for surgery. A smaller diameter EC‐LAMS should be preferred, particularly if the drainage is performed through the stomach, to avoid potential food impaction, which could result in stent dysfunction.

Abstract

Background/Aims: The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of self-expanding metal stents (SEMS) in the management of post-surgical esophageal leaks. Methods: Retrospective data of consecutive patients with a post-surgical esophageal leak treated by means of a metal stent between January 2008 and December 2014 at the Humanitas Research Hospital (Milan, Italy) were extracted from a prospectively maintained register of SEMS used for benign indications, such as post-surgical benign esophageal strictures and/or leaks. The primary outcome of the study was to assess the rate of successful leak closure and to identify the variables associated with its achievement. As a secondary outcome, we evaluated the overall safety of SEMS placement and the efficacy and safety for different types of SEMS in this specific setting of patients. Leak resolution was documented with endoscopic and/or imaging studies. In the case of leak persistence, further attempts of esophageal stenting were carried out at the discretion of both endoscopists and surgeons. Results: A total of 49 patients were included in the study (men 41 of 49, 83.7%, mean age 62.4 ± 11.9). One patient was excluded from analysis, because of death 1 day after stent insertion due to worsening of pre-existing mediastinitis. A total number of 82 stents were placed (mean number of stents per patient: 1.7) in 49 patients: 35 patients (71.4%) received a partially covered SEMS (PCSEMS) as the first stent positioned, while the remaining 14 (28.6%) received a fully covered SEMS (FCSEMS); but 1 patient (2%) died following stent insertion; therefore, data regarding therapeutic success were available for 48 patients. Stents were left in place for a mean period of 21.9 ± 15.2 days. Leak closure after the first stent placement was achieved in 22 of 48 (45.8%) patients. Of the 26 patients with failure of index stent placement, 18 patients underwent further stenting attempts (69.2%), and secondary closure of leak was achieved in 7 (38.9%) of these 18 patients. Thus, the overall success rate was 60.5% (29 of 48). On the basis of stent type, the success rate was 57.1% (8 of 14) for FCSEMS and 64.7% (22 of 34) for PCSEMS. Logistic regression analysis did not find any significant association between successful leak closure and analyzed variables. Overall mortality was 13.0%. Complication rate was 38.8% (19 of 49 patients). Conclusion: The use of SEMS is an effective and safe option for post-surgical esophageal leaks, with no evidence of any significant influence of stent type on outcome. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Background: It has been suggested that Helicobacter pylori infection might reduce the risk of atopic conditions, such as asthma, in childhood. This risk reduction could relate to the “hygiene hypothesis” which proposes an association between childhood exposure to microbes and risk of atopy. Objectives: To examine the association between Hp infection and childhood acquired asthma in Sardinia. Patients and Methods: Children from Northern Sardinia who were between the ages of 10 months to 6 years and were screened for Hp infection in 1994-1995 using IgG serology, were asked in 2012, whether they had developed asthma and/or allergic disease in pediatric age, using the global initiative on asthma guidelines questionnaire. Results: A total of 64 children participated in the study. The sero-positivity for Hp infection was 14.1%. Eleven (17.2%) children had a confirmed diagnosis of asthma with onset before the age of 5 years, 85.9% were Hp negative and 14.1% Hp positive. Eight children of the 53 without asthma were Hp positive (15%) compare to one children positive for the infection of the 11 patients (0.09%) with asthma (8/53 vs. 1/11; P = 0.6). The majority of children (73%) were from urban areas and 43.8% had a family history of asthma or allergies. Multiple logistic regression analysis was not able to find a studied variable, including Hp infection, significantly associated with pediatric asthma. Conclusions: Our results speak against Hp infection itself playing a role to protect from the risk to develop childhood asthma although household hygiene was not directly assessed.
