Single-session EUS-directed Transgastric ERCP with a Dedicated Over-the-scope Fixation Device: A Feasibility Study.

This article, published in the journal Endoscopy, explores the feasibility of a single-session EUS-directed Transgastric ERCP (EDGE) using a dedicated over-the-scope fixation device. The study conducted a retrospective analysis of 11 consecutive EDGE procedures performed with the Stentfix device. The primary outcome was the migration of the stent, and the key secondary outcomes included adverse events and technical success. The results showed no stent migrations, a technical success rate of 90.9%, and one reported adverse event of postprocedural pain. The study suggests that the use of a dedicated over-the-scope stent fixation device can prevent stent migration during the same-session EDGE procedure. [Extracted from the article]
