Partial Balloon Deflation for Controlled Withdrawal of Single Balloon Enteroscopy

Abstract

Abstracts S101respectively. Of those individuals with HIDA scans ordered, only 18.5% were deemed appropriate (20.0% for bile leak, 12.7% for acute cholecystitis, and 22.0% for biliary colic). When scans were ordered inappropriately, subsequent management changes occurred in only 8.15% of these patients. Conclusion: Th e vast majority of inpatient HIDA scans are inappropriately ordered, adding to cost of care while adding no clinical benefi t. In patients with biliary tract signs and symptoms, following consensus guidelines can help the clinician decide on the most appropriate imaging work-up and avoid unnecessary testing.

A quarter century of EUS-FNA: Progress, milestones, and future directions

“…Results of studies using n-CLE have been very promising, and in the future, nCLE may be used routinely for diagnosing pancreatic cysts as an adjunct to conventional EUS-FNA. [ 213 222 223 ] Novel vascular patterns have been described, and a classification of nCLE patterns of pancreatic cystic lesions was established, facilitating their diagnosis. [ 224 ] nCLE was found to be safe and feasible with high technical success.…”

The role of endoscopic ultrasound in pancreatic cancer screening

“…The presence of villous structures on nCLE imaging is pathognomic for IPMN despite nondiagnostic histology. [ 79 80 ] Imaging of solid pancreatic lesions with EUS-guided nCLE is promising but needs more work. Combining nCLE with molecular markers such as cathepsin E may help predict which cysts or lesions in HRIs are likely to behave aggressively to need interventions such as surgery.…”
