Background & Aims: Few prospective studies have assessed the safety of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in elective endoscopy. Our primary aim was to compare the risks of endoscopy-related gastrointestinal bleeding and thromboembolic events in patients on DOACs or vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) in this setting. Secondarily, we examined the impact of the timing of anticoagulant resumption on the risk of delayed bleeding in high-risk therapeutic procedures.

Aim: to analyze the long term recurrence free survival rate after ESD and to compare recurrence rates according to different variables.
Introduction: endoscopic submucosal dissection for gastric lesions (ESD-G) is a technique that allows en-bloc resection of early gastric tumors, with a cure rate similar to that of surgery but lower morbidity and mortality rates.
Objective: to assess total survival, disease-free survival and relapse rate during the course of disease in a Spanish cohort of patients undergoing ESD-G.
Material And Methods: this was a prospective observational study of patients undergoing ESD-G from 2008 to 2015, with a follow-up ranging from six to 60 months.
Introduction: endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is a highly useful technique for the diagnosis and management of different gastrointestinal (GI) tract conditions.
Objective: to prospectively assess the clinical usefulness of a novel forward-viewing echoendoscope (FV-CLA).
Methods: this was a cross-sectional observational study.
Introduction: Variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) can trigger acute hypoxic hepatitis (AHH). The aim of this study was to analyse the incidence, associated risk factors and mortality of AHH after variceal UGIB.
Patients And Methods: Retrospective study of cirrhotic patients with variceal UGIB, classified into 2 groups according to the development of AHH.
