Management of ERCP-related perforation: a large multicenter study.
Gastrointest Endosc
December 2024
Background And Aims: Perforation is a rare but serious adverse event associated with ERCP. There is no consensus to guide clinicians in the management of ERCP-related duodenal perforations, making it difficult to determine whether surgical or endoscopic treatment is optimal. The present study retrospectively evaluated the characteristics and clinical outcomes of patients who experienced ERCP-related duodenal perforations according to the mechanism of injury.

- *Methods*: Researchers analyzed mesenteric lymph nodes in lupus model mice to identify specific bacteria and their connection to autoantibody production using various laboratory techniques.
- *Results*: The study found that the bacterium Lactobacillus murinus was linked to heightened anti-dsDNA IgG levels in lupus mice, and its ABC transporter was identified as a cross-reactive antigen that could trigger antibody production in SLE.
Serum trypsin as an early predictor of post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography pancreatitis.
J Hepatobiliary Pancreat Sci
December 2024
Article Synopsis
- -* This study investigates the role of serum trypsin (TRY) levels in predicting post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP), alongside other pancreatic enzymes like amylase (AMY) and lipase (LIP).
- -* It involved 130 patients who underwent ERCP, measuring their enzyme levels right after the procedure and two hours later, finding that both 0 h-TRY and 2 h-TRY had better diagnostic abilities for PEP compared to AMY and pancreatic amylase (P-AMY).
- -* The results suggest that measuring serum TRY levels immediately after ERCP can effectively predict the risk of developing PEP, with a notable increase in TRY levels observed.
Background: Few studies have compared endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided hepaticogastrostomy (HGS) with EUS-guided antegrade metal stent placement (AGMS). The purpose of this study was to compare times to recurrent biliary obstruction (TRBO) in patients who underwent HGS using metal stents (MS) and those who underwent AGMS keeping access routes with plastic stents (AGMS-AR).
Methods: This study retrospectively evaluated consecutive patients who underwent HGS or AGMS between September 2016 and December 2022.
