Objective: To analyse the pertinent risk factors associated with post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography pancreatitis (PEP) and develop a predictive scoring system for assessing the risk of PEP in patients undergoing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedures.
Study Design: Descriptive study. Place and Duration of the Study: Department of Gastroenterology, Nantong First People's Hospital, Jiangsu, China, from January 2022 to January 2023.

We read with interest the Editorial from Vila et al. on the paradigm shift for endoscopic biliary drainage of malignant distal biliary obstruction (MDBO) which places Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) drainage as the first option instead of traditional ERCP drainage. The modern biliary endoscopist must have the duodenoscope in one hand and the therapeutic echoendoscope in the other.

Background And Aims: Definitive peroral endoscopic treatment of pancreaticobiliary pathology in patients with surgically altered anatomy has recently been made more feasible by the use of lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS) to create bowel-to-bowel anastomoses. We aim to demonstrate 4 cases of non–gastric bypass Roux-en-Y anatomy for which an enteroenterostomy was created under EUS guidance to facilitate complex peroral ERCP.
Methods: Akin to EUS-directed transgastric ERCP, the approach to EUS-directed transenteric ERCP involves identification and expansion of the target bowel before transmural puncture and stent placement.

Objective: The aim of the study is to evaluate the role of sublingual nitrate in improving vessel visualization on peripheral computed tomography angiography (CTA).
Methods: Fifty patients clinically diagnosed with peripheral arterial disease of the lower limb were prospectively included in this study: Twenty-five underwent CTA after sublingual nitrate administration (nitrate group) and 25 without (non-nitrate group). Two blinded observers qualitatively and quantitatively assessed the data thus generated.
