The Baveno VII consensus, released in 2023, recommends that the endoscopic treatment of choice for managing bleeding gastric varices (GV) is endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided treatment, specifically EUS-guided cyanoacrylate (CYA) glue injection. This approach has been endorsed due to its efficacy in controlling bleeding while reducing rebleeding rates, compared to other endoscopic techniques. Despite its efficacy, CYA injection for GV has been linked to rare but serious adverse events, such as glue embolization leading to pulmonary embolism, infection/bacteremia, splenic infarction, intra-procedural and post-procedural complications.

First of all, I would like to congratulate Vilas-Boas on an interesting publication. In this letter the authors write about very interesting topics in the management of patients with malignant gastric outlet obstruction (GOO). GOO developed in up to 20% of patients with advanced hepatopancreatobiliary disease both in benign and malignant form.

Robotic-Assisted Minimally Invasive Resection of Multiple Oesophageal Schwannomas: A Case Report.

Department of Upper Gastrointestinal and Hepatobiliary Surgery, Monash Health, Melbourne, AUS.

Schwannomas are rare, benign tumours arising from Schwann cells, with oesophageal cases representing a small fraction. Their variety of symptoms and nonspecific imaging features often make preoperative diagnosis challenging, frequently requiring immunohistochemical staining for confirmation. We describe the case of a 62-year-old woman with progressive dysphagia, found to have a subepithelial mass at the gastroesophageal junction (GOJ).

This case report highlights the diagnostic challenges in distinguishing between metastatic peritoneal mesothelioma with duodenal involvement and synovial sarcoma of the duodenum, two rare and complex entities. A 59-year-old woman presented with nonspecific abdominal symptoms, and imaging revealed a heterogeneous lesion between the right hepatic lobe and duodenum. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided biopsy and subsequent histopathological analysis initially suggested synovial sarcoma, but further examination, including a FISH assay, confirmed the diagnosis of malignant peritoneal mesothelioma.

Advances in minimally invasive treatment of malignant obstructive jaundice.

Department of Outpatient, Puer People's Hospital, Puer 665000, Yunnan Province, China.

Malignant obstructive jaundice (MOJ) encompasses a range of diseases stemming from malignant tumors such as cholangiocarcinoma, pancreatic cancer, and primary liver cancer, among others, which cause obstruction in both intra- and extra-hepatic bile ducts. This obstruction may lead to elevated bilirubin levels, hepatic function impairment, and a low rate of successful surgical resection in clinical settings. There are various minimally invasive treatment options for MOJ, including endoscopic biliary drainage, ultrasound-guided procedures, and percutaneous biliary tract puncture drainage.
