RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) guided drainage is considered the best option for peripancreatic fluid collections drainage. There are no previous reports in our country of this type of endoscopic therapy. OBJECTIVES: To detail the characteristics, efficacy and safety of EUS-guided drainage of peripancreatic fluid collections at Edgardo Rebagliati Martins National Hospital. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We carried out a retrospective cross-sectional study of all patients who underwent EUS-guided drainage of symptomatic peripancreatic fluid collections. Demographics, procedure-related endosonographic features and devices used were analyzed. We assessed the effectiveness with technical and clinical success rate. Clinical safety was assessed based on major immediate and delayed adverse events. Basic descriptive statistics was used. RESULTS: A total of 17 patients (9 women, 52.9% and 8 men, 47.1%) with peripancreatic fluid collections (10 pseudocysts and 7 walled-off necrosis) underwent EUS-guided drainage. The median age of the patients was 59 years (range 26 - 72 years). The mean diameter of the fluid collections was 14.8 cm (range 8-24 cm). Transgastric route was used in 16 cases (94.1%) and transduodenal route in 1 case (5.9%). Plastic stent (6 cases), biliary self expanding metal stent (4 cases) and lumen apposing stent (7 cases) were used. The technical success rate was 100% (17 patients), while clinical success rate was 70.6% (12 patients). Adverse events occurred in 41.2%: infection (2 cases), perforation, bleeding, plastic stent occlusion, stent migration into the collection cavity and out of the collection cavity (1 case each one). Surgical management of adverse events was necessary in 3 cases, while the 4 other cases only required medical - endoscopic management. CONCLUSIONS: EUS-guided drainage of peripancreatic fluid collections have a high technical and clinical success rate with a low percentage of adverse events.

BACKGROUND: In recent years there has been an increase in the use of self-expanding metallic stents (SEMS) in patients with unresectable malignant stenosis of the bile duct. However, in Peru there are no reports on the safety and efficacy of this procedure. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the use of SEMS in the palliative management of malignant stenosis of the bile duct. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Retrospective cohort. All patients referred for placement of biliary SEMS as part of a palliative treatment between January 2016 and August 2018 were included. Rates of successful placement of SEMS, adequate palliation of the obstruction, and complications associated with the procedure were obtained. The patency of the prosthesis was evaluated during follow-up. Survival was determined after placement of the prosthesis. RESULTS: We included 32 patients with indication of palliative management due to an unresectable malignant stenosis of the bile duct. Pancreatic cancer (56.25%) followed by cholangiocarcinoma (31.25%) were the most frequent etiologies. A successful first-time placement rate of 96.97% was achieved. Adequate palliation of biliary obstruction was achieved in 100% of patients (p<0.05). Two SEMStc migrated during follow-up (6.25%) being managed with the placement of a new SEMSuc. CONCLUSIONS: The placement of SEMS is a safe and effective therapeutic strategy in the palliative management of patients with malignant obstruction of the biliary tract.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to report the initial experience of the combined use of biliary sphincterotomy plus balloon dilatation of the papilla for management of large stones. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Design: Retrospective, descriptive. This study included 18 patients in whom a hydrostatic dilatation of the papilla with large balloons was performed between June 2012 and April 2014. Patients had multiple large stones, tapered distal common bile duct, previous sphincterotomy, or peri/ intradiverticular papilla. CRE™ dilatation balloons with diameters ranging from 12 to 20 mm were used. Data were recorded as successful procedure, use of lithotripsy and complications during the procedure. RESULTS: The average age was 66.1 years. There was a predominance of the female gender (66.7%). The average size of the bile duct stones was 16.7 mm. The main indications were: giant choledocholithiasis (12 patients, 66.7%) and tapered distal common bile duct (6 patients, 33.3%). The dilatation balloons diameter used were: 15 mm (8 patients, 44.4%), 18 mm (5 patients, 27.8%), 12 mm (3 patients, 16.7%) and 20 mm (2 patients, 11.1%). Complete stone clearance was achieved in 15 patients (83.3%). Lithotripsy was performed in 4 patients (22.2%). There were 3 patients in whom the removal with balloon was unsuccessful, performed surgical management. It was reported 1 case of mild acute pancreatitis (5.5%). CONCLUSIONS: The results show that endoscopic papillary large balloon dilation after sphincterotomy is a safe and effective technique for treatment of difficult bile duct stones.

INTRODUCTION: Visceral hypersensitivity has been proposed as a biological marker of Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the pain perception during sigmoidoscopy using a visual analog scale of pain in patients with or without IBS, and to assess the pain perception as diagnostic criteria for IBS. We further assessed the sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic efficiency of pain scores to diagnose IBS. METHODS: A prospective case-control study in patients who underwent sigmoidoscopy for the evaluation of gastrointestinal symptoms. All patients completed Rome III criteria questionnaires and divided into two groups: IBS and non-IBS. All participants reported pain scores on visual analog scales after of study. Differences were evaluated. We calculated a receiver-operator characteristic curve (ROC), sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic efficiency. RESULTS: We analyzed 20 patients with IBS and 20 controls. The pain scores were higher in IBS patients compared with non-IBS patients (median, 52.5 vs. 27.5, p = 0.006). The area under the curve was 0.84, at pain score level of ≥ 40 mm with a sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic efficiency of 85%, 75% and 80%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The degree of pain perception was higher in IBS patients than in non-IBS patients during sigmoidoscopy. A score of pain perception in ≥ 40 mm may predict the diagnosis of IBS with good sensitivity (85%) and specificity (75%).

RESUMEN Introducción: El drenaje guiado por ecoendoscopía es considerado como la mejor opción para el drenaje de las colecciones liquidas peripancreáticas. No hay reportes en nuestro medio de la experiencia en esta terapia endoscópica. Objetivos: detallar las características, eficacia y seguridad de los drenajes ecoendoscópicos de las colecciones liquidas peripancreáticas en el Hospital Nacional Edgardo Rebagliati Martins. Material y métodos: se realizó un estudio transversal retrospectivo de todos los pacientes con colecciones liquidas peripancreáticas sintomáticas sometidos a drenaje ecoguiado. Se analizaron variables demográficas, características ecoendoscópicas asociadas al procedimiento terapéutico y dispositivos empleados. La eficacia se evaluó con la tasa de éxito técnico y de éxito clínico. La seguridad se evaluó en base a las principales complicaciones inmediatas y posteriores. Se empleó estadística descriptiva básica. Resultados: Se realizaron 17 drenajes ecoguiadas de colecciones peripancreáticas (10 pseudoquistes y 7 necrosis pancreáticas encapsuladas o WON) en 17 pacientes: 9 mujeres (52,9%) y 8 hombres (47,1%). El rango de edad de los pacientes fue de 26-72 años, con una mediana de 59 años. El tamaño promedio de las colecciones liquidas fue 14,8 cm con un rango de 8-24 cm. El acceso transgástrico se empleó en 16 casos (94,1%) y el acceso transduodenal en 1 caso (5,9%). Se empleó prótesis plástica (6 casos), prótesis metálica autoexpandibles (SEMS) biliar (4 casos) y prótesis de aposición luminal (LAMS) en 7 casos. El éxito técnico fue del 100% (17 pacientes), mientras que el éxito clínico fue de 70,6% (12 pacientes). Las complicaciones ocurrieron en 41,2%: infección de colección (2 casos), perforación, sangrado en zona de drenaje, obstrucción de prótesis plástica, migración de prótesis al interior de colección y al lumen gástrico (1 caso cada uno). El manejo quirúrgico de éstas complicaciones fue necesaria en 3 casos, mientras que en los otros 4 casos solo requirió manejo médico - endoscópico. Conclusiones: los drenajes guiados por ecoendoscopía de las colecciones liquidas peripancreáticas tienen alta tasa de éxito técnico y clínico con reducido porcentaje de complicaciones.

Antecedentes: En los últimos años se ha producido un incremento del uso de prótesis metálicas autoexpandibles (SEMS) en pacientes con estenosis malignas irresecables de la vía biliar. Sin embargo, en Perú no se cuentan con reportes sobre la seguridad y eficacia de este procedimiento. Objetivo: Evaluar la seguridad y eficacia del uso de las SEMS en el manejo paliativo de las estenosis malignas de la vía biliar. Materiales y métodos: Cohorte retrospectiva. Se incluyeron a todos los pacientes referidos para colocación de SEMS biliar como parte de un tratamiento paliativo entre enero del 2016 y agosto del 2018. Se obtuvieron las tasas de colocación exitosa de las SEMS, de paliación adecuada de la obstrucción y de complicaciones asociadas al procedimiento. Se evaluó la patencia de la prótesis durante el seguimiento. Se determinó la supervivencia luego de la colocación de la prótesis. Resultados: Se incluyeron 32 pacientes con indicación de manejo paliativo debido a una estenosis maligna irresecable de la vía biliar. El cáncer de páncreas (56,25%) seguido del colangiocarcinoma (31,25%) fueron las etiologías más frecuentes. Se alcanzó una tasa de colocación exitosa en primera intención de 96,97%. La paliación adecuada de la obstrucción biliar se alcanzó en el 100% de los pacientes (p<0,05). Dos SEMStc migraron durante el seguimiento (6,25%) siendo manejados con la colocación de una nueva SEMSnc. Conclusiones: La colocación de SEMS constituye una estrategia segura, con alta tasa de éxito terapéutico en el manejo paliativo de los pacientes con obstrucción maligna de la vía biliar.

INTRODUCCIÓN: ante la ausencia de medidas objetivas para realizar el diagnóstico de Síndrome de Intestino Irritable (SII) se plantea el uso de la hipersensibilidad visceral como marcador biológico de la enfermedad. OBJETIVO: evaluar la percepción de dolor durante la sigmoidoscopia flexible mediante el uso de una escala analógica visual del dolor en pacientes con SII, además de valorar la percepción del dolor como criterio diagnóstico de ayuda al SII mediante la sensibilidad, especificidad y eficiencia diagnóstica de un valor de corte. METODOLOGÍA: se realizó un estudio prospectivo, tipo casos y controles, en pacientes con indicación para estudio sigmoidoscópico con y sin SII, para valorar la percepción del dolor después del examen mediante el empleo de una escala analógica visual. Se evaluaron las diferencias y se confeccionó una curva ROC, además de establecer la sensibilidad, especificidad y eficiencia diagnóstica. RESULTADOS: Se analizaron 20 pacientes con SII y 20 controles. El score de percepción del dolor fue mayor en los pacientes SII comparados con los pacientes no SII (mediana, 52.5 vs 27.5, p=0.006). El área bajo la curva fue de 0.84, determinándose un punto de corte en ≥ 40mm con una sensibilidad, especificidad y eficiencia diagnóstica de 85%, 75% y 80% respectivamente. CONCLUSIONES: Los pacientes con SII experimentan mayor percepción del dolor durante la sigmoidoscopia. Un valor de percepción del dolor en ≥ 40mm puede predecir el diagnóstico del SII con una buena sensibilidad (85%) y especificidad (75%).

La enfermedad por citomegalovirus (CMV) es una importante causa de morbilidad en inmunosuprimidos por el Virus de la Inmunodeficiencia Adquirida (VIH). Presentamos a un hombre de 43 años con insuficiencia renal, en hemodiálisis, con varias transfusiones por anemia, que presentó una enfermedad de tres meses, caracterizada por epigastralgia a predominio nocturno que calmaba con antiácidos. Conjuntamente presento llenura, vómitos y baja de peso (18 Kg). Al examen palidez, adenopatías en cuello y región inguinal, epigastrio doloroso a la palpación profunda. Los exámenes mas destacados fueron: Hb:10mg/ml, VCM:83.5, Leucocitos: 7000, Linfocitos: 1715, eritrosedimentación 49mm/h, Thevenonnegativo ( heces) y la presencia de Giardia lamblia en heces. El estudio para Elisa-HIV y el Western-Blot fueron positivos. IgG para CMV y Herpes (I y II) positivos; el IgM para los mismos negativo. La endoscopia mostró al esófago tapizado por placas blanquecinas compatibles con candidiasis; a nivel del cuerpo gástrico se observó una grande lesión ulcerada (45 x 21 mm), profunda, bordes definidos y lecho blanquecino. La biopsia mostró fondo y borde de úlcera con células citomegálicas con inclusiones virales intranucleares y citoplasmáticas, con inmunohistoquímica se confirmó la presencia del CMV. Recibió ganciclovir mejorando, luego inició terapia antirretroviral (TARGA) contra el VIH.
Cytomegalovirus infection is an important cause of morbidity in immunosupressed patients with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). In this paper we present a 43 years old manwith renal failure under hemodialysis, several blood transfusions because of anemia and three months of disease characterized by epigastric pain, specially at nights, ameliorated with antacid drugs. Other symptoms were early satisfy, vomits and weigh loss (18Kg). At clinical exam, the patient was pallid, presented adenopathies at cervical and inguinal regions and had a pain at epigastric region in profound touch palpation. The most importantexams were HB: 10mg/dl, CMV: 83.5, leukocytes 7000, lymphocytes: 1715, erythrocyte sedimentation rate 49mm/h, thevenon test (-), and Giardia lamblia trophozoites in stools. The studies demonstrated the patient was seropositive for HIV and the tests for IgG CMV and IgG Herpes virus resulted seropositives too. At endoscopy the esophagus mucosa was covered by a white plaque which suggests candida infection. In the stomach, over the bodygastric, we found a big and deep ulcerated lesion (45x41mm), with defined rims and white fund. Biopsy from the edges of the gastric ulcer had the characteristic CMV intranuclearand intracytoplasmic inclusions; we confirmed the diagnosis by immunohystochemistry. The patient receives ganciclovir an then HAART and is getting well.
