ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: The gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is the most common esophageal disease in medical practice, and it is suspected according to patients' symptoms. GERD can be classified in erosive esophagitis (EE) according to the presence of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy findings. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate endoscopic findings in patients with symptoms suggestive of GERD comparing epicemiological and risk factors. METHODS: Upper endoscopy reports were examined retrospectively from patients with symptoms of GERD such as heartburn, regurgitation, cough, throat clearing, globus and chest pain. EE was determined based on Los Angeles classification. Comparisons between risk factors in EE and non-EE groups were done with statistical analysis. RESULTS: A total of 984 endoscopic reports were examined and 676 selected for analysis (281 with EE and 395 with non-EE form). Most were female 381 (56.36%) with a mean age of 44.01±15.40 years. Hiatal hernia was present in 47(6.96%) and smoking in 41(6.07%). Univariate logistic regression showed that male (OR=2.24, CI 95%, 1.63-3.06) and hiatal hernia (OR=4.52, CI 95%, 2.30-8.89) were independent predictors of erosions in the EE group. The presence of hiatal hernia (OR=12.04, CI 95%, 3.57-40.62), smoking (OR=8.46, CI 95%, 3.28-31.32) and aged patients (OR=8.01, CI 95%, 2.42-26.49) were also indicated as a risk factor for severe EE (grades C and D of Los Angeles). CONCLUSION Male gender and hiatal hernia were associated with EE. Aged patients, smoking and hiatal hernia were related to severe EE. It is suggested that the risk factors for EE and non-EE types are different. Cohort studies are necessary to identify the exact mechanisms involved in each disease form.


RESUMO CONTEXTO: A doença do refluxo gastroesofágico (DRGE) é uma das doenças digestivas mais comuns na prática médica e deve ser suspeitada de acordo com os seus sintomas clínicos, podendo ser classificada em esofagite erosiva (EE) de acordo com os achados de endoscopia. OBJETIVO: Avaliar os achados endoscópicos em pacientes com sintomas sugestivos de DGRE comparando fatores de risco e epidemiológicos. MÉTODOS: Resultados de endoscopias digestiva foram examinados retrospectivamente de pacientes com sintomas relacionados com DRGE como pirose, regurgitação, tosse, pigarro, globus e dor torácica. EE foi determinada de acordo com a classificação de Los Angeles. Comparação de fatores de risco entre os grupos EE e não-EE foram feitos com análise estatística. RESULTADOS: Um total de 984 endoscopias foram examinadas e 676 endoscopias selecionadas para análise (281 com EE e 395 sem EE). A maioria dos pacientes era do sexo feminino 381 (56,36%) com uma idade média de 44,01±15,40 anos. Hérnia hiatal esteve presente em 47 (6,96%) e tabagismo em 41 (6,07%). Regressão logística uni variada mostrou que sexo masculino (OR=2,24 - IC 95%: 1,63-3,06) e hérnia hiatal (OR=4,52 - CI 95%: 2,30-8,89) foram fatores de risco independentes de EE. A presença de hérnia hiatal (OR=12,04 - CI 95%: 3,57-40,62), tabagismo (OR=8,46 - CI 95%: 3,28-31,32) e pacientes idosos (OR=8,01 - CI 95%, 2,42-26,49) foram fatores de risco no grupo de EE grave (classes C e D de Los Angeles). CONCLUSÃO: Sexo masculino e hérnia hiatal foram associados com EE. Idade avançada, tabagismo e hérnia hiatal foram relacionados à forma grave de EE. É sugerido que os fatores de risco de pacientes com e sem EE sejam diferentes. Estudos de coorte são necessários para identificar os mecanismos exatos envolvidos em cada forma da doença.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: One of the most feared complications with the use of cyanoacrylate for treatment of gastric varices is the occurrence of potentially life-threatening systemic embolism. Thus, endoscopists are turning towards new techniques, including endoscopic coiling, as a potentially safer and more effective treatment option. However, no studies have been performed comparing the two techniques. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to compare the safety and efficacy of endoscopic ultrasound guided coil and cyanoacrylate injection versus the conventional technique of injection of cyanoacrylate alone. DESIGN: A pilot randomized controlled trial. METHODS: Patients randomized into group I were treated with coil and cyanoacrylate, and those in group II with cyanoacrylate alone. Flow within the varix was evaluated immediately after the treatment session and one month following initial treatment. If thrombosis was confirmed, additional follow-up was performed 4 and 10 months following initial treatment. All patients underwent a thoracic computerized tomography scan after the procedure. RESULTS: A total of 32 patients, 16 in each group, were followed for an average of 9.9 months (range 1-26 months). Immediately after the procedure, 6 (37.5%) group-I patients and 8 (50%) group-II patients presented total flow reduction in the treated vessel (P=0.476). After 30 days, 11 (73.3%) group-I patients and 12 (75%) group-II patients were found to have varix thrombosis. In both groups, the majority of patients required only one single session for varix obliteration (73.3% in group I versus 80% in group II). Asymptomatic pulmonary embolism occurred in 4 (25%) group-I patients and 8 (50%) group-II patients (P=0.144). No significant difference between the groups was observed. CONCLUSION: There is no statistical difference between endoscopic ultrasound guided coils plus cyanoacrylate versus conventional cyanoacrylate technique in relation to the incidence of embolism. However, a greater tendency towards embolism was observed in the group treated using the conventional technique. Both techniques have similar efficacy in the obliteration of varices. Given the small sample size of our pilot data, our results are insufficient to prove the clinical benefit of the combined technique, and do not yet justify its use, especially in light of higher cost. Further studies with larger sample size are warranted.


RESUMO CONTEXTO: Uma das complicações mais temidas com o uso de cianoacrilato para tratamento de varizes gástricas é a ocorrência de embolia sistêmica potencialmente fatal. Assim, os endoscopistas estão se aprimorando com novas técnicas, incluindo o uso de coils endoscópico, como uma opção de tratamento potencialmente mais segura e eficaz. No entanto, nenhum estudo foi realizado comparando as duas técnicas. OBJETIVO: Este estudo tem como objetivo comparar a segurança e eficácia da injeção de coil com cianoacrilato guiados por ultrassom endoscópico versus a técnica convencional de injeção de cianoacrilato. DESIGN: Um ensaio piloto controlado aleatoriamente. MÉTODOS: Os pacientes randomizados para o grupo I foram tratados com coil + cianoacrilato e os do grupo II apenas com cianoacrilato. O fluxo dentro da variz foi avaliado imediatamente após a sessão de tratamento e um mês após o tratamento inicial. Se a trombose foi confirmada, o acompanhamento adicional era realizado em 4 e 10 meses após o tratamento inicial. Todos os pacientes foram submetidos a uma tomografia computadorizada torácica após o procedimento. RESULTADOS: Um total de 32 pacientes, 16 em cada grupo, foram acompanhados por uma média de 9,9 meses (variação de 1-26 meses). Imediatamente após o procedimento, 6 (37,5%) pacientes do grupo I e 8 (50%) pacientes do grupo II apresentaram redução total do fluxo no vaso tratado (P=0,476). Após 30 dias, 11 (73,3%) pacientes do grupo I e 12 (75%) pacientes do grupo II apresentaram trombose da variz. Em ambos os grupos, a maioria dos pacientes necessitou de apenas uma única sessão para obliteração da variz (73,3% no grupo I versus 80% no grupo II). Embolia pulmonar assintomática ocorreu em 4 (25%) pacientes do grupo I e em 8 (50%) pacientes no grupo II (P=0,144). Nenhuma diferença significativa entre os grupos foi observada. CONCLUSÃO Apesar de não haver diferença estatística entre os dois grupos em relação à incidência de embolia neste estudo piloto, observou-se maior tendência de embolia no grupo tratado pela técnica convencional.

ABSTRACT

Endoscopic hemostasis is the first-line treatment for upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB). Although several factors are known to be risk factors for rebleeding, little is known about the use of antithrombotics. We tried to verify whether the use of antithrombotics affects rebleeding rate after a successful endoscopic hemostasis for peptic ulcer disease (PUD). UGIB patients who underwent successful endoscopic hemostasis were included. Rebleeding was diagnosed when the previously treated lesion bled again within 30 days of the initial episode. Of 522 UGIB patients with PUD, rebleeding occurred in 93 patients (17.8%). The rate of rebleeding was higher with aspirin medication (P=0.006) and after a long endoscopic hemostasis (P<0.001). Of all significant variables, procedure time longer than 13.5 min was related to the rate of rebleeding (OR, 2.899; 95% CI, 1.768-4.754; P<0.001) on the logistic regression analysis. The rate of rebleeding after endoscopic hemostasis for PUD is higher in the patients after a long endoscopic hemostasis. Endoscopic hemostasis longer than 13.5 min is related to rebleeding after a successful endoscopic hemostasis for PUD.

ABSTRACT

Bleeding from gastric varices is generally more severe than bleeding from esophageal varices, although it occurs less frequently. Recently, new endoscopic treatment options and interventional radiological procedures have broadened the therapeutic armamentarium for gastric varices. This review provides an overview of the classification and pathophysiology of gastric varices, an introduction to current endoscopic and interventional radiological management options for gastric varices, and details of a practical approach to endoscopic variceal obturation using N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Dieulafoy lesions are an important cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of endoscopic treatment for these lesions and to identify the possible predictive factors for rebleeding associated with clinical and endoscopic characteristics. METHODS: Records from 44 patients admitted with Dieulafoy bleeding between January 2006 and December 2007 were reviewed. We retrospectively analyzed the clinical and endoscopic findings and then correlated the rebleeding risk factors with Dieulafoy lesions. RESULTS: Primary hemostasis was achieved by endoscopic treatment in 39 patients (88.6%). There were no significant differences between the rebleeding and non-rebleeding groups with respect to age, gender, initial hemoglobin levels, presence of shock, concurrent disease, location of bleeding, or initial hemostatic treatment methods. However, the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or anticoagulants (p=0.02) and active stages in the Forrest classification (p<0.01) were risk factors for rebleeding after endoscopic therapy. CONCLUSIONS: Endoscopic therapy is effective and safe for treating Dieulafoy lesions, and it has both short- and long-term benefits. Early identification of risk factors such as the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or anticoagulants and the Forrest classification of bleeding predict the outcome of Dieulafoy lesions.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Gastric antral vascular ectasia is a disorder whose pathogenetic mechanism is unknown. The endoscopic treatment with argon plasma coagulation has been considered one of the best endoscopic therapeutic options. AIM: To analyze the endoscopic and clinical features of gastric antral vascular ectasia and its response to the argon plasma coagulation treatment. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Eighteen patients were studied and classified into two groups: group 1 - whose endoscopic aspect was striped (watermelon) or of the diffuse confluent type; group 2 - diffuse spotty nonconfluent endoscopic aspect. RESULTS: Group 1 with eight patients, all having autoimmune antibodies, but one, whose antibodies were not searched for. Three were cirrhotic and three had hypothyroidism. All had gastric mucosa atrophy. In group 2, with 10 patients, all had non-immune liver disease, with platelet levels below 90.000. Ten patients were submitted to argon plasma coagulation treatment, with 2 to 36 months of follow-up. Lesions recurred in all patients who remained in the follow-up program and one did not respond to treatment for acute bleeding control. CONCLUSION: There seem to be two distinct groups of patients with gastric antral vascular ectasia: one related to immunologic disorders and other to non-immune chronic liver disease and low platelets. The endoscopic treatment using argon plasma coagulation had a high recurrence in the long-term evaluation.


RACIONAL: "Watermelon stomach" ou ectasia vascular do antro gástrico é uma doença de etiopatogenia desconhecida. O tratamento endoscópico através da coagulação com plasma de argônio é considerado uma das melhores opções terapêuticas. OBJETIVO: Analisar os aspectos clínicos e endoscópicos da ectasia vascular do antro gástrico e a resposta ao tratamento com coagulação com plasma de argônio. PACIENTES E MÉTODOS: Dezoito pacientes foram estudados e classificados em dois grupos: grupo I - oito pacientes que exibiam ectasia vascular do antro gástrico de aspecto difuso confluente ou estriado. Grupo II - 10 pacientes que apresentavam aspecto difuso pontilhado não-confluente. RESULTADOS: Todos os pacientes do grupo I apresentavam auto-anticorpos, exceto um paciente no qual não foi pesquisado. Três eram cirróticos, três tinham hipotireoidismo e todos apresentavam gastrite atrófica. No grupo II, todos tinham doença hepática não-autoimune, com plaquetas menores que 90.000. Dez pacientes foram submetidos a tratamento com coagulação com plasma de argônio, com 2 a 36 meses de seguimento. A ectasia vascular do antro gástrico recorreu em todos os pacientes que continuaram em acompanhamento e um paciente não respondeu ao tratamento para controle de sangramento agudo. CONCLUSÃO: Observou-se a existência de dois grupos distintos de pacientes com ectasia vascular do antro gástrico: um grupo associado a distúrbios imunológicos e outro com doença hepática não auto-imune e plaquetopenia. O tratamento com coagulação com plasma de argônio apresentou alta recurrência das ectasias vasculares.

ABSTRACT

Antecedentes: En la hemorragia digestiva alta (HDA), la endoscopia digestiva alta (EDA) constituye un examen de diagnóstico de importancia fundamental. Objetivos: Evaluar en que medida la EDA contribuyó eficazmente a definir conductas y detener la hemorragia, y comparar los resultados de esta experiencia con los de la literatura. Material y Método: Estudio retrospectivo. 100 pacientes consecutivos internados a partir de junio de 1997 por HDA con compromiso hemodinámico. Todos fueron sometidos a una EDA en las primeras 24 hs de la manifestación inicial del sangrado. En los casos sin diagnóstico y en los que el hallazgo endoscópico correspondió a un sangrado activo o reciente, se efectuó una segunda endoscopia dentro de las 48 hs. La evolución de los pacientes se evaluó en función de tres variables: el resangrado, la necesidad de cirugía y la mortalidad. Resultados: En el 32 por ciento de los casos el diagnóstico del primer estudio fue modificado por los estudios ulteriores, y de los 8 pacientes en los que la primera endoscopía no fue diagnóstica, se produjo resangrado en 4 y fallecieron 2. De los 19 pacientes tratados por vía endoscópica por hemorragia no varicosa, se produjo resangrado en 5 (26 por ciento), mientras que en 15 pacientes sin tratamiento endoscópico, el resangrado fue del 33,3 por ciento (p=0,850). En total se produjo resangrado o persistencia en 24 pacientes, se operaron 13 de ellos como urgencia, y de éstos 2 fallecieron (15,2 por ciento). Por el contrario, hubo 11 pacientes con resangrado o persistencia no operados, en ellos la mortalidad fue del 45 por ciento (p=0,122). La mortalidad en los pacientes con diagnóstico endoscópico fue de 6,5 por ciento y la de los que no lo tuvieron fue del 25 por ciento, sin embargo esta diferencia no fue significativa (p=0,243). Conclusiones: No observamos un criterio uniforme para la descripción endoscópica de las lesiones ni para categorizarlas de acuerdo a los criterios de Forrest y se observó una alta incidencia de resangrado en los pacientes que recibieron tratamiento endoscópico. En los pacientes en que la primera endoscopia no es eficaz como método de diagnóstico, el pronóstico es más grave, y entre los pacientes que resangraron, la mortalidad fue menor entre los que recibieron tratamiento quirúrgico que no fueron operados

ABSTRACT

La hemorragia digestiva alta constituye una emergencia frecuente en nuestro medio. Si bien en un 85 por ciento de los casos ésta cesará espontáneamente, en el grupo restante serán necesarias medidas terapéuticas hemostáticas y un manejo multidiscíplinario en donde la endoscopía juega un rol fundamental. La endoscopía precoz permitirá el diagnóstico etiológico del sangrado y su tratamiento, mediante técnicas hemostáticas específicas, con un éxito cercano al 95 por ciento, a un bajo costo y con escasa morbilidad. La cirugía de urgencia en pacientes con hemorragia digestiva alta masiva, ha sido reemplazada por el tratamiento endoscópico de urgencia, siendo esta última reservada para los fracasos a la terapia endoscópica. El diagnóstico endoscópico de factores de riesgo para el resangrado ha logrado además identificar en qué pacientes la cirugía debe ser indicada con mayor precocidad. En este artículo se analizan distintos elementos de importancia en el manejo inicial de la hemorragia digestiva alta, así como las diferentes técnicas de tratamiento endoscópico según su etiología

ABSTRACT

El presente estudio prospectivo, de pesquisa, a 2 anos, investiga la relacion entre los procedimientos endoscopicos que se utilizan en el I.G.B.J. en los pacientes con H.D.A. por lesiones no varicosas como son la inyeccion endoscopica y la implantacion de clips, para lo cual utilizamos como drogas esclerosantes el alcohol absoluto, adrenalina o su combinacion y clips Olympus MD 850. El informe preliminar a dos anos reporta la esclerosis de 55 pacientes, a 8 se le aplicaron clips y en 3 se realizaron procedimientos combinados. No encontramos diferencias significativas entre los procedimientos ni entre los esclerosantes; las tasas de complicaciones, resangrado, cirugias y defunciones se encuentran dentro de los limites descritos por las distintas series, con un descenso marcado en el numero de cirugias por la enfermedad en comparacion a 1984.

ABSTRACT

En este trabajo de endoscopía digestiva terapéutica, se presenta la experiencia del tratamiento endoscópico de las lesiones gastrointestinales hemorragicas por el método de la inyeción por vía endoscópica de adrenalina y polidocanol. Fuerón tratados 129 pacientes con edades compreendidas entre 20-98 años (media 62 años); las lesiones mas frecuentes fueron úlceras gastroduodenales en el 80 por ciento de los casos. La efectividad con una sesíon de inyección fue del 91.4 por ciento y con dos sesiones en ciertos casos, dando una efectividad global del 95.3 por ciento para cohibir la hemorragia. La efectividad global del 95.3 por ciento para cohibir la hemorragia. La mortalidad sigue siendo elevada (16.2 por ciento) aún con hemostasia del vaso sangrante, debido a las enfermedades asociadas que presentan nuestros enfermos. Se apresenta la técnica de la inyección y al mismo tiempo se discuten los resultados obtenidos en nuestra casuística.

ABSTRACT

Massive non-variceal upper GI bleeding is a very common and serious problem, especially if bleeding comes from a vessel, In these circumstances, unless therapeutic endoscopy or emergency surgery is performed, the bleeding may lead to a very high mortality. Endoscopic injection therapy can be performed by injecting diluted epinephrine [1:10,000] or normal saline; alone or with a sclerosant. Adding a sclerosant is preferred if the bleeding is massive or has a spurt pattern. This technique proved to be highly effective and safe and almost comparable to other types of therapeutic endoscopies like bipolar electro-coagulator [BICAP] heat probe or laser photocoagulation therapy. The clinical studies performed in this field, the technique of injection and the types and amount of the substance to be injected will be discussed in details
