Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Coaxial double-pigtail plastic stent (DPPS) placement is often performed within lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMSs) for drainage of pancreatic fluid collections (PFCs) to prevent adverse events (AEs) such as stent occlusion and bleeding. This study compares the safety and outcomes of LAMSs alone versus LAMSs with coaxial DPPSs for PFC management. METHODS Patients undergoing drainage of a PFC with LAMSs were retrospectively identified and categorized as LAMS or LAMS/DPPS based on initial drainage strategy. The AE rate, AE type, and clinical success were extracted by chart review. RESULTS One hundred eighty-five individuals (83 LAMS, 102 LAMS/DPPS) were identified. No significant differences were found in rates of clinical success (75.9% LAMS vs 69.6% LAMS/DDPS, P = .34) or overall AEs (15.7% LAMS vs 15.7% LAMS/DPPS, P = .825). CONCLUSIONS In this comparative single-center study, placement of a coaxial DPPS for drainage of PFCs with LAMSs did not affect rates of AEs or clinical success.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Ethanol ablation can be utilized to manage insulinoma. We aimed to analyze our outcomes of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and intraoperative ultrasound (IOUS) guided Ethanol ablation of insulinoma. METHODS A single institution retrospective review of adults undergoing Ethanol ablation of benign pancreatic insulinoma (2007-2022) was performed. Outcomes were categorized as resolution of hypoglycemia, improvement, or no change at last follow-up. RESULTS A total of 16 patients underwent Ethanol ablation of benign insulinoma (N = 8 EUS, N = 8 IOUS): median age was 68 y, 8 (50%) were females, and 2 (12.5%) were associated with multiple endocrine neoplasia type-1. Median insulinoma size was 12 (range 7, 25) mm. Ethanol ablation was preferred over resection to avoid pancreaticoduodenectomy when it was not possible to enucleate the tumor in 10 (62.5%) patients while the rest underwent ablation due to being poor surgical candidates or because of a history of previous pancreatic resection. The median follow-up (interquartile range) was 43 (19.5, 81.5) mo. Resolution of hypoglycemia occurred in 11 patients (5 EUS, 6 IOUS), while the rest (3 EUS, 2 IOUS) experienced improvement in the severity and frequency of hypoglycemia. A single patient underwent resection following a previous ablation for symptomatic hypoglycemia 5 y after EUS guided ablation. CONCLUSIONS Ethanol ablation provides an alternative therapeutic option for patients with insulinoma. Both EUS and IOUS guided approaches are associated with a favorable resolution rate although EUS guided ablation may require multiple procedures to optimize outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) within 72 h is suggested for patients presenting with acute biliary pancreatitis (ABP) and biliary obstruction without cholangitis. This study aimed to identify if urgent ERCP (within 24 h) improved outcomes compared to early ERCP (24-72 h) in patients admitted with predicted mild ABP. METHODS Patients admitted for predicted mild ABP defined as a bedside index of severity in acute pancreatitis score < 3 and underwent ERCP for biliary obstruction within 72 h of presentation during the study period were included. Patients with prior biliary sphincterotomy or surgically altered anatomy preventing conventional ERCP were excluded. The primary outcome was the development of moderately severe or severe pancreatitis based on the revised Atlanta classification. Secondary outcomes were the length of hospital stay, the need for ICU admission, and ERCP-related adverse events (AEs). RESULTS Of the identified 166 patients, baseline characteristics were similar between both the groups except for the WBC count (9.4 vs. 8.3/µL; p < 0.044) and serum bilirubin level (3.0 vs. 1.6 mg/dL; p < 0.0039). Biliary cannulation rate and technical success were both high in the overall cohort (98.8%). Urgent ERCP was not associated with increased development of moderately severe pancreatitis (10.4% vs. 15.7%; p = 0.3115). The urgent ERCP group had a significantly shorter length of hospital stay [median 3 (IQR 2-3) vs. 3 days (IQR 3-4), p < 0.01]. CONCLUSION Urgent ERCP did not impact the rate of developing more severe pancreatitis in patients with predicted mild ABP but was associated with a shorter length of hospital stay and a lower rate of hospital readmission.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Self-expandable metal stents (SEMSs) are widely used for palliation of distal malignant biliary obstruction (dMBO). However, previous studies comparing the outcomes between uncovered SEMSs (UCSEMSs) and fully covered SEMSs (FCSEMSs) report conflicting results. This large cohort study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes between UCSEMSs and FCSEMSs for dMBO. METHODS A retrospective cohort study was performed in patients with dMBO who underwent either UCSEMS or FCSEMS placement between May 2017 and May 2021. Primary outcomes were rates of clinical success, adverse events (AEs), and unplanned endoscopic reintervention. Secondary outcomes were types of AEs, intervention-free stent patency, and management and outcomes of stent occlusion. RESULTS The cohort included 454 patients (364 in the UCSEMS group and 90 in the FCSEMS group). Median follow-up duration was 9.6 months and was similar between the 2 groups. Use of UCSEMSs and FCSEMSs had comparable clinical success (P = .250). However, use of UCSEMSs had significantly higher rates of AEs (33.5% vs 21.1%; P = .023) and unplanned endoscopic reintervention (27.0% vs 11.1%; P = .002). UCSEMSs had a higher rate of stent occlusion (26.9% vs 8.9%; P < .001) and shorter median time to stent occlusion (4.4 months vs 10.7 months; P = .002). Stent reintervention-free survival was higher in the FCSEMS group. FCSEMSs had a significantly higher rate of stent migration (7.8% vs 1.1%; P < .001), but patients in the FCSEMS group had similar rates of cholecystitis (.3% vs 1.1%; P = .872) and post-ERCP pancreatitis (6.3% vs 6.6%; P = .90). When UCSEMSs did occlude, placement of a coaxial plastic stent had a higher rate of stent reocclusion compared with coaxial SEMS placement (46.7% vs 19.7%; P = .007). CONCLUSION FCSEMSs should be considered for the palliation of dMBO because of lower rates of AEs, longer patency rates, and lower rates of unplanned endoscopic intervention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Post-operative pancreatic fluid collections (POPFCs) can be drained using percutaneous or endoscopic approaches. The primary aim of this study was to compare rates of clinical success between endoscopic ultrasound-guided drainage (EUSD) with percutaneous drainage (PTD) in the management of symptomatic POPFCs after distal pancreatectomy. Secondary outcomes included technical success, total number of interventions, time to resolution, rates of adverse events (AEs), and POPFC recurrence. METHODS Adults who underwent distal pancreatectomy from January 2012 to August 2021 and developed symptomatic POPFC in the resection bed were retrospectively identified from a single academic center database. Demographic data, procedural data, and clinical outcomes were abstracted. Clinical success was defined as symptomatic improvement and radiographic resolution without requiring an alternate drainage modality. Quantitative variables were compared using a two-tailed t-test and categorical data were compared using Chi-squared or Fisher's exact tests. RESULTS Of 1046 patients that underwent distal pancreatectomy, 217 met study inclusion criteria (median age 60 years, 51.2% female), of whom 106 underwent EUSD and 111 PTD. There were no significant differences in baseline pathology and POPFC size. PTD was generally performed earlier after surgery (10 vs. 27 days; p < 0.001) and more commonly in the inpatient setting (82.9% vs. 49.1%; p < 0.001). EUSD was associated with a significantly higher rate of clinical success (92.5% vs. 76.6%; p = 0.001), fewer median number of interventions (2 vs. 4; p < 0.001), and lower rate of POPFC recurrence (7.6% vs. 20.7%; p = 0.007). AEs were similar between EUSD (10.4%) and PTD (6.3%, p = 0.28), with approximately one-third of EUSD AEs due to stent migration. CONCLUSION In patients with POPFCs after distal pancreatectomy, delayed drainage with EUSD was associated with higher rates of clinical success, fewer interventions, and lower rates of recurrence than earlier drainage with PTD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Patients with infected or symptomatic walled-off necrosis (WON) have high morbidity and health care utilization. Despite the recent adoption of nonsurgical treatment approaches, WON management remains nonalgorithmic. We investigated the impact of a protocolized early necrosectomy approach compared with a nonprotocolized, clinician-driven approach on important clinical outcomes. METHODS Records were reviewed for consecutive patients with WON who underwent a protocolized endoscopic drainage with a lumen-apposing metal stent (cases), and for patients with WON treated with a lumen-apposing metal stent at the same tertiary referral center who were not managed according to the protocol (control subjects). The protocol required repeat cross-sectional imaging within 14 days after lumen-apposing metal stent placement, with regularly scheduled endoscopic necrosectomy if WON diameter reduction was <50%. Control patients were treated according to their clinician's preference without an a priori strategy. Inverse probability of treatment weighting-adjusted analysis was used to evaluate the influence of being in the protocolized group on time to resolution. RESULTS A total of 24 cases and 47 control subjects were included. There were no significant differences in baseline characteristics. Although numbers of endoscopies and necrosectomies were similar, cases had lower adverse event rates, shorter intensive care unit stay, and required nutritional support for fewer days. On matched multivariate Cox regression, cases had earlier WON resolution (hazard ratio, 5.73; 95% confidence interval, 2.62-12.5). This was confirmed in the inverse probability of treatment weighting-adjusted analysis (hazard ratio, 3.4; 95% confidence interval, 1.92-6.01). CONCLUSIONS A protocolized strategy resulted in faster WON resolution compared with a discretionary approach without the need for additional therapeutic interventions, and with a better safety profile and decreased health care utilization.

Abstract
Localized insulinoma is an uncommon entity that can result in substantial morbidity due to the associated hypoglycemia. Recent studies have suggested an increase in the incidence of insulinoma in recent decades that may possibly be secondary to increased awareness, incidental diagnoses, and better diagnostic methods. Diagnosing and localizing insulinoma within the pancreas can be challenging, but advances in nuclear imaging may improve diagnostic accuracy. Delays in diagnosis are common, but once a localized insulinoma is diagnosed and appropriately treated, the long-term prognosis is excellent. Surgical resection is considered the standard of care management option for localized insulinoma, but tumor ablation with endoscopic ultrasound guidance has also been shown to be an effective and safe method for therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We evaluated a protocolized endoscopic necrosectomy approach with a lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) in patients with large symptomatic walled-off pancreatic necrosis (WON) comprising significant necrotic content, with or without infection. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA Randomized trials have shown similar efficacy of endoscopic treatment compared with surgery for infected WON. DESIGN We conducted a regulatory, prospective, multicenter single-arm clinical trial examining the efficacy and safety of endoscopic ultrasound -guided LAMS with protocolized necrosectomy to treat symptomatic WON ≥6 cm in diameter with >30% solid necrosis. After LAMS placement, protocolized WON assessment was conducted and endoscopic necrosectomy was performed for insufficient WON size reduction and persistent symptoms. Patients with radiographic WON resolution to ≤ 3 cm and/or 60-day LAMS indwell had LAMS removal, then 6-month follow-up. Primary endpoints were probability of radiographic resolution by 60 days and procedure-related serious adverse events. RESULTS Forty consecutive patients were enrolled September 2018 to March 2020, of whom 27 (67.5%) were inpatients and 19 (47.5%) had clinical evidence of infection at their index procedure. Mean WON size was 15.0 ± 5.6 cm with mean 53.2% ± 16.7% solid necrosis. Radiographic WON resolution was seen in 97.5% (95% CI, 86.8%, 99.9%) by 60 days, without recurrence in 34 patients with 6-month follow-up data. Mean time to radiographic WON resolution was 34.1 ± 16.8 days. Serious adverse events occurred in 3 patients (7.5%), including sepsis, vancomycin-resistant enterococcal bacteremia and shock, and upper gastrointestinal bleeding. There were no procedure-related deaths. CONCLUSIONS Endoscopic ultrasound-guided drainage with protocolized endoscopic necrosectomy to treat large symptomatic or infected walled-off necrotic pancreatic collections was highly effective and safe.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS) are an alternative therapeutic option for benign gastrointestinal (GI) tract strictures. Our study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of LAMS for the management of benign GI strictures. METHODS Consecutive patients who underwent a LAMS placement for benign luminal GI strictures at a tertiary care center between January 2014 and July 2021 were reviewed. Primary outcomes included technical success, early clinical success, and adverse events (AEs). Other outcomes included rates of stent migration and re-intervention after LAMS removal. RESULTS One hundred and nine patients who underwent 128 LAMS placements (67.9% female, mean age of 54.3 ± 14.2 years) were included, and 70.6% of the patients had failed prior endoscopic treatments. The majority of strictures (83.5%) were anastomotic, and the most common stricture site was the gastrojejunal anastomosis (65.9%). Technical success was achieved in 100% of procedures, while early clinical success was achieved in 98.4%. The overall stent-related AE rate was 25%. The migration rate was 27.3% (35/128). Of these, five stents were successfully repositioned endoscopically. The median stent dwell time was 119 days [interquartile range (IQR) 68-189 days], and the median follow-up duration was 668.5 days [IQR: 285.5-1441.5 days]. The re-intervention rate after LAMS removal was 58.3%. CONCLUSIONS LAMS is an effective therapeutic option for benign GI strictures, offering high technical and early clinical success. However, the re-intervention rate after LAMS removal was high. In select cases, using LAMS placement as destination therapy with close surveillance is a reasonable option.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The optimal therapeutic approach for walled-off necrosis (WON) is not fully understood, given the lack of a validated classification system. We propose a novel and robust classification system based on radiologic and clinical factors to standardize the nomenclature, provide a framework to guide comparative effectiveness trials, and inform the optimal WON interventional approach. METHODS This was a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent endoscopic management of WON by lumen-apposing metal stent placement at a tertiary referral center. Patients were classified according to the proposed QNI classification system: quadrant ("Q"), represented an abdominal quadrant distribution; necrosis ("N"), denoted by the percentage of necrosis of WON; and infection ("I"), denoted as positive blood culture and/or systemic inflammatory response syndrome reaction with a positive WON culture. Two blinded reviewers classified all patients according to the QNI system. Patients were then divided into 2 groups: those with a lower QNI stratification (≤2 quadrants and ≤30% necrosis; group 1) and those with a higher stratification (≥3 quadrants, 2 quadrants with ≥30% necrosis, or 1 quadrant with >60% necrosis and infection; group 2). The primary outcome was mean time to WON resolution. Secondary procedural and clinical outcomes between the groups were compared. RESULTS Seventy-one patients (75% men) were included and stratified by the QNI classification; group 1 comprised 17 patients and group 2, 54 patients. Patients in group 2 had a higher number of necrosectomies, longer hospital stays, and more readmissions. The mean time to resolution was longer in group 2 than in group 1 (79.6 ± 7.76 days vs 48.4 ± 9.22 days, P = .02). The mortality rate was higher in group 2 (15% vs 0%, P = .18). CONCLUSIONS Despite the heterogeneous nature of WON in severe acute pancreatitis, a proposed QNI system may provide a standardized framework for WON classification to inform clinical trials, risk-stratify the disease course, and potentially inform an optimal management approach.

Abstract
Background and study aims Gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) is traditionally managed with surgical gastroenterostomy (surgical-GE) and enteral stenting (ES). Endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastroenterostomy (EUS-GE) is now a third option. Large studies assessing their relative risks and benefits with adequate follow-up are lacking. We conducted a comparative analysis of patients who underwent EUS-GE, ES, or surgical-GE for GOO. Patients and methods In this retrospective comparative cohort study, consecutive patients presenting with GOO who underwent EUS-GE, ES, or surgical-GE at two academic institutions were reviewed and independently cross-edited to ensure accurate reporting. The primary outcome was need for reintervention. Secondary outcomes were technical and clinical success, length of hospital stay (LOS), and adverse events (AEs). Results A total of 436 patients (232 EUS-GE, 131 ES, 73 surgical-GE) were included. The median duration of follow-up of the entire cohort was 185.5 days (interquartile range 55.25-454.25 days). The rate of reintervention in the EUS-GE group was lower than in the ES and surgical-GE groups (0.9 %, 12.2 %, and 13.7 %, P < 0.0001). Technical success was achieved in 98.3 %, 99.2 %, and 100 % ( P = 0.58), and clinical success was achieved in 98.3 %, 91.6 %, and 90.4 % ( P < 0.0001) in the EUS-GE, ES, and surgical-GE groups, respectively. The EUS-GE group had a shorter LOS (2 days vs. 3 days vs. 5 days, P < 0.0001) and a lower AE rate than the ES and surgical-GE groups (8.6 % vs. 38.9 % vs. 27.4 %, P < 0.0001). Conclusion This large cohort study demonstrates the safety and palliation durability of EUS-GE as an alternative strategy for GOO palliation in select patients.

Abstract
Background Reports suggest that the rate of adverse events (AEs) post-endoscopic sphincterotomy (ES) to be as high as 10%, with gastrointestinal bleeding being most common after post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) pancreatitis. Objective The aim of this study was to characterize the incidence of bleeding in patients with thrombocytopenia following ES. Design Retrospective observational cohort study. Methods Patients with thrombocytopenia (defined as <150,000 platelets/μL) who underwent ES between May 2017 and December 2020 were identified at a tertiary care medical center. The incidence of immediate (intraprocedural oozing >5 min or requiring intervention) or delayed (clinical bleeding with associated hemoglobin drop within 14 days) post-ES bleeding was determined via manual chart review. Results A total of 221 patients with a mean platelet count of 108,000 ± 13,000 platelets/μL underwent ERCP with ES. Immediate bleeding occurred in 11 (5%) patients with no significant drop in hemoglobin or transfusion requirement. Two patients (0.9%), both of whom were noted to have immediate bleeding, also developed delayed bleeding. Presence of malignancy was associated with an increased risk of bleeding (36.4% versus 11.4%, p = 0.037) while platelet count was not. Conclusion In a cohort of patients with thrombocytopenia, rates of immediate and delayed bleeding are similar to previously reported AE rates of ES in the general patient population. Careful attention should be given to patients with a history of active malignancy as well as those who develop immediate bleeding as they appear to be at increased risk for bleeding complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUNDA patient-derived organoid (PDO) platform may serve as a promising tool for translational cancer research. In this study, we evaluated PDO's ability to predict clinical response to gastrointestinal (GI) cancers.METHODSWe generated PDOs from primary and metastatic lesions of patients with GI cancers, including pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, colorectal adenocarcinoma, and cholangiocarcinoma. We compared PDO response with the observed clinical response for donor patients to the same treatments.RESULTSWe report an approximately 80% concordance rate between PDO and donor tumor response. Importantly, we found a profound influence of culture media on PDO phenotype, where we showed a significant difference in response to standard-of-care chemotherapies, distinct morphologies, and transcriptomes between media within the same PDO cultures.CONCLUSIONWhile we demonstrate a high concordance rate between donor tumor and PDO, these studies also showed the important role of culture media when using PDOs to inform treatment selection and predict response across a spectrum of GI cancers.TRIAL REGISTRATIONNot applicable.FUNDINGThe Joan F. & Richard A.

Abstract
Background and study aims Obtaining quality tissue during ERCP biliary stricture sampling is of paramount importance for a timely diagnosis. While single-operator cholangioscopy (SOC)-guided biopsies have been suggested to be the superior biliary tissue acquisition modality given direct tissue visualization, less is known about the specimen histological quality. We aimed to analyze the specimen quality of SOC biopsies and compare the new generation forceps with prior "legacy" forceps. Patients and methods Patients who underwent SOC from January 2017-August 2021 for biliary sampling were reviewed. In February 2020, the SOC-guided biopsy forceps were changed from legacy SpyBite to the SpyBite Max forceps (max). Specimens were assessed by blinded pathologists for crush artifact (none, mild, or severe) and gross size (greatest dimension in mm). Crush artifact and gross size were compared between the two groups. The diagnostic performance characteristics for cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), were assessed in an exploratory fashion. Results Eighty-one patients (max = 27, legacy = 54) with similar baseline characteristics were included in this study. On blinded pathological assessment, 58 % had crush artifact, without significant differences between the two groups (Max 63 % vs. Legacy 56 %; P = 0.64). A similar mean specimen size was found (max 3 mm vs. legacy 3.2 mm; P = 0.24). The overall prevalence of CCA was 40 %. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of the entire cohort using a combination of cytology, fluorescence in situ hybridization, and SOC-guided biopsies were 78.1 %, 91.8 %, 86.2 %, and 86.5 %, respectively. No difference between legacy or max groups was found. Conclusions A high rate of crush artifact was found in SOC-guided biopsy specimens. Further investigation regarding proper biopsy technique and handling is necessary to increase the diagnostic yield with SOC-guided biopsies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided main pancreatic duct (PD) access may be used when conventional endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) techniques fail. The use of a percutaneous transluminal angioplasty balloon (PTAB), originally developed for vascular interventions, can be used to facilitate transmural (e.g., transgastric) PD access and to dilate high-grade pancreatic strictures.
AIM To describe the technique, efficacy, and safety of PTABs for EUS-guided PD interventions.
METHODS Patients who underwent EUS with use of a PTAB from March 2011 to August 2021 were retrospectively identified from a tertiary care medical center supply database. PTABs included 3-4 French angioplasty catheters with 3-4 mm balloons designed to use over a 0.018-inch guidewire. The primary outcome was technical success. Secondary outcomes included incidence of adverse events (AEs) and need for early reintervention.
RESULTS A total of 23 patients were identified (48% female, mean age 55.8 years). Chronic pancreatitis was the underlying etiology in 13 (56.5%) patients, surgically altered anatomy (SAA) with stricture in 7 (30.4%), and SAA with post-operative leak in 3 (13.0%). Technical success was achieved in 20 (87%) cases. Overall AE rate was 26% (n = 6). All AEs were mild and included 1 pancreatic duct leak, 2 cases of post-procedure pancreatitis, and 3 admissions for post-procedural pain. No patients required early re-intervention.
CONCLUSION EUS-guided use of PTABs for PD access and/or stricture management is feasible with an acceptable safety profile and can be considered in patients when conventional ERCP cannulation fails.

Abstract
e18501 Background: Patients undergoing cancer treatment are more likely to face infertility. Despite improvements in counseling and fertility preservation, some oncology patients will require the use of donor oocytes to complete their family. We investigated whether the current cohort of commercial oocyte donors reflects the racial profile of the U.S. population. We also evaluated whether there were differences in donors’ perception of pain and quality of informed consent by race to elucidate potential avenues to improve donor retention. Methods: Institutional Review Board approved, retrospective survey of commercial, U.S. oocyte donors was emailed to recent donors recruited through Donor Egg Bank USA prior to 2020. There were 246 respondents out of 503 opened emails (48.9%). Donors were recruited by twenty different clinics that are affiliated with the same donor egg bank. Results: Black and Hispanic donors were significantly underrepresented among commercial U.S. egg bank donors while Caucasian and mixed-race donors were overrepresented (Table - left). The perception of pain in donors, however, did not differ according to race (Table - right, p = 0.245). Over 80% of donors reported that they had received better than acceptable levels of preparation through the informed consent process. Respondents’ report of the quality of the informed consent process did not differ by race (p = 0.728). Conclusions: Our study represents one of the largest cohorts of recent U.S. oocyte donors. The racial composition of recruited donors overrepresents Caucasian and mixed-race donors while underrepresenting Hispanic and Black donors when compared to the racial identity self-reported in the 2020 US census. This may represent the demographics of the current recipient cohort; however, the lack of diversity is of particular concern for oncology patients seeking oocytes as their racial composition likely reflects the diversity represented in the U.S. population. Notably, there was no difference by race in the pain score of donors by race or the quality of their informed consent process suggesting that all donors were treated similarly regardless of racial identity. Donor egg banks should consider diversification of their donor profiles to provide equal access among oncology patient seeking donor oocytes.[Table: see text]

Abstract
Background and study aims Endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastrojejunostomy (EUS-GJ) is an endoscopic procedure for treating gastric outlet obstruction (GOO). Limited data exist regarding the safety and efficacy of EUS-GJ in patients with malignant GOO with ascites. Thus, we aimed to study the outcomes and safety of EUS-GJ in GOO patients with vs. without ascites. Patients and methods This is a retrospective cohort study of patients with malignant GOO who underwent successful EUS-GJ at a tertiary care academic center. Primary outcomes included the efficacy and safety of EUS-GJ. Secondary outcomes included 30-day readmission, reintervention, and survival utilizing Kaplan-Meier analysis. Results A total of 55 patients (mean age of 67.0 ± 11.3 years, 40.0 % female) who underwent EUS-GJ, of whom 24 had ascites (small in 22, large in 2) were included. Clinical success was achieved in 91.7 % and 93.5 % ( P = 1.00) of patients with and without ascites, respectively. A higher rate of adverse events (AEs) was noted in patients with ascites but this was not statistically significant (37.5 % vs. 19.4 %, P = 0.13). Four patients in the ascites group (16.6 %) developed clinical evidence of peritonitis or sepsis post-EUS-GJ. Eight patients with ascites developed worsening ascites within a month of EUS-GJ. In contrast, only one patient without ascites developed evidence of new ascites. The median survival of patients was not significantly different between the two groups (patients with ascites: 129 days vs. patients without ascites: 180 days, ( P = 0.12). Conclusions The efficacy EUS-GJ in the presence of ascites is promising; however, the safety profile remains concerning given the high rate of AEs, specifically peritonitis and sepsis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Malignant biliary strictures can be difficult to diagnose, with up to 20% considered indeterminate after initial tissue sampling. This study aimed to determine the performance characteristics of transpapillary biopsy sampling (TPB) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in isolation or in combination with standard brush cytology (BC) in patients who received trimodality sampling for biliary strictures. METHODS This single-center retrospective cohort study included patients with biliary strictures undergoing ERCP with trimodality sampling between September 2014 and April 2019. Performance characteristics for each diagnostic test alone and in combination were calculated. RESULTS Two hundred four patients underwent trimodality biliary sampling, including 104 (51.0%) with malignancy. The diagnostic sensitivity for malignancy with BC (17.3%) significantly improved with dual modality (BC+FISH, 58.7%; BC+TPB, 40.4%) or trimodality sampling (68.3%; P < .001 for all comparisons). Trimodality sampling improved diagnostic sensitivity for malignancy compared with BC+FISH (P = .002) and BC+TPB (P < .001). There was no statistically significant difference in the sensitivity of trimodality sampling in detecting cholangiocarcinoma (79.7%) compared with pancreatic cancer (62.5%; P = .1). Among 57 patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), the sensitivity of detecting biliary malignancy (n = 20) was 20% for BC and significantly improved with the addition of FISH (80%; P < .001) but not with TPB (35.0%; P = .25). Trimodality sampling did not further improve diagnostic sensitivity (85%) over BC+FISH (80%) for malignancy in the setting of PSC (P = 1). CONCLUSIONS Trimodality sampling improves the diagnostic sensitivity for the detection of malignant biliary strictures with no significant difference in sensitivity for cholangiocarcinoma compared with pancreatic cancer. However, in patients with PSC, trimodality sampling was not superior to BC+FISH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Increased intrapancreatic fat is associated with pancreatic diseases; however, there are no established objective diagnostic criteria for fatty pancreas. On non-contrast computed tomography (CT), adipose tissue shows negative Hounsfield Unit (HU) attenuations (-150 to -30 HU). Using whole organ segmentation on non-contrast CT, we aimed to describe whole gland pancreatic attenuation and establish 5th and 10th percentile thresholds across a spectrum of age and sex. Subsequently, we aimed to evaluate the association between low pancreatic HU and risk of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). METHODS The whole pancreas was segmented in 19,456 images from 469 non-contrast CT scans. A convolutional neural network was trained to assist pancreas segmentation. Mean pancreatic HU, volume, and body composition metrics were calculated. The lower 5th and 10th percentile for mean pancreatic HU were identified, examining the association with age and sex. Pre-diagnostic CT scans from patients who later developed PDAC were compared to cancer-free controls. RESULTS Less than 5th percentile mean pancreatic HU was significantly associated with increase in BMI (OR 1.07; 1.03-1.11), visceral fat (OR 1.37; 1.15-1.64), total abdominal fat (OR 1.12; 1.03-1.22), and diabetes mellitus type 1 (OR 6.76; 1.68-27.28). Compared to controls, pre-diagnostic scans in PDAC cases had lower mean whole gland pancreatic HU (-0.2 vs 7.8, p = 0.026). CONCLUSION In this study, we report age and sex-specific distribution of pancreatic whole-gland CT attenuation. Compared to controls, mean whole gland pancreatic HU is significantly lower in the pre-diagnostic phase of PDAC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Select patients with acute cholecystitis (AC) are poor candidates for cholecystectomy. ERCP-guided transpapillary gallbladder (GB) drainage (ERGD) is one modality for nonoperative management of AC in these patients. Our primary aim was to evaluate long-term success of destination ERGD. Secondary aims were the rate of technical and clinical success, number of repeat procedures, rate of adverse events, and risk factors for recurrent AC. METHODS Consecutive patients with AC who were not candidates for cholecystectomy underwent ERGD with attempted transpapillary GB plastic double-pigtail stent placement at a tertiary hospital from January 2008 to December 2019. Long-term success was defined as no AC after ERGD until 6 months, death, or reintervention. Technical success was defined as placement of at least 1 transpapillary stent into the GB and clinical success as resolution of AC symptoms with discharge from the hospital. RESULTS Long-term success was achieved in 95.9% of patients (47/49), technical success in 96% (49/51), and clinical success 100% in those with technical success. Mild adverse events occurred in 5.9% (n = 3). Mean follow-up was 453 days after ERGD (range, 18-1879). A trend toward longer time to recurrence of AC was seen in patients with 2 rather than 1 GB stent placed (P = .13), and more repeat procedures were performed when a single stent was placed (P = .045). CONCLUSIONS ERGD with transpapillary GB double-pigtail stent placement is a safe and effective long-term therapy for poor surgical candidates with AC. Risk factors for recurrence include stent removal and single-stent therapy. Double-stent therapy is not always technically feasible but may salvage failed single-stent therapy or recurrence after elective stent removal and may therefore be the preferred treatment modality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS A significant proportion of individuals with pancreatic fluid collections (PFCs) require step-up therapy after endoscopic drainage with lumen-apposing metal stents. The aim of this study is to identify factors associated with PFCs that require step-up therapy. METHODS A retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing endoscopic ultrasound-guided drainage of PFCs with lumen-apposing metal stents from April 2014 to October 2019 at a single center was performed. Step-up therapy included direct endoscopic necrosectomy, additional drainage site (endoscopic or percutaneous), or surgical intervention after the initial drainage procedure. Multivariable logistic regression was performed using a backward stepwise approach with a P ≤ .2 threshold for variable retention to identify factors predictive for the need for step-up therapy. RESULTS One hundred thirty-six patients were included in the final study cohort, of whom 69 (50.7%) required step-up therapy. Independent predictors of step-up therapy included: collection size measuring ≥10 cm (odds ratio [OR], 8.91; 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.36-23.61), paracolic extension of the PFC (OR, 4.04; 95% CI, 1.60-10.23), and ≥30% solid necrosis (OR, 4.24; 95% CI, 1.48-12.16). In a sensitivity analysis of 81 patients with walled-off necrosis, 51 (63.0%) required step-up therapy. Similarly, factors predictive of the need for step-up therapy for walled-off necrosis included: collection size measuring ≥10 cm (OR, 6.94; 95% CI, 1.76-27.45), paracolic extension of the PFC (OR, 3.79; 95% CI, 1.18-12.14), and ≥30% solid necrosis (OR, 7.10; 95% CI, 1.16-43.48). CONCLUSIONS Half of all patients with PFCs drained with lumen-apposing metal stents required step-up therapy, most commonly direct endoscopic necrosectomy. Individuals with PFCs ≥10 cm in size, paracolic extension, or ≥30% solid necrosis are more likely to require step-up therapy and should be considered for early endoscopic reintervention.

Abstract
The benefit of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for the treatment of primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) remains controversial. To identify predictors of jaundice resolution after ERCP and whether resolution is associated with improved patient outcomes, we conducted a retrospective cohort study of 124 patients with jaundice and PSC. These patients underwent endoscopic biliary balloon dilation and/or stent placement at an American tertiary center, with validation in a separate cohort of 102 patients from European centers. Jaundice resolved after ERCP in 52% of patients. Median follow‐up was 4.8 years. Independent predictors of jaundice resolution included older age (P = 0.048; odds ratio [OR], 1.03 for every 1‐year increase), shorter duration of jaundice (P = 0.059; OR, 0.59 for every 1‐year increase), lower Mayo Risk Score (MRS) (P = 0.025; OR, 0.58 for every 1‐point increase), and extrahepatic location of the most advanced biliary stricture (P = 0.011; OR, 3.13). A logistic regression model predicted jaundice resolution with area under the receiver operator characteristic curve of 0.67 (95% confidence interval, 0.5‐0.79) in the validation set. Independent predictors of death or transplant during follow‐up included higher MRS at the time of ERCP (P < 0.0001; hazard ratio [HR], 2.33 for every 1‐point increase), lower total serum bilirubin before ERCP (P = 0.031; HR, 0.91 for every 1 mg/dL increase), and persistence of jaundice after endoscopic therapy (P = 0.003; HR, 2.30). Conclusion: Resolution of jaundice after endoscopic treatment of biliary strictures is associated with longer transplant‐free survival of patients with PSC. The likelihood of resolution is affected by demographic, hepatic, and biliary variables and can be predicted using noninvasive data. These findings may refine the use of ERCP in patients with jaundice with PSC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The diagnosis of autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is challenging. Sonographic and cross-sectional imaging findings of AIP closely mimic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and techniques for tissue sampling of AIP are suboptimal. These limitations often result in delayed or failed diagnosis, which negatively impact patient management and outcomes. This study aimed to create an endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-based convolutional neural network (CNN) model trained to differentiate AIP from PDAC, chronic pancreatitis (CP) and normal pancreas (NP), with sufficient performance to analyse EUS video in real time. DESIGN A database of still image and video data obtained from EUS examinations of cases of AIP, PDAC, CP and NP was used to develop a CNN. Occlusion heatmap analysis was used to identify sonographic features the CNN valued when differentiating AIP from PDAC. RESULTS From 583 patients (146 AIP, 292 PDAC, 72 CP and 73 NP), a total of 1 174 461 unique EUS images were extracted. For video data, the CNN processed 955 EUS frames per second and was: 99% sensitive, 98% specific for distinguishing AIP from NP; 94% sensitive, 71% specific for distinguishing AIP from CP; 90% sensitive, 93% specific for distinguishing AIP from PDAC; and 90% sensitive, 85% specific for distinguishing AIP from all studied conditions (ie, PDAC, CP and NP). CONCLUSION The developed EUS-CNN model accurately differentiated AIP from PDAC and benign pancreatic conditions, thereby offering the capability of earlier and more accurate diagnosis. Use of this model offers the potential for more timely and appropriate patient care and improved outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoscopic intervention for pancreatic fluid collections (PFCs) with disconnected pancreatic duct syndrome (DPDS) has been associated with failures and increased need for additional endoscopic and non-endoscopic interventions. The primary aim of this study was to determine the outcomes of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided transmural drainage of PFCs in patients with DPDS. METHODS In patients undergoing EUS-guided drainage of PFCs from January 2013 to January 2018, demographic profiles, procedural indications and details, adverse events, outcomes, and subsequent interventions were retrospectively collected. Overall treatment success was determined by PFC resolution on follow-up imaging or stent removal without recurrence. RESULTS EUS-guided drainage of PFCs was performed in 141 patients. DPDS was present in 57 of them (40 %) and walled-off necrosis was the most frequent type of PFC (55 %). DPDS was not associated with lower clinical success, increased number of repeat interventions, or increased time to PFC resolution. Patients with DPDS were more likely to be treated with permanent transmural plastic double-pigtail stents (odds ratio [OR] 6.4; 95 % confidence interval [CI] 2.5 - 16.5; P < 0.001). However, when stents were removed, DPDS was associated with increased PFC recurrence after stent removal (OR 8.0; 95 %CI 1.2 - 381.8; P = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS DPDS frequently occurs in patients with PFCs but does not negatively impact successful resolution. DPDS is associated with increased PFC recurrence after stent removal.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Detection and characterization of focal liver lesions (FLLs) is key for optimizing treatment for patients who may have a primary hepatic cancer or metastatic disease to the liver. This is the first study to develop an EUS-based convolutional neural network (CNN) model for the purpose of identifying and classifying FLLs. METHODS A prospective EUS database comprising cases of FLLs visualized and sampled via EUS was reviewed. Relevant still images and videos of liver parenchyma and FLLs were extracted. Patient data were then randomly distributed for the purpose of CNN model training and testing. Once a final model was created, occlusion heatmap analysis was performed to assess the ability of the EUS-CNN model to autonomously identify FLLs. The performance of the EUS-CNN for differentiating benign and malignant FLLs was also analyzed. RESULTS A total of 210,685 unique EUS images from 256 patients were used to train, validate, and test the CNN model. Occlusion heatmap analyses demonstrated that the EUS-CNN model was successful in autonomously locating FLLs in 92.0% of EUS video assets. When evaluating any random still image extracted from videos or physician-captured images, the CNN model was 90% sensitive and 71% specific (area under the receiver operating characteristic [AUROC], 0.861) for classifying malignant FLLs. When evaluating full-length video assets, the EUS-CNN model was 100% sensitive and 80% specific (AUROC, 0.904) for classifying malignant FLLs. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated the capability of an EUS-CNN model to autonomously identify FLLs and to accurately classify them as either malignant or benign lesions.

Abstract
Background Endoscopic resection (ER) is an emerging therapeutic alternative for subepithelial gastrointestinal lesions (SELs). We aimed to determine whether size, layer of origin, and histology based on endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and EUS-guided sampling (EUS-GS) influenced the outcomes and selection of patients for ER. Methods We performed a retrospective review of patients who underwent EUS, EUS-GS and resection of SELs from 2012-2019. Two pathologists reviewed the histology and layer of origin of all resected specimens, serving as the criterion for EUS accuracy. Results Seventy-three patients were included, of whom 59 (81%) were gastric SELs. Per EUS, median lesion size was 21 mm (interquartile range 15-32), and 63 (86%) originated from the 4th layer. The overall accuracy of EUS and EUS-GS in predicting the layer of origin and histology was 88% (95% confidence interval [CI] 77-94%) and 96% (95%CI 87-98%), respectively. Based on EUS, 18 (25%) patients were referred for ER, 5 (7%) to laparoscopic-endoscopic cooperative surgery, and 50 (68%) to surgery. Size >20 mm was associated with the type of resection approach (P=0.005), while layer of origin and histology were not (P=0.06 and P=0.09, respectively). When SELs were inaccurately classified (n=4) there were no adverse events or revision of the resection approach. Conclusions EUS plays an important role in the outcome of resection approach for SELs, with size significantly influencing the selection for ER. In patients undergoing ER, no revised resections were needed when EUS was inaccurate.

Abstract
A crucial mutational mechanism in malignancy is structural variation, in which chromosomal rearrangements alter gene functions that drive cancer progression. Herein, the presence and pattern of structural variations were investigated in twelve prospectively acquired treatment‐naïve pancreatic cancers specimens obtained via endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). In many patients, this diagnostic biopsy procedure and specimen is the only opportunity to identify somatic clinically relevant actionable alterations that may impact their care and outcome. Specialized mate pair sequencing (MPseq) provided genome‐wide structural variance analysis (SVA) with a view to identifying prognostic markers and possible therapeutic targets. MPseq was successfully performed on all specimens, identifying highly rearranged genomes with complete SVA on all specimens with > 20% tumour content. SVA identified chimeric fusion proteins and potentially immunogenic readthrough transcripts, change of function truncations, gains and losses of key genes linked to tumour progression. Complex localized rearrangements, termed chromoanagenesis, with broad pattern heterogeneity were observed in 10 (83%) specimens, impacting multiple genes with diverse cellular functions that could influence theragnostic evaluation and responsiveness to immunotherapy regimens. This study indicates that genome‐wide MPseq can be successfully performed on very limited clinically EUS obtained specimens for chromosomal rearrangement detection and potential theragnostic targets.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Obese patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) are at risk for cirrhosis if significant weight loss is not achieved. The single fluid-filled intragastric balloon (IGB) induces meaningful weight loss and might be used in NASH treatment. We performed an open-label prospective study to evaluate the effects of IGB placement on metabolic and histologic features of NASH. METHODS Twenty-one patients with early hepatic fibrosis (81% female; mean age, 54 years; average body mass index, 44 kg/m2) underwent magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) and endoscopic ultrasound with core liver biopsy collection at time IGB placement and removal at a single center from October 2016 through March 2018. The primary outcome measure was the changes in liver histology parameters after IGB, including change in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease activity score (NAS) and fibrosis score. We also evaluated changes in weight, body mass index, waist to hip ratio, aminotransaminases, fasting levels of lipids, fasting glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, and MRE-detected liver stiffness. RESULTS Six months after IGB, patients' mean total body weight loss was 11.7% ± 7.7%, with significant reductions in HbA1c (1.3% ± 0.5%) (P = .02). Waist circumference decreased by 14.4 ± 2.2 cm (P = .001). NAS improved in 18 of 20 patients (90%), with a median decrease of 3 points (range, 1-4 points); 16 of 20 patients (80%) had improvements of 2 points or more. Fibrosis improved by 1.17 stages in 15% of patients, and MRE-detected fibrosis improved by 1.5 stages in 10 of 20 patients (50%). Half of patients reached endpoints approved by the Food and Drug Administration of for NASH resolution and fibrosis improvement. Percent total body weight loss did not correlate with reductions in NAS or fibrosis. Other than post-procedural pain (in 5% of patients), no serious adverse events were reported. CONCLUSION In a prospective study, IGB facilitated significant metabolic and histologic improvements in NASH. IGB appears to be safe and effective for NASH management when combined with a prescribed diet and exercise program. ClinicalTrials.gov no: NCT02880189.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Presence of malignant regional lymph nodes (MRLNs) precludes curative oncological resection or liver transplantation for cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). Limited data support the utility of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)/fine needle aspiration (FNA) for detection of MRLNs in extrahepatic CCA, but there are no data for its role in intrahepatic CCA (iCCA). The aim of this study is to evaluate the staging impact of EUS for CCA, including analysis by subtype. APPROACH AND RESULTS We identified consecutive patients with CCA who underwent EUS staging at a single tertiary care center from October 2014 to April 2018. Among this cohort, we abstracted clinical demographic, radiographical, procedural, cytopathological, and surgical data. STATA 15 software was used for comparative analysis calculations (StataCorp LP, College Station, TX). The study cohort included 157 patients; 24 (15%), 124 (79%), and 9 (6%) with intrahepatic, perihilar, and distal CCA, respectively. EUS was able to identify regional lymph nodes (RLNs) in a higher percentage of patients compared to cross-sectional imaging (86% vs. 47%; P < 0.001). FNA was performed in 133 (98.5%) patients with RLNs, with a median of three passes per node. EUS-FNA identified MRLN in 27 of 31 (87.1%) patients ultimately found to have MRLNs. For iCCA, EUS detected a higher percentage of RLN compared to cross-sectional imaging (83% vs. 50%; P = 0.048), with MRLNs identified in 4 (17%) patients. Among the entire cohort, identification of at least one MRLN by EUS was associated with lower median survival (353 vs. 1,050 days; P < 0.001) and increased risk of death (hazard ratio = 4.1; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS EUS-FNA is effective for identifying MRLN in patients with CCA, and should be routinely incorporated into staging of all CCA subtypes given the impact of MRLN on prognosis and management decisions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Select patients with acute cholecystitis (AC) are not candidates for index cholecystectomy. We compared the influence of ERCP-guided transpapillary gallbladder drainage (ERGD) versus percutaneous cholecystostomy (PC) on delayed cholecystectomy outcomes. METHODS Consecutive patients undergoing ERGD or PC for AC from January 2007 to October 2018 were included. Primary outcome was the rate of conversion to open cholecystectomy and perioperative complications in groups. RESULTS The study included 52 patients with ERGD and 140 with PC prior to cholecystectomy (median 68 days [IQR: 47-105.5]). Technical success was higher in the PC group (100% vs 91%; P = 0.0004). There was a nonsignificant trend to lower postoperative complications with ERGD (30.7% vs 43.5%; P = 0.07). No difference in conversion to open cholecystectomy OR: 1.5 (95% CI: 0.68-3.65; P = 0.28) or severity of complications (Clavien-Dindo grade >2) OR: 0.60, (95% CI: 0.19-1.87; P = 0.38) was noted between the ERGD and PC groups. PC was associated with higher rates of unplanned repeat intervention (16.4% vs 7.7%; P = 0.02). CONCLUSION ERGD is suitable for patients with AC who is candidates for delayed cholecystectomy and should be considered for gallbladder drainage in patients with concomitant choledocholithiasis or cholangitis who require ERCP.

Abstract
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is a minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic modality with a number of established as well as evolving uses in patients with chronic liver disease. Compared to other diagnostic tools such as cross-sectional imaging or conventional endoscopy, EUS has been shown to increase diagnostic sensitivity and therapeutic success for many clinical scenarios and applications with a low rate of adverse events. In this review, we discuss and focus on the current and growing role of EUS in the evaluation and/or treatment of hepatobiliary masses, hepatic parenchymal disease, portal hypertension, esophageal and other varices, and indeterminate biliary strictures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS EUS-guided postoperative drainage (EUS-POD) of postoperative fluid collections (POFCs) is typically delayed until a thick wall has formed to optimize safety. Thus, percutaneous drainage is the mainstay of early POFC management. The primary aim of this study was to compare technical and clinical success and adverse event (AE) rate between early (0-30 days postoperative) compared with delayed (>30 days) EUS-POD. The secondary aim was to determine predictors for clinical success and AE rate associated with early compared with delayed EUS-POD. METHODS This was a retrospective analysis of consecutive patients undergoing EUS-POD between November 2013 and November 2018 at a single tertiary academic center. Demographic, procedural, and outcomes data were recorded. Clinical success was defined as resolution of symptoms and the fluid collection on cross-sectional imaging without recurrence after transluminal stent removal. RESULTS Seventy-five patients underwent EUS-POD; 42 (56%) were early, of whom 20 were acute. Sixty-three patients (84%) had undergone distal pancreatectomy. Technical success was 100%, and clinical success was achieved in 70 patients (93%) after a mean 2.2 procedures (range, 1-5). Prior percutaneous drainage had been performed in 13 patients (17.3%). Both acute and early drainage versus delayed EUS-POD demonstrated similar rates of clinical success (95% and 93% vs 94%, P = .99) and AEs (21.4% and 15% vs 30.3%, P = .43). Necrosectomy was required less often in the early versus the delayed group. No predictors of clinical success were identified. Early EUS-POD was not a predictor of AEs (P = .65). Infection and collection size >10 cm correlated with increased AE risk (P = .048 and .007, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Early and even acute EUS-POD of POFCs appears to be technically feasible, clinically effective, and safe. EUS-POD should be considered for definitive management of early symptomatic POFCs.

We evaluated the feasibility of gene expression signature detection and the respective landscape of specific tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), cancer/testis (CT) antigens, and immune checkpoints for possible future personalized immunotherapy eligibility. METHODS Dedicated digital mRNA oncologic immune profiling of 770 genes using a Nanostring nCounter® PanCancer Immune Profiling Panel was performed using archived endoscopic ultrasound fine needle biopsy (EUS FNB) PDAC specimens as a case series in a tertiary care setting. RESULTS The spectrum of mRNA gene expression within the tumor specimens revealed that 44.8%, 10.0% and 50.7% of evaluated genes had a ≥ 2-fold increase, a ≤ 2-fold reduction or between <2 and >2 change of mRNA expression, when compared to normal controls. The corresponding landscape of TILs, CT antigens, and immune checkpoints highlighted several possibilities that could potentially be amenable to targeted personalized immunotherapy. This includes members of the Tumor Associated Macrophage family (CD68, CXCL5, and MARCO), members of the CT antigen family (PRAME, TTK and PBK) and the "second generation" checkpoints TIM3 and BTLA. CONCLUSIONS Our study represents the ability to successfully perform digital mRNA expression profile analyses to immunophenotype PDAC EUS FNB specimens by evaluating the expression of >730 genes within the tumor immune microenvironment. This may facilitate the search for novel therapeutic targets, offering the opportunity to go beyond immune monotherapy, but perhaps to use combined immunomodulatory agents.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Precursors of pancreatic cancer arise in the ductal epithelium; markers exfoliated into pancreatic juice might be used to detect high-grade dysplasia (HGD) and cancer. Specific methylated DNA sequences in pancreatic tissue have been associated with adenocarcinoma. We analyzed these methylated DNA markers (MDMs) in pancreatic juice samples from patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDACs) or intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) with HGD (cases), and assessed their ability to discriminate these patients from individuals without dysplasia or with IPMNs with low-grade dysplasia (controls). METHODS We obtained pancreatic juice samples from 38 patients (35 with biopsy-proven PDAC or pancreatic cystic lesions with invasive cancer and 3 with HGD) and 73 controls (32 with normal pancreas and 41 with benign disease), collected endoscopically from the duodenum after secretin administration from February 2015 through November 2016 at 3 medical centers. Samples were analyzed for the presence of 14 MDMs (in the genes NDRG4, BMP3, TBX15, C13orf18, PRKCB, CLEC11A, CD1D, ELMO1, IGF2BP1, RYR2, ADCY1, FER1L4, EMX1, and LRRC4), by quantitative allele-specific real-time target and signal amplification. We performed area under the receiver operating characteristic curve analyses to determine the ability of each marker, and panels of markers, to distinguish patients with HGD and cancer from controls. MDMs were combined to form a panel for detection using recursive partition trees. RESULTS We identified a group of 3 MDMs (at C13orf18, FER1L4, and BMP3) in pancreatic juice that distinguished cases from controls with an area under the receiver operating characteristic value of 0.90 (95% CI, 0.83-0.97). Using a specificity cut-off value of 86%, this group of MDMs distinguished patients with any stage of pancreatic cancer from controls with 83% sensitivity (95% CI, 66%-93%) and identified patients with stage I or II PDAC or IPMN with HGD with 80% sensitivity (95% CI, 56%-95%). CONCLUSIONS We identified a group of 3 MDMs in pancreatic juice that identify patients with pancreatic cancer with an area under the receiver operating characteristic value of 0.90, including patients with early stage disease or advanced precancer. These DNA methylation patterns might be included in algorithms for early detection of pancreatic cancer, especially in high-risk cohorts. Further optimization and clinical studies are needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pre-operative staging of pancreatic adenocarcinoma guides clinical decision making. Limited data indicate that metastasis to celiac ganglia (CG) correlates with poor prognosis. We investigated feasibility and safety of endoscopic ultrasound fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) detection of CG metastasis and its impact upon tumor stage, resectability, and survival in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). PATIENTS We reviewed our prospectively maintained EUS and cytopathology databases to identify patients with FNA proven CG metastasis in patients with PDAC from 2004 to 2017. Clinical demographics, EUS, CT, MRI, cytopathology, cancer stage, and resectability data were analyzed. Survival of PDAC patients with CG metastasis was compared to the expected survival of PDAC patients of similar stage as reported by the United States National Cancer Database. RESULTS Twenty-one patients with PDAC [median age 73 (IQR63-78); 14 (67%) female)], had CG metastasis confirmed by cytopathologic assessment. CG metastasis resulted in tumor upstaging relative to other EUS findings and cross sectional imaging findings in 12 (57%) and 15 (71%) patients, and converted cancers from resectable to unresectable relative to EUS and cross sectional imaging in 7 (37%) and 7 (37%) patients, respectively. In patients with PDAC, the survival of patients with CG metastasis was not significantly different from the overall survival (hazard ratio 0.71; 95% confidence interval 0.44, 1.13; p = 0.15). CONCLUSIONS EUS-FNA may safely identify CG metastases. While CG metastasis upstaged and altered the resectability status among this cohort of patients with PDAC, the survival data with regard to PDAC suggest that this may be misguided.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Diagnostic tools for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) detection and prognostication are limited, with histology remaining the criterion standard. We evaluated the feasibility and safety of EUS-guided liver biopsy (EUS-LB) sampling in NAFLD staging. METHODS In a prospective cohort of NAFLD patients with steatohepatitis and early liver fibrosis based on magnetic resonance elastography (MRE), EUS-LB sampling procedures were performed using a 22-gauge fork-tip core biopsy needle. Samples were evaluated by a blinded pathologist. Total aggregate sample length (TASL), number of complete portal triads, ability to calculate NAFLD activity score, ability to stage liver fibrosis, and ability to provide enough core liver tissue for lipidomics analysis were evaluated. Performance of EUS-LB sampling was compared with MRE. RESULTS Forty-one EUS-LB samples were obtained. The median TASL was 2.4 cm (interquartile range, 2.00-2.75). The median number of complete portal triads per TASL was 26 (interquartile range, 7-62). Of the samples, 100% were adequate to convey NAFLD activity score and fibrosis stage. All samples provided enough core liver tissue to allow the application of lipidomics testing. A significant positive linear association between EUS-LB sampling-detected fibrosis and MRE-detected fibrosis was observed (r = .469, P < .005). Compared with MRE, EUS-LB sampling established early fibrosis in 13 cases that MRE classified as normal. EUS-LB sampling-related adverse events occurred in 7% and were restricted to postprocedural pain. CONCLUSIONS EUS-LB sampling is a viable technique for full NAFLD evaluation and may be superior to MRE in establishing the diagnosis of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis with early fibrosis.

Abstract
The goal of our study was to determine the susceptibility of different pancreatic cell lines to clinically applicable photodynamic therapy (PDT). The efficacy of PDT of two different commercially available photosensitizers, verteporfin and sodium porfimer, was compared using a panel of four different pancreatic cancer cell lines, PANC-1, BxPC-3, CAPAN-2, and MIA PaCa-2, and an immortalized non-neoplastic pancreatic ductal epithelium cell line, HPNE. The minimum effective concentrations and dose-dependent curves of verteporfin and sodium porfimer on PANC-1 were determined. Since pancreatic cancer is known to have significant stromal components, the effect of PDT on stromal cells was also assessed. To mimic tumor-stroma interaction, a co-culture of primary human fibroblasts or human pancreatic stellate cell (HPSCs) line with PANC-1 was used to test verteporfin-PDT-mediated cell death of PANC-1. Two cytokines (TNF-α and IL-1β) were used for stimulation of primary fibroblasts (derived from human esophageal biopsies) or HPSCs. The increased expression of smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) confirmed the activation of fibroblasts or HPSC upon treatment with TNF-α and IL-1β. Cell death assays showed that both sodium porfimer- and verteporfin-mediated PDT-induced cell death in a dose-dependent manner. However, verteporfin-PDT treatment had a greater efficiency with 60 × lower concentration than sodium porfimer-PDT in the PANC-1 incubated with stimulated fibroblasts or HPSC. Moreover, activation of stromal cells did not affect the treatment of the pancreatic cancer cell lines, suggesting that the effects of PDT are independent of the inflammatory microenvironment found in this two-dimensional culture model of cancers.
