Abstract
Visceral aneurysms are a rare but important form of abdominal vascular disease. Rupture of the aneurysms leads to serious symptoms, such as acute abdomen or abdominal bleeding. However, duodenal obstruction due to arterial rupture of an aneurysm is very rare. We herein report a 50-year-old woman with suspected segmental arterial mediolysis (SAM) who was first diagnosed with acute abdomen and duodenal obstruction. Rupture of a pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysm was confirmed, and she was treated with transcatheter arterial embolization. In cases of acute abdomen, SAM is a rare but important possibility to consider as a differential diagnosis.

Abstract
Duodenal obstruction is often accompanied with unresectable malignant distal biliary obstruction in patients who have undergone biliary self-expandable metal stent (SEMS) placement. Duodenobiliary reflux (DBR) is a major cause of recurrent biliary obstruction (RBO) after covered biliary SEMS placement. We analyzed the risk factors for DBR-related SEMS dysfunction following treatment for malignant duodenal obstruction. Sixty-one patients with covered SEMS who underwent treatment for duodenal obstruction were included. We excluded patients with tumor-related stent dysfunction (n = 6) or metal stent migration (n = 1). Fifty-four patients who underwent covered biliary SEMS placement followed by duodenal metal stenting or surgical gastrojejunostomy were included. Eleven patients had DBR-related biliary SEMS dysfunction after treatment of duodenal obstruction. There was no difference between the duodenal metal stenting group and the surgical gastrojejunostomy group. Duodenal obstruction below the papilla of Vater and a score of ≤2 on the Gastric Outlet Obstruction Scoring System after treatment for duodenal obstruction were associated with DBR-related covered biliary SEMS dysfunction. Thus, creating a reliable route for ensuring good oral intake and avoiding DBR in patients with duodenal obstruction below the papilla of Vater are both important factors in preventing DBR-related covered biliary SEMS dysfunction.

Abstract
RATIONALE Migration of endoclips and stitches into the duodenum after laparoscopic hepatectomy is incredibly rare with a poorly understood mechanism. PATIENT CONCERNS A 56-year-old woman who underwent laparoscopic left hepatectomy and cholecystectomy in August 2016 was admitted to our hospital with nausea and vomiting in December 2017. DIAGNOSES Abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan showed high density shades in duodenal ampulla. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy showed deformation of the duodenal ampulla into two lumens; hem-o-lock clips and stitches were detected in the upper lumen. Contrast enhanced CT scan revealed gastric cancer with liver metastasis (GCLM). INTERVENTIONS The hem-o-lock clips and stitches were present in the wall of the duodenum; therefore, no attempt was made to remove them. High quality liquid diet, partial parenteral nutrition, and chemotherapy were administered to the patient. OUTCOMES In September 2018, the patient died of hepatic failure caused by GCLM. LESSONS This rare complication of the migration of endoclips and stitches into the duodenum after laparoscopic hepatectomy can cause epigastric pain and duodenal obstruction. The complication could be potentially avoided using absorbable endoclips and stitches or by performing of ultrasonic dissection by a skilled operator.

Abstract
In this case report a 48-year-old man presented with nausea and abdominal pain. Ten days prior he had been treated with an endoscopic epinephrine/saline injection for haemostasis of a bleeding duodenal ulcer and was discharged the following day. At readmission, an abdominal CT revealed severe gastric distention and a gastroscopy showed total duodenal obstruction. Subsequent post-contrast CT revealed that a massive intramural duodenal haematoma was the cause of the total duodenal occlusion. Also, acute pancreatitis was seen. The treatment was conservative, and follow-up gastroscopy showed total resolution of the haematoma.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To summarize experience in the treatment of complex congenital intestinal atresia in children, so as to investigate the key points and effect of the operation. METHODS Medical notes of 49 children with complex intestinal atresia treated between January 2012 and January 2018 were reviewed. The information of age, sex, age at operation, full-term or premature, birth weight, clinical manifestation, auxiliary examination, preliminary diagnosis, treatment process, discharge diagnosis, pathological results and prognosis of patients were analyzed. RESULTS All patients underwent surgical treatment, including 42 cases with laparotomy (85.7%) and 7 with laparoscopic surgery (14.3%); 1 case undergoing laparoscopic surgery was converted to laparotomy due to meconium peritonitis. The mean operation time was (147±43) min (70-270 min); the mean fasting time after surgery was (8±3) d (4-16 d); the mean parenteral nutrition time was (12±6) d (3-30 d). Eleven cases were discharged against medical after operation and lost to follow-up. Among rest 38 children, 1 child (2.6%) received intestinal resection and ostomy five days after operation due to gastrointestinal perforation; 1 child (2.6%) received conservative treatment one month later due to adhered intestinal obstruction and left hospital with cure; 1 child (2.6%) received enterodialysis and ileostomy eight days after operation due to anastomotic leak, and received the operation for the closure of fistula after three months; 4 children had complications including fluid and electrolyte disorders, anemia, hypoproteinemia and so on, and recovered after conservative treatments. Postoperative follow-up showed that 1 child with duodenal atresia had lower body weight at 6 month after operation, but the body weight returned to normal when the child was one year old; 1 child with preterm labor of 32 weeks was treated with enteral nutrition, and gradually restored the normal diet after 6 months. Growth retardation was not observed in other children. CONCLUSIONS With active treatment and reservation of normal bowel tube as much as possible during the operation, the prognosis of children with complex intestinal atresia is usually favorable.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We reported our results of endoscopic gastroduodenal stenting for malignant gastroduodenal obstruction. METHODS This retrospective study investigated cases of malignant gastric and duodenal obstruction treated with gastroduodenal stenting between April 2014 and December 2016. RESULTS The mean operative time was 34 minutes. The mean time to the first intake of solid food was 2.7 days, and the median time was 3 days. Complications were restenosis, vomiting, anemia, anorexia, and gastric pain. In 8 patients, the GOOSS score was improved. In 5 patients, the CONUT score was improved. In 6 patients, the albumin level was improved. The mean overall survival time was 130 days, and the median time was 112 days. CONCLUSION Our study suggested that gastroduodenal stenting for malignant gastroduodenal obstruction was minimally invasive and improved quality of life(QOL)in a short time.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the efficacy of self-expanding metal stents (SEMS) for the palliation of malignant gastric outlet obstruction in patients with and without peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC).
METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of 62 patients who underwent SEMS placement for treatment of malignant gastroduodenal obstruction at our hospital over a six-year period. Stents were deployed through the scope under combined fluoroscopic and endoscopic guidance. Technical success was defined as successful stent placement and expansion. Clinical success was defined as an improvement in the obstructive symptoms and discharge from hospital without additional parenteral nutrition. According to carcinomatosis status, patients were assigned into groups with or without evidence of peritoneal disease.
RESULTS In most cases, obstruction was caused by pancreatic (47%) or gastric cancer (23%). Technical success was achieved in 96.8% (60/62), clinical success in 79% (49/62) of all patients. Signs of carcinomatosis were identified in 27 patients (43.5%). The diagnosis was confirmed by pathology or previous operation in 7 patients (11.2%) and suspected by CT, MRI or ultrasound in 20 patients (32.2%). Presence of carcinomatosis was associated with a significantly lower clinical success rate compared to patients with no evidence of peritoneal disease (66.7% vs 88.6%, P = 0.036). There was no significant difference in overall survival between patients with or without PC (median 48 d vs 70 d, P = 0.21), but patients showed significantly longer survival after clinical success of SEMS placement compared to those experiencing clinical failure (median 14.5 d vs 75 d, P = 0.0003).
CONCLUSION Given the limited therapeutic options and a clinical success rate of at least 66.7%, we believe that SEMS are a reasonable treatment option in patients with malignant gastric outlet obstruction with peritoneal carcinomatosis.

Abstract
Before being superseded by medical management, highly selective vagotomy (HSV) without drainage was the procedure of choice for uncomplicated duodenal ulcer. It is also justified for complications, including perforation and bleeding in selected cases. This prospective study evaluated the effects of HSV plus drainage on solid gastric emptying in 20 patients with chronic duodenal ulcer and pyloric stenosis. Patients were treated with HSV plus pyloroplasty (Heineke-Mikulicz pyloroplasty in five patients, Finney pyloroplasty in six patients and Jaboulay gastroduodenostomy in nine patients) and underwent solid-phase gastric emptying scintigraphic studies pre-operatively and 2 months and 6 months post-operatively. Results were compared with those from 10 controls. No significant differences were observed between the different types of pyloroplasty, although emptying was slightly faster in the gastroduodenostomy group. Gastric emptying returned to normal by 6 months post-operatively. In conclusion, HSV plus pyloroplasty is effective and can be used for the relief of stenosis in selected cases of duodenal ulcer.

Abstract
Hematoma duodenum is a very rare complication of diagnostic endoscopy of the upper gastrointestinal tract when biopsy of the duodenum is performed (average frequency is estimated as 1:1,250 biopsies). Most often, it affects children and young adults without any risk factors. Symptoms result from obstruction of the duodenum and compression of the adjacent structures. Conservative treatment, which consists of parenteral nutrition and aspiration of gastric contents until the absorption of hematoma and patency of the gastrointestinal tract returns, is preferred. This paper describes a 6-year-old boy diagnosed due to short stature and low weight in whom the diagnostic biopsy of the duodenum caused formation of a hematoma in the descending duodenum and led to total ileus and acute pancreatitis. The boy was treated conservatively with good result and complete resolution of symptoms was achived.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer and cholangiocarcinoma are the most common causes of malignant biliary obstruction. They are diseases of increasing incidence and unfavorable prognosis. Only patients with localized disease indicated for surgery have a chance of long-term survival. These patients represent less than 20 % of all patients, despite the progress in our diagnostic abilities.Locally advanced and metastatic tumors are treated with palliative chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy; the results of such treatments are unsatisfactory. The average survival of patients with unresectable disease is 6 months and only 5-10 % of patients survive 5 years.Biliary drainage is an integral part of palliative treatment. Endoscopically or percutaneosly placed stents improve quality of life, decrease cholestasis and pruritus, but do not significantly improve survival. Biliary stents get occluded over time, possibly resulting in acute cholangitis and require repeated replacement.Photodynamic therapy and radiofrequency ablation, locally active endoscopic methods, have been increasingly used in recent years in palliative treatment of patients with malignant biliary obstruction. In photodynamic therapy, photosensitizer accumulates in tumor tissue and is activated 48 hours later by light of a specific wave length. Application of low voltage high frequency current during radiofrequency ablation results in tissue destruction by heat. Local ablation techniques can have a significant impact in a large group of patients with malignant biliary obstruction, leading to improved prognosis, quality of life and stent patency.

Abstract
Duodenal obstruction caused by abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), i.e. "aortoduodenal syndrome," first described by Osler in 1905 is a rare clinical entity, with only several dozens of cases reported in the literature. In the present paper, we systematically searched literature and reviewed them. Databases including MEDLINE and EMBASE were searched from January 1981 to April 2014 using Web-based search engines (PubMed and OVID). Eighteen papers reported 21 cases with aortoduodenal syndrome. Mean age of patients was 74.5±8.4 years, 71.4% of patients were men, and mean AAA diameter was 7.2±2.1 cm. We also discussed confusion between aortoduodenal syndrome and "superior mesenteric artery syndrome" associated with AAA.

Abstract
AIM: To investigate the predictive factors of self-expandable metallic stent patency after stent placement in patients with inoperable malignant gastroduodenal obstruction.
METHODS: A total of 116 patients underwent stent placements for inoperable malignant gastroduodenal obstruction at a tertiary academic center. Clinical success was defined as acceptable decompression of the obstructive lesion within the malignant gastroduodenal neoplasm. We evaluated patient comorbidities and clinical statuses using the World Health Organization’s scoring system and categorized patient responses to chemotherapy using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors criteria. We analyzed the relationships between possible predictive factors and stent patency.
RESULTS: Self-expandable metallic stent placement was technically successful in all patients (100%), and the clinical success rate was 84.2%. In a multivariate Cox proportional hazards model, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels were correlated with a reduction in stent patency [P = 0.006; adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) = 2.92, 95%CI: 1.36-6.25]. Palliative chemotherapy was statistically associated with an increase in stent patency (P = 0.009; aHR = 0.27, 95%CI: 0.10-0.72).
CONCLUSION: CEA levels can easily be measured at the time of stent placement and may help clinicians to predict stent patency and determine the appropriate stent procedure.

Abstract
AIM: To compare the clinical outcomes of uncovered and covered self-expandable metal stent placements in patients with malignant duodenal obstruction.
METHODS: A total of 67 patients were retrospectively enrolled from January 2003 to June 2013. All patients had symptomatic obstruction characterized by nausea, vomiting, reduced oral intake, and weight loss. The exclusion criteria included asymptomatic duodenal obstruction, perforation or peritonitis, concomitant small bowel obstruction, or duodenal obstruction caused by benign strictures. The technical and clinical success rate, complication rate, and stent patency were compared according to the placement of uncovered (n = 38) or covered (n = 29) stents.
RESULTS: The technical and clinical success rates did not differ between the uncovered and covered stent groups (100% vs 96.6% and 89.5% vs 82.8%). There were no differences in the overall complication rates between the uncovered and covered stent groups (31.6% vs 41.4%). However, stent migration occurred more frequently with covered than uncovered stents [20.7% (6/29) vs 0% (0/38), P < 0.05]. Moreover, the overall cumulative median duration of stent patency was longer in uncovered than in covered stents [251 d (95%CI: 149.8 d-352.2 d) vs 139 d (95%CI: 45.5 d-232.5 d), P < 0.05 by log-rank test] The overall cumulative median survival period was not different between the uncovered stent (70 d) and covered stent groups (60 d).
CONCLUSION: Uncovered stents may be preferable in malignant duodenal obstruction because of their greater resistance to stent migration and longer stent patency than covered stents.

Abstract
The use of self-expandable enteral stents for palliation of malignant stenosis may present the complication of concealing the ampulla of Vater behind the metallic mesh. Anchoring in the duodenal wall (distal or partial migration) may also be a complication of biliary metallic stents and therefore may cause difficulty in gaining access to the biliary tract. In these cases of difficult access, a fenestration on the prosthesis ( biliary or enteral) can be created to allow reaching the obstructed biliary tract by means of argon plasma (AP). Were retrospectively analysed 7 cases. Under endoscopic vision, AP was directed to filgurate and cut 6 biliary prosthesis and a duodenal stent. Fulguration and cut of biliary stent was performed in 5 cases of distal partial migration and cholangitis. In one case of obstruction caused by distal migration inside the duodenal stent light, cutting of the biliary stent was performed. A window was created in the enteral prosthesis in order to access the ampulla of Vater and place a biliary tract prosthesis. All cases were resolved successfully and without complications. We conclude that the use of AP to fulgurate and cut nitinol prosthesis was effective and presented no complications in this series.

Abstract
AIM: To compare clinical success and complications of uncovered self-expanding metal stents (SEMS) vs covered SEMS (cSEMS) in obstruction of the small bowel.
METHODS: Technical success, complications and outcome of endoscopic SEMS or cSEMS placement in tumor related obstruction of the duodenum or jejunum were retrospectively assessed. The primary end points were rates of stent migration and overgrowth. Secondary end points were the effect of concomitant biliary drainage on migration rate and overall survival. The data was analyzed according to the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology guidelines.
RESULTS: Thirty-two SEMS were implanted in 20 patients. In all patients, endoscopic stent implantation was successful. Stent migration was observed in 9 of 16 cSEMS (56%) in comparison to 0/16 SEMS (0%) implantations (P = 0.002). Stent overgrowth did not significantly differ between the two stent types (SEMS: 3/16, 19%; cSEMS: 2/16, 13%). One cSEMS dislodged and had to be recovered from the jejunum by way of laparotomy. Time until migration between SEMS and cSEMS in patients with and without concomitant biliary stents did not significantly differ (HR = 1.530, 95%CI 0.731-6.306; P = 0.556). The mean follow-up was 57 ± 71 d (range: 1-275 d).
CONCLUSION: SEMS and cSEMS placement is safe in small bowel tumor obstruction. However, cSEMS is accompanied with a high rate of migration in comparison to uncovered SEMS.

Abstract
We treated an 80-year-old woman with gallbladder cancer. Because of her advanced age, chemotherapy was performed, but obstructive jaundice and duodenal stenosis were caused by invasion of the tumor. We inserted a metallic stent into the common bile duct and duodenum 3 times. As a result, she could eat and live at home with good quality of life.

Abstract
A 79-year-old man who had previously undergone partial resection of the remnant stomach and Roux-en-Y reconstruction was diagnosed as having peritoneal recurrence near the ligament of Treitz. In the course of chemotherapy for recurrent gastric cancer, he complained of colic pain. CT examination revealed a marked dilation of the duodenum suggesting the presence of a distal duodenal stricture resulting from the known recurrent tumor. To palliate this intestinal obstruction, we successfully placed an expandable metal stent(EMS) using a double-balloon enteroscope(DBE), which achieved immediate relief of the obstruction and enabled the resumption of oral intake and chemotherapy. While the endoscopic placement of an EMS is available for malignant gastro-intestinal obstruction, it is considerably more difficult to approach the duodenum with Roux-en-Y anastomosis. A DBE has made it possible to place an EMS deep in the small intestine. In the present case, this minimally invasive procedure avoided the need for surgery and greatly contributed to palliation. Thus, EMS placement using a DBE is a possible palliative treatment for malignant small bowel obstruction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Duodenal stenting has become a broadly accepted first line of treatment for patients with advanced malignant gastroduodenal obstruction as these patients are difficult to treat and are poor surgical candidates. AIMS To document duodenal stent performance for palliative management of malignant gastroduodenal obstruction. METHODS Multicentre, single arm, prospective registry documenting peroral endoscopic duodenal stenting procedures in 202 patients. RESULTS Technical success achieved in 98% (CI, 95%, 99%) of stent placements. Increase of Gastric Outlet Obstruction Score by at least 1 point compared to baseline was achieved in 91% (CI, 86%, 95%) of patients persisting for a median of 184 days (CI, 109, 266). By day 5 (CI, 4, 6) after stent placement, 50% of patients experienced a score increase of at least 1 point. Improvement from 14% of patients at baseline tolerating soft solids or low residue/normal diet to 84% at 15 days, 86% at 30 days, 81% at 90 days, 79% at 180 days, and 70% at 270 days. Complications included stent ingrowth and/or overgrowth (12.4%), transient periprocedural symptoms (3%), bleeding (3%), stent migration (1.5%), and perforation (0.5%). CONCLUSIONS Safety and effectiveness of duodenal stenting for palliation of malignant gastroduodenal obstruction was confirmed in the largest international prospective series to date.

Abstract
A 59-year-old woman was admitted because of vomiting, CT examinations it was determined that the cause of vomiting was duodenal stenosis due to hematoma after rupture of the inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysm. In addition, it was believed that the aneurysm had been caused by obstruction of the celiac artery. The aneurysm of the inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery was detected by angiography, and embolization was performed using coils. The embolization was successful. Since then the duodenal stenosis improved and the vomiting symptoms disappeared. We reviewed 28 cases of duodenal stenosis due to rupture of the pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysm in the Japanese literature.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS We evaluated overall clinical outcomes when self-expanding metal stents were used to treat malignant gastroduodenal obstruction; we also evaluated the differences in technical feasibility, effectiveness, and outcomes between covered and uncovered stents. METHODOLOGY We reviewed 134 patients who underwent endoscopic treatment for malignant antropyloric and duodenal obstructions with self-expanding metal stents. RESULTS In all but two cases, the procedures were successful in restoring passage through the obstruction. Forty-two patients (31.8%) experienced stent failure during the follow-up period (23/79 (29.1%) with uncovered stents, 19/53 (35.8%) with covered stents). Stent migration was the most common cause for failure in covered stents (73.7%), while tumor ingrowth was the most common cause in uncovered stents (52.2%). The median technical survival in the uncovered stent group was similar to covered stent group (253 days vs. 247 days, p>0.05). Improvement of oral intake was associated with improvement in performance score, which was significantly improved following stent insertion (p<0.05). In addition, patients whose performance score was improved by stenting had better survival than those who did not (median survival 173 days vs. 74 days, p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Endoscopic stenting for malignant gastroduodenal obstruction appears to be an effective therapeutic modality in terminally ill patients, irrespective of the type of stent. Improvement in stent technology will improve patients' oral intake, which in turn will improve patients' quality of life and survival rate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS Duodenal stenting has become a popular treatment in cases of malignant stenosis. However, a prospective evaluation of the efficacy and morbidity of this procedure has not been performed. A prospective multicenter study of duodenal stenting was conducted by the Société Française d'Endoscopie Digestive (SFED). PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 51 patients were selected (mean age 72), the majority (69%) having pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Palliative treatment was chosen because of irresectability (61.2%), inoperability (18.4%), or both (20.4 %). Enteral Wallstent prostheses were used, and the patients were followed up on day 3, after 1 month, and then every month, with weight measurement, and symptomatic and laboratory evaluation. RESULTS One prosthesis was sufficient in 46 patients. Stent positioning and deployment were correct in 50/51 patients (98%). Twenty patients also underwent biliary stenting in addition to the duodenal stenting. On day 3, 43 patients (84%) were able to tolerate soft solids or a full diet. Six complications were attributed to stenting: three intestinal hemorrhages, two cases of peritonitis due to bowel perforation, and one case of septicemia, and these led to five deaths (mortality 9.8%). Stent dysfunction was observed in 12 cases (23.5%) after a mean delay of 75 days, comprising 11-malignant obstructions and one migration: a new stent was inserted inside the first one and was effective in eight cases; and no treatment was given in the other four patients because of their clinical state. The median survival was 71.5 days. CONCLUSIONS Palliative endoscopic treatment of malignant duodenal stenosis using metallic prostheses is highly feasible, even with associated biliary stenting. Symptomatic improvement is fast. However, the mortality and the obstruction rate are high, suggesting that a prospective trial comparing this treatment with surgery is still required.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was retrospective evaluation of the incidence, predictive factors, and interventional management of stent collapse after placement of a covered metallic stent in patients with obstruction of the gastric outlet or duodenum due to malignant disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS Among 259 patients with symptomatic malignant gastroduodenal obstruction successfully treated with stent placement, stent collapse occurred in 12 (4.6%) of the patients 34-270 days (mean, 101.8 days) after stent placement. Multivariate analysis was performed to evaluate factors predictive of stent collapse. Interventional management of stent collapse also was evaluated. RESULTS Multivariate analysis showed that presence of the stent in the peripyloric region (odds ratio, 27.745; p = 0.036), longer survival time (odds ratio, 1.016; p < 0.001), and absence of chemotherapy after stent placement (odds ratio, 31.661; p = 0.048) were independent predictors of stent collapse. Eleven patients with stent collapse were successfully treated with placement of a second bare stent. The twelfth patient refused further treatment. CONCLUSION Stent collapse is an uncommon delayed complication of placement of covered metallic stents in patients with malignant gastroduodenal obstruction. Collapse occurs most commonly in the peripyloric region, in patients with longer survival times, and in patients who do not undergo chemotherapy after stent placement. Stent collapse can be managed by coaxial placement of a second bare stent into the collapsed stent.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of palliation of malignant biliary and duodenal obstruction with combined metallic stenting under fluoroscopy guidance. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective analysis of 9 patients (6 men and 3 women) who underwent biliary and duodenal stenting was performed. The mean age of patients was 61 years (range: 42-80 years). The causes of obstruction were pancreatic carcinoma in 7 patients, cholangiocellular carcinoma in one, and duodenal carcinoma in the other. Biliary and duodenal stents were placed simultaneously in 4 patients. In other 5 patients dudodenal stents were placed after biliary stenting when the duodenal obstruction symptoms have developed. In two patients duodenal stents were advanced via transgastric approach. RESULTS Technical success rate was 100 %. After percutaneous biliary drainage and stenting bilirubin levels decreased to normal levels in 6 patients and in remaining 3 patients mean reduction of 71% in bilirubin levels was achieved. Tumoral ingrowth occurred in one patient and percutaneous biliary restenting was performed 90 days after the initial procedure. Of the 9 patients, 6 patients were able to tolerate solid diet, whereas 2 patients could tolerate liquid diet and one patient did not show any improvement. Mean survival periods were 111 and 73 days after biliary and duodenal stenting, respectively. CONCLUSION Combined biliary and duodenal stent placement which can be performed under fluoroscopic guidance without assistance of endoscopy is feasible and an effective method of palliation of malignant biliary and duodenal obstructions. If transoral and endoscopic approaches fail, percutaneous gastrostomy route allows duodenal stenting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS Self-expandable metal stents (SEMS) are an effective palliative treatment for malignant biliary and duodenal strictures. Combined biliary and duodenal stenting remains a technical challenge, however. The aim of this study was to evaluate the technical feasibility of an endoscopic approach to double stenting of malignant biliary and duodenal strictures. PATIENTS AND METHODS Consecutive patients referred for palliative gastroduodenal and biliary stenting were followed up prospectively. Patients' demographic characteristics, the site and nature of the strictures, success rates, complications, and survival time were recorded. RESULTS A total of 64 patients underwent double stenting. In 46 patients, biliary obstruction occurred before the onset of duodenal obstruction (by a median of 107 days) (group 1); in 14 patients, biliary obstruction occurred concurrently with duodenal obstruction (group 2); and in four patients the duodenal obstruction preceded the biliary obstruction (by a median of 121 days) (group 3). The duodenal strictures were proximal to the papilla in 31 patients, adjacent to the papilla in 25 patients and distal to the papilla in eight patients. The majority of biliary strictures were in the middle or distal third of the bile duct (in 52/64 patients). Duodenal SEMS were successfully deployed in all patients. Combined endoscopic stenting was successful in 100% of patients in group 1, 86% of patients in group 2, and in 100% of patients in group 3. Taking the three groups together, early complications occurred in 6% of patients and late complications occurred in 16% of patients. The overall median survival after combined stenting was 81 days (range 2-447 days). CONCLUSIONS Combined endoscopic biliary and duodenal SEMS insertion is safe and effective for palliation in malignant biliary and duodenal obstruction. Biliary stenting through the mesh of the duodenal SEMS is technically feasible and has a high success rate.

Abstract
The use of non-invasive imaging techniques to rapidly establish diagnosis has always been an attempt in emergency situations. Recent significant advances in imaging technology have changed approach and algorithm of many emergencies. We present a case of swallowed date stone resulting in duodenal obstruction in a 10-year old child. Following the suspicion of a foreign body impaction which caused symptoms of acute intestinal obstruction, the case was diagnosed precisely by conventional sonography. This spared the patient the laparotomy scheduled initially. Instead, endoscopic removal of the date stone was accomplished successfully with smooth recovery.

Abstract
We report a case of a baby with Down Syndrome and history of a corrective surgery for a duodenum stenosis, which was subjected to a parenteral nutrition with central venous catheter. A two-dimensional color Doppler echocardiographic examination revealed a voluminous oval-shaped mobile inhomogeneous mass adhering to the tricuspid valve. The intraoperative pathology showed that it was a large fungal vegetation. The probable source of Candida Albicans was an infected intravenous catheter. We wish to remark the role of echocardiography in the diagnosis and choice of timing of surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the efficacy of fluoroscopic per oral placement of self-expandable nitinol stents in the palliative treatment of malignant duodenal obstructions. MATERIALS AND METHODS Under fluoroscopic guidance, 82 patients (56 male and 26 female; mean age, 62.3 y) with malignant duodenal obstructions were treated with per oral placement of four types of self-expandable nitinol stents. All patients presented with severe nausea and recurrent vomiting, and their obstructions were inoperable. RESULTS Technical success was achieved in 78 of 82 patients (95.1%). After stent placement, food intake capacity improved in 74 of 78 patients (94.9%). Stent migration occurred in one patient 4 days after placement. A covered stent was placed to cover the ampulla of Vater in 15 patients without external biliary drainage; three of them (20%) became jaundiced. During the mean follow-up period of 74.7 days (range, 9-374 d), eight patients developed recurrent obstructive symptoms caused by tumor ingrowth (n=2) or tumor overgrowth (n=6). They were successfully treated by additional stent placement. The primary stent patency rates were 97.0%, 79.8%, and 44.0% at 30-, 90-, and 180 days, respectively (mean patency, 228.2 d; 95% CI, 153.9-302.5). CONCLUSIONS Fluoroscopic per oral placement of self-expandable nitinol stents is an effective palliative treatment for malignant duodenal obstructions.

Abstract
We evaluated palliative treatment for unresectable malignant stomach pyloric region and the duodenal obstruction using covered self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS). Fifty-seven patients (26 stomach pyloric stenosis, 31 duodenal stenosis) were underwent palliative treatment using covered SEMS. The covered SEMS was Ultraflex stent for esophageal obstruction. The covered SEMS was successfully indwelled in the target region in 56 patients. The patients became able to ingest orally after a mean of 2 days, and 96% of the patients (54/56) became able to eat solid or semi-solid diets later. The SEMS obstruction by tumor ingrowth or hyperplasia was not occurred, so SEMS was maintenance-free. We concluded covered SEMS was useful palliative treatment because it prevented SEMS obstruction by tumor ingrowth or hyperplasia and it was maintenance-free.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Life expectancy in patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer has improved by using new chemotherapeutic regimens. Biliary and digestive stenoses can be endoscopically treated in most cases. However, long-term efficacy of these stenting procedures remains unknown. AIM To evaluate the incidence of biliary and duodenal stenoses as well as technical success and short- and long-term patency of endoscopically deployed stents in patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS All consecutive patients with unresectable cancer of the pancreatic head seen between January 1999 and September 2003 in our center were retrospectively studied. Patients with biliary and/or duodenal stenoses underwent endoscopic stent insertion as first intention therapy. Outcomes included technical and clinical success, stent patency, and survival. RESULTS One hundred patients, median age 65 yr (32-85), with locally advanced (62%) or metastatic (38%) pancreatic cancer were studied. Eighty-three percent received at least one line of chemotherapy. The actuarial median survival was 11 months (0.7-29.3). Biliary and duodenal stenoses occurred in 81 and 25 patients, respectively. A biliary stent was successfully placed in 74 patients (91%). When a self-expandable metallic stent was first introduced (N = 59), a single stent was sufficient in 41 patients (69%) (median duration of stent patency 7 months (0.4-21.1)). Duodenal stenting was successful in 24 patients (96%); among them, 96% required a single stent (median duration of stent patency 6 months [0.5-15.7]). In the 23 patients who developed both biliary and duodenal stenoses, combined stenting was successful in 91% of cases. No major complication or death occurred related to endoscopic treatment. CONCLUSION Endoscopic palliative treatment of both biliary and duodenal stenoses is safe and effective in the long term, including in patients with combined obstructions. Use of such palliative management is justified as repeat procedures are rarely required even in patients who have a long survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The usual treatment of pyloroduodenal peptic stenosis has been mainly surgical, through pyloroplasty or gastric resection, with or without vagotomy. Since the first description of treatment for this peptic complication by endoscopic balloon dilation perfomed by Benjamin in 1982 [2], this procedure has become a therapeutic option in association with the medical treatment of peptic disease. The aim of this study is to evaluate the results involving clinical, endoscopic, and gastric emptying scintigraphy parameters. METHODS Between August 1998 and February 2000, 20 patients with pyloroduodenal stenosis refractory to conservative treatment were treated at the Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Unit of the University of São Paulo Medical School. All patients who presented clinical manifestations of pyloroduodenal stenosis underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy to confirm peptic stenosis. Biopsy of the narrowing for the confirmation of a benign disease and gastric biopsy for Helicobacter pylori detection were performed. The treatment consisted of dilation of the stenosis with type TTS (Through The Scope) hydrostatic balloon under endoscopic control, treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection, and gastric acid suppression with oral administration of proton pump inhibitor. All patients, except one who was excluded from this study, were submitted to a clinical endoscopic assessment and gastric emptying evaluation by ingestion of (99m)Tc before and after the treatment. Endoscopic evaluation considered the diameter of the stenotic area before and after treatment. A scintigraphic study compared the time of gastric emptying before and after balloon dilation. RESULTS Nineteen patients completed treatment by hydrostatic balloon dilation. Clinical symptoms such as bloating (p < 0.0001), epigastric pain (p = 0.0159), gastric stasis (p < 0.0001), and weight gain (p = 0.036) showed significant improvement. The diameter of the stenotic area increased significantly (p < 0.01) after the dilation treatment as well as a better gastric emptying of (99m)Tc (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSION The dilation of the peptic pyloroduodenal stenosis using a hydrostatic balloon is a safe and effective procedure. The evaluation with gastric scintigraphy by ingestion of (99m)Tc is an effective method of assessment for the improvement of gastric function, because its results corresponded to the clinical improvement after endoscopic treatment.
