Endoscopic management of a post-gunshot biliary injury in a conflict zone: a case report from Sudan
Abdominal Imaging 1 min.
Traumatic biliary injuries are rare but serious complications following abdominal trauma, often presenting significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, particularly in resource-limited, conflict-affected settings. We report the case of a 31-year-old male soldier who sustained gunshot injuries to...
Impact of complete vs partial endoscopic healing on long-term outcomes in Crohn's disease: a prospective multicenter study
Abdominal Imaging 1 min.
The STRIDE II guidelines recognize endoscopic healing (EH), defined by an SES-CD score ≤ 2, as one of the main therapeutic targets in Crohn's disease (CD). Nevertheless, complete EH could further reduce the risk of long-term complications in CD. We aimed to assess the risk of long-term complications...
Endoscopic variceal ligation versus sclerotherapy in patients with gastric variceal bleed
Abdominal Imaging 5 min.
Gastric varices (GV) are intricate networks of vascular shunts that connect the portosplenic venous system with the systemic veins of the abdomen and thorax and dilated submucosal veins in the stomach, which form as a compensatory mechanism to portal hypertension [1]. GVs are reported in 5%–33%...
Development of a prediction model integrating cardiac ultrasound parameters for cardiac complications after distal cholangiocarcinoma surgery: a retrospective cohort study
Abdominal Imaging 7 min.
Distal cholangiocarcinoma (dCCA), a malignant tumor of the middle to lower bile duct, is relatively rare but poses significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Radical pancreaticoduodenectomy (Whipple procedure) is the standard curative approach [1, 2]. However, this surgery’s complexity—involving...
