Outcomes of radiofrequency ablation by manual versus self-sizing circumferential balloon catheters for the treatment of dysplastic Barrett’s esophagus: a multicenter comparative cohort study
Radiofrequency ablation is the preferred ablative modality for treating dysplastic Barrett's esophagus. A self-sizing circumferential ablation cathete...
Prospective development and validation of a volumetric laser endomicroscopy computer algorithm for detection of Barrett’s neoplasia
Volumetric laser endomicroscopy is used to detect Barrett's esophagus (BE) dysplasia. Real-time interpretation of VLE scans is complex and time-consum...
Blown-out myotomy: an adverse event of laparoscopic Heller myotomy and peroral endoscopic myotomy for achalasia
Although laparoscopic Heller myotomy (LHM) or peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is highly effective,10% to 20% of patients with achalasia remain sympt...
Safety and feasibility of same-day discharge after esophageal endoscopic submucosal dissection
Endoscopic submucosal dissection is used for treating early luminal GI cancers. SDD is the standard of care in Asia, where it results in multiday admi...
Safety and effectiveness of peroral endoscopic myotomy in patients on antiplatelet or anticoagulant therapy: an international multicenter case-control study
The risk of bleeding and thromboembolic events in patients undergoing peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) who are receiving antithrombotic therapy is un...
Automated software-assisted diagnosis of esophageal squamous cell neoplasia using high-resolution microendoscopy
High-resolution microendoscopy provides subcellular imaging of esophageal mucosa but requires expert interpretation. We compared endoscopists with an...
Clinical relevance of endoscopic treatment for superficial pharyngeal cancer: feasibility of techniques corresponding to each location and long-term outcomes
Superficial pharyngeal cancers are being detected and treated using endoscopy with increasing frequency. We identify reliable treatments by adapting t...
