An electronic curved linear array ultrasound gastroscope (GF-UCT260, Olympus, Tokyo, Japan) was used for lesion orientation. A 19-G (Expect Slimline, Boston Scientific, Marlborough, MA, USA), a 22-G (Expect Slimline, Boston Scientific, Marlborough, MA, USA), a 22-G (Chiba biopsy needle, Cook Medical, Bloomington, IN, USA), a 22-G (SonoTip TopGain, Medi-Global, Achenmuehle, Germany), a 25-G (Expect Slimline, Boston Scientific, Marlborough, MA, USA), or a 25-G (SonoTip TopGain, Medi-Global, Achenmuehle, Germany) was used for puncture. The puncture needles were chosen by the operator, based on the size, site, and blood supply of the lesions.

Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Cyst Analysis

All EUS procedures were performed by two experienced endosonographers (F.V.B. and P.M.R.), each possessing more than a decade of experience in EUS practice and having completed over 1000 procedures. The procedures were carried out using Olympus® GF-UCT180 and Olympus® GF-UC140 curvilinear echoendoscopes, coupled with the Olympus® EU-ME2 ultrasound processor. All interventions were performed under anesthesiologist-guided for sedation. Cystic lesions were punctured using 19-gauge or 22-gauge FNA needles (Expect™ Slimline, Boston Scientific Corp., Marlborough, Massachusetts, USA) either through the stomach for lesions situated in the body or tail, or via the duodenum for lesions located in the head of the pancreas. For patients with more than one cystic lesion, only the larger was considered for analysis.
Glucose was measured using both an on-site and a laboratory approach. On-site glucose measurement was performed using a conventional glucometer (GlucoMen® Aero 2K, A. Menarini, Firenze, Italy), with a range between 20-600 mg/dL. All samples with glucose levels < 10 mg/dL were recorded and analyzed as 19 mg/dL. In patients with an appropriate cyst fluid volume, the values of CEA levels were determined.

Endoscopic Gastric Remnant Access

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

All procedures were performed under general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation and under fluoroscopic-guidance. A standard therapeutic channel oblique linear echoendoscope (GFUCT180; Olympus) was introduced into the gastric pouch or jejunum (Roux limb). The closest puncture point between the gastric pouch and the gastric remnant (excluded stomach) was located. A puncture point between the jejunum (Roux limb) and gastric remnant was sought if a gastrogastric puncture point was not identifiable. Color Doppler was used to identify and avoid intervening vasculature. Transmural puncture of the gastric remnant was performed using a 19-gauge aspiration needle (Expect Slimline; Boston Scientific). The needle stylet was withdrawn, and water-soluble contrast medium was injected into the gastric remnant, under fluoroscopy, to confirm needle placement. The gastric remnant was distended by injection with at least 100 mL of contrast medium and sterile water, under endosonographic and fluoroscopic visualization. A 20-mm ECE-LAMS was deployed into the gastric remnant via freehand technique.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
