Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The field of gastrointestinal endoscopy has evolved from a diagnostic into a minimally invasive therapeutic modality over the past three decades. As advancements in techniques and instruments continue to progress rapidly, the significance of endoscopic therapies has become paramount in the management of various gastrointestinal diseases. With an increasing number of lesions being diagnosed by screening endoscopies, endoscopic mucosal resection is becoming the preferred approach for the resection of polyps and early malignancies. Endoscopic submucosal dissection allows for the en-bloc resection of larger lesions, including colorectal cancer. The evolving landscape of endoscopic capabilities, including the utilization of new instruments and the expanding roles of "third-space endoscopy" enables the safe resection of significant subepithelial lesions. The increasing use of endoscopic ultrasound has enabled the refinement of internal biliary drainage and ablation of pancreato-biliary neoplasms. The use of over-the-scope clips allows for the endoscopic closure of gastrointestinal tract defects which were traditionally treated surgically. Biotechnological advances have expanded stenting options with fully covered metal stents, plastic stents, as well as biodegradable stents. Endoscopic therapies continue to show promising potential in anti-reflux and bariatric procedures.

We are glad to announce this Special Issue dedicated to publishing the most recent therapeutic advances in the endoscopic management of gastrointestinal and pancreatobiliary diseases. We look forward to receiving your original research, review articles, and meta-analyses providing insights into clinical practice as well as advances in future innovations in advanced endoscopy.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Clinical Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Background/Objective: Interventional endoscopic ultrasound (I-EUS) is technically difficult and has risks of severe adverse events due to the scarcity of dedicated endoscopes and tools. A new EUS scope was developed for I-EUS and was modified to increase the puncture range, reduce the blind area, and overcome guidewire difficulties. We evaluated the usefulness and safety of a new EUS scope compared to a conventional EUS scope. Methods: All I-EUS procedures were performed at Juntendo University Hospital from April 2020 to April 2022. The primary outcomes included the procedure time and fluoroscopy time. The secondary outcomes included the technical success rate and the rates of procedure-related adverse events. Clinical data were retrospectively reviewed and statistically analyzed between the new and conventional EUS scopes. Results: In total, 143 procedures in 120 patients were analyzed. The procedure time was significantly shorter with the new EUS scope, but the fluoroscopy time was not different. Among the patients only undergoing EUS-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD), 79 procedures in 74 patients were analyzed. Both the procedure time and fluoroscopy time were significantly shorter with the new EUS scope. Multivariate analysis revealed that a new EUS scope and use of covered metal stents could reduce the fluoroscopy time. The technical success rate and the adverse event rate were not significantly different between the total I-EUS and the EUS-BD only groups. However, the conventional scope showed stent deviation during stent placement, which did not happen with the new scope. Conclusions: The new EUS scope reduced procedure time for total I-EUS and fluoroscopy time for EUS-BD compared to a conventional EUS scope because of the improvement suitable for I-EUS. Full article
