Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) play a pivotal role in the diagnostic and therapeutic management of several gastrointestinal and pancreatobiliary conditions, ranging from benign disease to cancer. Due to their high diagnostic performance and minimal invasiveness, several innovations have been made recently, including artificial intelligence and the use of several kinds of newer stents.The present Special Issue entitled “Endoscopic Ultrasound and Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography in Digestive Diseases” will encompass research articles, case presentations, literature reviews, and meta-analyses concerning the latest advancements in the field.This Special Issue will represent essential reading for both experienced physicians and for trainees and in general for all those who want to know about more advanced procedures, such as endoscopic ultrasound-guided interventions, digital cholangioscopy, and other minimally invasive procedures.This Special Issue will explore but is not restricted to the following topics:

  • Endoscopic ultrasound-guided sampling and interventions in pancreatobiliary and luminal disease;
  • Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography;
  • Digital cholangioscopy;
  • Use of disposable duodenoscopes and biodegradable materials.

We hope that the published data will contribute to scientific discussion concerning these global health problems.

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. Diagnostics 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.

Gastric subepithelial lesions (SELs) are intramural lesions that arise underneath the gastric mucosa. SELs can be benign, but can also be malignant or have malignant potential. Therefore, correct diagnosis is crucial. Endosonography has been established as the diagnostic gold standard. Although the identification of some of these lesions can be carried out immediately, solely based on their echo characteristics, for certain lesions histological examination is necessary. Sometimes histology can be inconclusive, especially for smaller lesions. Therefore, new methods have been developed in recent years to assist decision making, such as contrast enhanced endosonography, EUS elastography, and artificial intelligence systems. In this narrative review we provide a complete overview of the gastric SELs and summarize the new data of the last ten years concerning the diagnostic advances of endosonography on this topic.

Recent years have seen the emergence of endoscopic-ultrasound-guided liver biopsy (EUS-LB) as an effective alternative to traditional (percutaneous or transjugular) liver biopsy techniques. Comparative studies have demonstrated that both endoscopic and non-endoscopic approaches are similar in terms of diagnostic adequacy, accuracy, and adverse events; however, EUS-LB offers the advantage of reduced recovery time. Additionally, EUS-LB enables the sampling of both lobes of the liver as well as the advantage of portal pressure measurements. However, EUS-LB may be argued to have a high cost, although this procedure can be cost-effective if bundled with other endoscopic procedures. Approaches utilizing EUS-guided liver therapy, such as the administration of chemotherapeutic agents and EUS elastography, are in development, and their optimal integration into clinical care is likely to emerge in the coming years. In the present review, we evaluate the available literature on EUS-LB indications, contraindications, variations in needle biopsy techniques, comparative outcomes, advantages and disadvantages, and future trends and perspectives.
