Smith MR, Tidswell R, Tripathi D. Outcomes of endoscopic human thrombin injection in the management of gastric varices. Eur J Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2014 Aug; 26(8): 846-52.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE:

Endoscopic human thrombin injection appears to be a technically simple and efficacious alternative to tissue adhesives with fewer complications; however, data remain limited. We analysed our experience using endoscopic human thrombin injection for gastric varices in a tertiary referral liver unit.

Saito T, Terui K, Mitsunaga T, Nakata M, Kuriyama Y, Higashimoto Y, Kouchi K, Onuma N, Takahashi H, Yoshida H. Role of pediatric endoscopic retrograde Cholangiopancreatography in an era stressing less-invasive imaging modalities. J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr. 2014 Aug; 59(2): 204-9.

Abstract

BACKGROUND:

The significance of pediatric endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) according to age or disease variation is inconclusive. This study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of pediatric ERCP in diagnosing or treating small children with pancreaticobiliary disorders, including choledochal cyst (CC) and biliary atresia (BA).
