A rare cause of recurrent melena was identified by capsule endoscopy: arteriovenous malformation
(2013)
Small bowel endoscopy is indicated for patients with an unidentified bleeding site in esophagogastroduodenoscopy and ileocolonoscopy and symptoms of intestinal blood loss or unexplained anemia. In approximately two-thirds of these cases, capsule endoscopy (CE) detects a lesion within the small bowel that explains the patient's symptoms.
The case of an 80-year-old female patient with recurrent melena and anemia is presented here by the authors. Endoscopy of the upper gastrointestinal tract as well as ileocolonoscopy did not show any pathological findings. CE revealed an area with abnormal mucosa in the middle third of the small bowel, which was strongly suspected of having malignant origin. Surgical exploration led to resection of a small jejunal segment with a palpable mass and increased blood flow. Surprisingly, the final diagnosis determined by the pathologist was arteriovenous malformation (AVM). This article is part of an expert video encyclopedia.
Small-bowel tumors are rare and account for approximately 5% of all gastrointestinal tumors. Approximately 65% of small-bowel tumors are malignant, and approximately 40% of these tumors are adenocarcinomas. Similar to colorectal adenocarcinoma, premalignant adenomas of the small bowel may progress to carcinoma. This occurs both sporadically and in the context of hereditary tumor syndromes such as familial adenomatous polyposis or hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (Lynch syndrome). Herein cases with small-bowel adenocarcinomas visualized with both capsule endoscopy and double-balloon enteroscopy are presented. This article is part of an expert video encyclopedia.
Dieulafoy's lesion (DL) is a rare source of gastrointestinal tract bleeding that may occur at any site in the gastrointestinal tract and may be difficult to detect by endoscopy. DL is characterized by a large, tortuous arteriole in the submucosa. This is a case of duodenal DL that is detected and treated by endoscopy. This article is part of an expert video encyclopedia.
The author presents the case of a patient with severe bleeding from a duodenal ulcer that could not be controlled by endoscopic application of metal clips and injection of fibrin glue. Angiographic embolization with placement of coils into the feeding vessel stopped the bleeding. However, 3 days later, a fistula emerged from coil material penetrating into the dorsal duodenum and a peritoneal leakage developed. The fistula was completely closed by placing an over-the-scope clip on the enteral opening of the fistula. This article is part of an expert video encyclopedia.
In the stomach, neoplastic lesions often arise in the setting of precursor conditions such as gastritis, intestinal metaplasia, or adenomatous lesions. Biopsies may, therefore, underestimate disease severity or even miss the diagnosis (sampling error). Endomicroscopy is able to visualize typical features of such pathologies. It enables in vivo microscopy of gastritis with definition of enhanced vascularity and vascular leakage, but the typical cobblestone appearance of the gastric mucosa is preserved. The presence of intestinal metaplasia is confirmed by columnar absorptive cells with brush border and goblet cells within villiform foveolar epithelium. Gastric neoplasia is characterized by crowded glands with intraluminal folding and glandular budding and branching accompanied by increased density of dilated and distorted capillaries. Finally, in gastric cancer, gland and overall mucosal architecture is progressively lost. These features are shown side by side with white-light endoscopic findings. Endomicroscopy is used in such a setting to rapidly screen larger areas (optical biopsies) and subsequently target tissue sampling to areas with highly suspicious microscopic patterns. In experienced hands, it therefore constitutes an important part especially in the presence of neoplastic lesions within noncircumscript gastric premalignant conditions.

Operatively altered anatomy such as Billroth II gastroenterostomy represents a challenge in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and might require dedicated instruments. In this article, the authors demonstrate the technique of endoscopic retrograde cholangiography and sphincterotomy in a patient with Billroth's operation-II. Sphincterotomy is performed with a specially designed Billroth papillotome to enable papillotomy in the direction of the papillary roof. This article is part of an expert video encyclopedia.
Operatively altered anatomy might provide a challenge for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. However, with the support of the balloon-assisted enteroscopy technique the access route to the biliary system even in long-limb Roux-Y anastomosis is feasible in most cases.
In this video case report, an 81-year-old woman was symptomatic for stone obstruction of the common bile duct (CBD). Complete gastrectomy had been performed in this patient for stomach cancer many years earlier. Balloon-assisted enteroscopy was used for retrograde access of the duodenum via a Roux-Y anastomosis. There was major difficulty in intubating the CBD via the native papilla in this case because access was prevented by the tangential approach of the enteroscope. After performing an incomplete papillectomy, the insertion of a guidewire into the CBD was feasible and the bile duct stone was removed. This article is part of an expert video encyclopedia.
Small bowel varices may be found in less than 5% of patients with suspected small bowel bleeding. These varices are associated with portal hypertension or thrombosis of mesenteric venous vessels and with altered abdominal vascular anatomy with or without prior small bowel surgery. In bleeding small bowel varices, therapeutic options include endoscopic injection of tissue adhesives, endovascular approaches such as balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous or percutaneous obliteration and transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt, and surgical resection. This is a case report of a 53-year-old patient with ethylic liver cirrhosis who presented with severe, life-threatening hematochezia due to small bowel varices.

Einleitung: Schnell und gut durchgeführte BLS-Maßnahmen (Basic Life Support-Maßnahmen) können die Überlebensrate von Patient*innen mit einem Herzkreislaufstillstand enorm verbessern. Jedoch zeigen sich nicht nur bei medizinischen Laien, sondern bereits bei Medizinstudierenden deutliche Kompetenzdefizite. Die Studierenden selbst messen den Reanimationsfertigkeiten eine hohe Bedeutung bei.
Studierenden bietet das Internet insbesondere bei der rasanten technischen Entwicklung mit mittlerweile fast ubiquitärer Nutzbarkeit über Smartphones und Tablets eine einfache Möglichkeit, Lerninhalte zu vertiefen. Sie nutzen dafür Google, YouTube, Wikipedia und andere Internetquellen. Da es für die meisten Inhalte dieser Opensource-Plattformen keine Qualitätskontrolle gibt, ist die Gefahr groß, dass Studierende durch das Lernen mit Videos auf öffentlichen Plattformen auch Fehler und falsche Abläufe lernen.
Daher wäre eine Liste mit Empfehlungen der Lehrvideos zum Thema Reanimation, die den AHA-Guidelines (American Heart Association) entsprechen, wünschenswert. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurde eine inhaltliche Checkliste entwickelt und zusammen mit einer didaktischen Checkliste zur Bewertung solcher Videos angewendet.
Material und Methoden: Im ersten Schritt des mehrstufigen Studiendesigns erfolgte die Entwicklung der inhaltlichen Checkliste. Die inhaltliche Checkliste wurde basierend auf den AHA-Richtlinien 2015 und des Updates 2017 erstellt. Sie wurde in einem 3-stufigen interdisziplinären Überarbeitungsprozess im Hinblick auf Anwendbarkeit und Verständlichkeit optimiert. Zur Bewertung der didaktischen Qualität der Videos wurde eine validierte Didaktik-Checkliste für medizinische Lehrvideos zugrunde gelegt. Insgesamt wurden 74 Videos der Plattform YouTube von jeweils zwei Reviewern anhand der beiden Checklisten bewertet.
Ergebnisse: Die resultierende Checkliste umfasst 25 Items in den Gruppen Initiale Maßnahmen, Thoraxkompression, AED und Beatmung. Die Bewertung erfolgt anhand einer 3-stufigen Likert-Skala, zusätzlich gibt es die Option Items auszuschließen, falls das Item in dem Kontext des Videos nicht zutrifft oder die Maßnahme bereits erfolgt ist. Die beiden Reviewer stimmten durchschnittlich in 65,06 ±12,56% der Items überein. Kein Video erreichte die vollständige Punktzahl der inhaltlichen oder didaktischen Checkliste. Durchschnittlich erreichten die Videos in der inhaltlichen Checkliste 56,21 ±19,18% und in der Didaktikcheckliste 66,61 ±14,32%. Es konnte kein Zusammenhang zwischen der Anzahl der Aufrufe und dem jeweiligen Score der Videos oder dem Rang der Videos und deren Score festgestellt werden. Die Videos von medizinischen und staatlichen Institutionen schnitten zwar durchschnittlich besser ab, jedoch gab es auch in dieser Untergruppe Videos mit niedrigen Scores.
Schlussfolgerung: Die auf YouTube zur Verfügung gestellten Videos zu Reanimationsmaßnahmen sind häufig von schlechter inhaltlicher Qualität. Trotzdem spielen diese Videos bereits jetzt eine wichtige Rolle im Erlernen der Reanimationsmaßnahmen und werden sowohl von Laien als auch von medizinischem Personal und Medizinstudierenden genutzt. Für die Zukunft wäre daher ein Qualitätssiegel bzw. eine Liste der empfehlenswerten Videos sinnvoll. Da keins der untersuchten Videos uneingeschränkt empfehlenswert ist, anhand der beiden erprobten Checklisten sorgsam neue Videos zu dem Thema zu erstellen.
Here the authors report the case of an elderly woman who had upper abdominal pain, upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage, and jaundice (a symptomatic triad termed the ‘Quincke’ triad) a few days after endoscopic sphincterotomy. Abdominal ultrasonography demonstrated an echo-rich filling of the choledochus consistent with hemobilia. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiography was immediately performed and blood clots were removed from the common bile duct. A nasobiliary catheter was placed to irrigate the bile duct for prevention of recurring obstruction of the bile ducts from blood clots. Further follow-up of the patient was uneventful.
