Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Weill Cornell Medicine, New York, NY, USA. Email: [email protected]. Abstract: Tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) is a rare gastrointestinal pathology of abnormal connection or passage between the esophagus and the trachea. Most frequently, TEF is a primary (congenital) in origin and most often associated with the esophageal atresia (EA). TEF can develop as a consequence of another disease, syndrome or condition (secondary) such as infectious esophagitis, trauma, foreign body or neoplasm. Regardless of the etiology, TEF represents treatment challenge. TEF can present with wide ranging symptoms including cough, choking, gagging, poor growth and occasionally with severe complications of pulmonary aspiration. The diagnostic test of choice remains radiographic imaging. Contrast studies can usually identify majority of TEFs including their anatomical characteristics such as size, location and communication.

    Compatibility of Endoclips in the Gastrointestinal Tract with Magnetic Resonance Imaging Dong Yeol Shin1, Sumi Park2, Ain Kim3, Eung‑Sam Kim4* & Han Ho Jeon1*

    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Compatibility of endoclips in the gastrointestinal tract with magnetic resonance imaging Dong Yeol Shin1, Sumi Park2, Ain Kim3, Eung‑Sam Kim4* & Han Ho Jeon1* There are no clear guidelines on the compatibility between endoclips that remain in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The purpose of this study was to investigate the efect of 3T (T) MRI on endoclips placed in excised pig tissues. Two types of endoclips were assessed: Olympus EZ (HX-610-135L) and QuickClip Pro (HZ-202LR). We assessed tissue damage or perforation and detachment of endoclips under 3T MRI magnetic feld. We also evaluated the magnitude of force required to detach the endoclips from the porcine tissue. We measured the magnetic force acting on the Olympus EZ clips. QuickClip Pro clips were used as a control in this study. There was no tissue damage and no detachment of the endoclips (Olympus EZ and QuickClip Pro) during 3T MRI. The force required to detach the Olympus EZ clips ranged from 0.9 to 3.0 N. The translational magnetic force acting on the endoclips was 3.18 × 10–3 N. Ex vivo experiments showed that the magnetic feld generated by 3 MRI did not cause tissue damage or perforation and did not detach the endoclips. Olympus EZ clips and QuickClip Pro clips in the GI tract appear to be safe during 3T MRI. Endoclips are metallic clips used for hemostasis, anchoring stents, closing intraprocedural perforations, and marking tumors or other structures. During a study conducted in 2009 by Gill et al., a 1.5T (T) magnetic feld was applied to three types of endoclips (Resolution Clip, TriClip, and QuickClip) bound to a piece of gastric mucosa excised from a pig1.

However reports on the use of Ramaiah Memorial Hospitals, Bengaluru, human cadaver for training in diagnostic or therapeutic endoscopy are limited. BSTR 1 Method: Human cadavers were preserved at our center in a customized non Karnataka, Department A of Gastroenterology, formalin based solution which retains organoleptic properties (preserves the Christian Medical College colour, feel, inflation of gut). We studied the feasibility of using these cadavers for and Hospitals, Vellore, training in endoscopy. Endoscopy was performed using PENTAX/ EP 2940 with Tamil Nadu, India a light source processor PENTAX/EPM 3500. Participants performed endoscopy and submucosal injection on cadaver as well as simulator. Before and after simulator and cadaver training, attendees completed a questionnaire on intubation, manoeuvring esophagus, stomach and duodenum for diagnostic endoscopy and scope positioning, needle out, submucosal injection and elevation of mucosa and needle in. The steps of ESD- marking, precut and submucosal dissection were attempted on the stomach of human cadaver. Results: Ten participants with very little prior experience of endoscopy felt the cadaver based training more beneficial in obtaining the sub mucosal plane and positioning the needle for four quadrant injection as compared to the endoscopic simulator (ES). The attendees felt that while ES has the advantage of providing feedback for the procedure, training on cadaver gave more realistic tactile experience and feel of the elasticity of the gut wall.
