Article Title: Management of walled-off necrosis with nasocystic irrigation with hydrogen peroxide versus biflanged metal stent: randomized controlled trial *

doi: 10.1055/a-1480-7115

Figure Lengend Snippet: Flowchart of study design. WON, walled-off necrosis; EUS, endoscopic ultrasound; H 2 O 2, hydrogen peroxide; BMS, biflanged metal stent.

Article Snippet: A 0.035-inch guidewire (Jag Wire; Boston Scientific, United States) was then inserted through the needle into the WON cavity and coiled (at least 2–3 loops) under EUS guidance and we did not use fluoroscopy during the procedures as we were doing these procedures regularly without fluoroscopy.

Article Title: The location of obstruction predicts stent occlusion in malignant gastric outlet obstruction

doi: 10.1177/1756283X16667893

Figure Lengend Snippet: (a) Malignant duodenal obstruction, (b) Jag guidewire passing through the obstruction, (c) Wallflex duodenal stent is deployed, and (d) post-stenting X-ray confirms stent placement, here with a severe angle <15°.

Article Snippet: In most cases, a hydrophilic guidewire (Jag guidewire, 450 cm length and 0.89 mm diameter, Microvasive, Natick, MA, USA) was placed across the stricture, the bowel was opacified with contrast to confirm wire placement and stricture location, and a stent was advanced into position and deployed over the wire.
