nodular lesions (EMR-F) combined with ablation of remaining Barretts mucosa. EMR-F may miss synchronous lesions that are not endoscopically apparent. There have been reports of sub-squamous recurrence of HGIN post-ablation. Circumfer- ential EMR (EMR-C) alone is an alternative therapeutic option but it is restricted due to complications, especially stricture formation in 40-50%. Aim: To test the feasibility and safety of single session EMR-C followed by covered metal stent placement in patients with HGIN and long segment BE. Methods: Patients with HIGN presenting to our center were consented. Patients were included if they had long segment BE (length O3cms) and pre-EMR pathology with at least high-grade dysplasia. EMR-C was performed with using band-ligation assisted mucosectomy technique followed by placement of a fully covered metal stent. The stent was anchored in place using an endoscopic suturing system. Stent removal was scheduled in 3-4 weeks and further endoscopic follow-up was in 2 months. Outcomes and complications were recorded. Results: 7 patients were treated (male Z5; median age 62). Median BE length was 6cms (range 4-10). Median procedure time was 104 minutes. Stents were anchored in 6/7 patients (median number of sutures was 2). Stents were removed or migrated in 17 days (6-25). On 2 month follow-up pathology, complete eradication of HGIN was seen in 7/7 (100%) patients and complete eradiation of BE in 5/7 (72%). Strictures formed in 2 patients (28%) and both were remediated with endoscopic dilation (1-2 sessions). No patients had long-term dysphagia. Stent migration was seen in 2 patients (1 patient did not have suturing for stent anchor performed). Conclusions: Single session circumferential EMR followed by stent placement ap- pears safe and feasible. Immediate stent placement post EMR may facilitate reduc- tion in stricture formation. Anchoring the stent is important to prevent migration. 979 Endoscopic Pyloromyotomy Through a Gastric Submucosal Tunnel Dissection for the Treatment of Gastroparesis After Surgical Vagal Lesion Dalton M. Chaves*, Eduardo G. De Moura, Luiz H. Mestieri, Everson L. Artifon, Paulo Sakai Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Unit, University of Sao Paulo Medical School, São Paulo, Brazil Pyloroplasty is a surgical technique used to treat pyloric stenosis for benign diseases, as hypertrophic pyloric stenosis, peptic ulcer scarring, systemic sclerosis and also during surgeries as vagotomy or gastric tube reconstruction after esophagectomy, leading to slow gastric emptying and gastric dilation. The Heineke-Mikulicz tech- nique is the gold standard for treating pyloric stenosis. It consists on a transverse incision of the pylorus with a longitudinal suture, preserving the mucosal layer. Endoscopic alternatives for surgical techniques are up to now Balloon dilation, Botulinum toxin injection or Full-thickness section of the pylorus. The technique presented in this video shows a totally endoscopic pyloromyotomy, through a submucosal gastric tunnel dissection, preserving the serosa intact and also main- taining the mucosal layer at the pyloric channel. This procedure was performed in a 38 yo female. The patient had gastroesophageal reux disease in irregular treatment for 3 years. 3 months prior to the procedure, Barrett esophagus was diagnosed, and fundoplication was performed. 15 days after the surgery the patient presented with diarrhea, epigastric pain and abdominal distention. EGD showed gastric stasis. Had no changes in symptoms with prokynetic meds. Pyloromyotomy was then per- formed. After the pylorus identication, 2cm proximal to it, in the greater curvature of the stomach, a gastric submucosal space was tunneled up to the pylorus, using the following technique: A) Injection of the Methylene blue with saline solution in the submucosal to elevate it; B) Mucosal incision (1.5cm) to create an entry to the submucosal space, employing Flush knife; C) Dissection of the submucosal until identifying the pyloric muscle; D) Complete section of the pyloric muscle, keeping intact the adjacent serosa; E) Closure of the gastric tunneling with metallic clips. Patient was discharged 3 hours after the procedure, and for 12 hours was on n.p.o. Liquids were then offered for 48 hours and soft diet for 5 days. The patient had very good increase in her quality of life. This technique is feasible, easy to perform, and may be alternative to pyloroplasty in selected cases 980 Endoscopic Enucleation of Upper Gastrointestinal Submucosal Tumors Originated From Muscularis Propria Zhiguo Liu*, Gui Ren, Xiaoyin Zhang, Yanglin PAN, Xuegang Guo, Kaichun Wu Xijing Hosptial of Digestive Disease, Xi, China Background: Submucosal tumors originated from muscularis propria of upper gastrointestinal tract is difcult and challenging to remove by conventional endo- scopic submucosal dissection (cESD) method due to high perforation rate. Proper closure of mucosal defect is essential to prevent perforation related complication. Metallic clip is the most common method to close perforation. However, the failure rate is high since the size of mucosal defect is usually large. Endoscopic enucleation (EN) has been proposed previously to preserve mucosa and facility clip closure, but comparative studies had been scarce. In the current retrospective study, endoscopic enucleation was compared to conventional ESD to clarify its safety and efcacy in treating submucosal tumor. Methods: Endoscopic enucleation was attempted using needle-tip Hybrid knife and insulated-tip knife in 35 patients (12 male, mean 54.3+/- 11.6 years) with submucosal tumor of esophagus (11) or stomach (24) from Oct 2010 to Mar 2013. Thirty-ve submucosal tumors from 35 patients (13 male, mean 50.4+/-11.3 years) removed by conventional ESD during the same period were included as control. Results: All tumors were successfully removed in EN group, while 1 patients in cESD group were transferred to emergency surgery due to un- successful closure of perforation (100% vs. 97.1%, pZ.310). The median size of the submucosal tumor was 18.0 mm (12.0-25.0) in EN group compared to 25.0 mm (12.0-30.0) in cESD group (pZ.260). The en bloc rate of was 97.1% compared to 82.9% in cESD group (pZ.046). Perforation rate was 22.9% in EN group compared to 31.4% in cESD group (pZ.612). Clip closure was attempted in 33 and 20 cases, respectively. Satisfactory closure was achieved in 32 patients (97.0%) in EN group compared to 9 patients (45.0%) in cESD group (pZ.000). Twelve patients with unsatisfactory closure were treated conservatively by extending fasting time and gastric tube drainage. The median procedure time was 28.0 min (IQV 20.0-38.0) in EN group compared to 57.0 min (33.0-79.0) in cESD group (pZ.000). The median mucosal closure time was 6.0 mm (4.0-9.0) in EN group compared to 11.0 mm (7.0- 24.5) in cESD group (pZ.001). Follow-up endoscopy revealed no tumor recurrence and complete healing of the iatrogenic ulcer. Conclusions: Endoscopic enucleation of submucosal tumors originated from muscularis propria of upper gastrointestinal tract appears to be safer and less time consuming compared to conventional ESD. Further prospective randomized controlled studies are required to conrm the safety and efcacy of this method. 981 Endoscopically Percutaneous Walled off Pancreatic Necrosectomy Jorge Cerecedo-Rodriguez*, Eduardo Alanis-Monroy, Andres Hernandez-Trejo, Maria D. Benitez-Tress-Faes, Jairo Barba-Mendoza Endoscopia HGZ 32, Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social, Mexico City, Mexico We present the case of a 46-year-old male patient with infected walled of pancreatic necrosis after an onset of acute biliary pancreatitis. A left abdominal percutaneous drain was placed during a laparotomy, out of our institution, into the collection but since it had a small caliber it wasnt functional. We exchanged that drain for an esophageal partially covered metallic self-expandable stent using the Seldingers technique, to allow a better drainage and to perform endoscopic necrosectomy. We documented the exchange technique, the aggressive necrosectomy and the positive outcome. 982 A New Technique for Exact Tumor Margin of Early Gastric Cancer : Fluorescein-Enhanced Autouorescence Image MI-Young Kim*, Joo Young Cho, Jun-Hyung Cho Digestive Disease Center, Soonchunhyang University Hospital, Seoul, Republic of Korea Background: Autouorescence imaging (AFI) has been reported to be a clinically promising endoscopic system to diagnose gastrointestinal neoplasia. However, the use of AFI for gastric neoplasia is limited. Fluorescence-enhanced AFI is a novel method using additional intravenous injection of uorescein to AFI. We report a new technique for exact tumor margin of early gastric cancer using uorescein-enhanced AFI. Case: The patient was 67-year old female. She was admitted to our hospital for treatment of early gastric cancer. The lesion was about 1.8 cm, 0-Ip, located on the lesser curvature side of the antrum. Narrow band image showed demarcated tumor margin, irregular microvascular patterns and microsurface pattern. AFI depicted the tumor as purple areas in a green background. After intravenous uorescein injec- tion, irregular tumor vessels were distinguished from normal mucosal and submu- cosal vessels. The tumor margin was determined by abnormal mucosal surface with uneven uorescent pattern. After endoscopic submucosal dissection, the lateral extent of the tumor using uorescein-enhanced AFI showed good concordance with pathology. Conclusion: Fluorescein-enhanced AFI seems to be a feasible and useful endoscopic system for determination of exact tumor margin in early gastric cancer. Our promising preliminary results warrant further clinical usefulness of uorescein- enhanced AFI. 983 Buried Bumper Syndrome: Single Step Endoscopic Management and Replacement Paul Christiaens*, Peter Bossuyt, Pieter-Jan Cuyle, Veerle Moons, August -.
