#1819 Initial Experience of a Novel Endoscopic Full Thickness Resection Device (FTRD) for the Treatment of Rectal Neuroendocrine Tumours

Introduction: Standard endoscopic resection of rectal NETs is often associated with histological incomplete excision due to submucosal position within the bowel. Endoscopic full thickness resection may allow early definitive management.

#526 Association Between Activin A & NT-pro-BNP in Carcinoid Heart Disease and Intestinal Desmoplasia in Patients with Metastatic Midgut and Pelvic NET

Introduction: Carcinoid heart disease (CHD) involves cardiac valvular fibrosis and volume overload. N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP) is released by the myocardium in response to increased wall stress in CHD. Activin A is a member of the TGF-ß superfamily involved in fibrogenesis.

#230 Long-term Follow-up of Tissue Valve Prostheses in Carcinoid Heart Disease

Introduction: Development of carcinoid heart disease (CHD) increases morbidity and mortality. Cardiac valve replacement surgery improves functional class, but tissue prosthesis degeneration can occur early in CHD.
