Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Nagi Reddy presents a live demonstration of two ERCP cases and two endoscopic ultrasound cases. The first case demonstrates the treatment of an 80-year-old female patient with obstructive jaundice and weight loss. The patient had severe cholangitis and was offered palliation due to contraindications for surgery. Dr. Reddy performs an RFA (radiofrequency ablation) to treat the patient's tight stricture and uses long wires for access. He explains the importance of temperature control during RFA and discusses the size of the stents to be used. Dr. Reddy also highlights the need for antibiotics before and after the procedure and touches on the decision to place one stent after another or to use side-by-side stenting. The procedure is conducted in the prone position, and fluoroscopy is used to guide the placement of the stents. The video ends with a brief discussion on deploying the stents and transitioning to the next case.
