ABCs of EUS: A Complete Roadmap (DV064)-Linear EUS of the Normal Stomach

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the importance of linear endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) in obtaining views of the liver hilum, confluence, celiac axis, and other structures in the stomach. The two key stations for viewing these structures are in the proximal stomach at around 50 cm. The video explains how to navigate through the stomach to find these structures, including the portal vein, celiac artery, celiac ganglia, left adrenal, and hepatic veins. It also provides two methods for finding the pancreas from the stomach: by using the celiac axis and superior mesenteric artery as landmarks or by advancing to the antrum and then pulling back. The video shows how to visualize the body, neck, and tail of the pancreas and discusses the appearance of the pancreatic parenchyma and duct. It also explains the relationship between the liver hilum, portal vein, confluence, and neck of the pancreas. The video emphasizes the importance of rotation and provides guidance on how to interpret the views obtained from linear EUS.
