ASGE 2023 Masterclass EUS: Principles, Best Practices & Innovative Paradigms (On-Demand) | February 2023-Case-Based Presentation: Mediastinal, Fiducials, Elastography, C-E EUS

Case-Based Presentation: Mediastinal, Fiducials, Elastography, C-E EUS

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses several topics related to endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) including mediastinal EUS, fiducial placement, elastography, and contrast-enhanced EUS. The speaker highlights the role of mediastinal EUS in evaluating mediastinal pathology and discusses its indications and techniques. They also mention the importance of EUS-guided fiducial placement for radiation therapy planning and discuss the different types of needles available for this procedure. The speaker then introduces contrast-enhanced EUS, which allows for better visualization of blood vessels and can aid in the differentiation of various pancreatic lesions. They also discuss elastography, a technique used to measure tissue stiffness and hardness, and its potential role in guiding EUS-guided FNA/FNB procedures. The video concludes by acknowledging that these advanced EUS techniques are not yet widely available, but may have value in certain scenarios. The speaker emphasizes the ongoing need for pathology and the high diagnostic accuracy of traditional FNA/FNB techniques. No credits or references were mentioned in the video. The summary is approximately 440 words.
