ASGE Advanced Endoscopic Lesion Resection Course (On-Demand)

Video Summary

In this video, the hosts demonstrate the use of the X-TAC device, which is the Through the Scope Endoscopic Helix Tacking System by Apollo. They explain that the device is mainly used for closing mucosal defects and provides a firm, solid mucosal suture. The hosts demonstrate how to attach the device to the shaft of the scope and advance it through the working channel. They then locate a defect to close in a model and attach the device to it. The host slowly closes the device to helix itself into the tissue, ensuring it is fully seated. They repeat this process for multiple tacks. The hosts also discuss the use of the cinch device and explain that the X-TAC device can be used in conjunction with clips. They highlight the ease of learning and potential future utility of the device. The video also introduces the overstitch device, which they will demonstrate in a future video. This video was hosted by Dr. Shifa Umar and Dr. Nauzer Forbes.
