Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Aaron Shields, a gastroenterologist and Clinical Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Illinois College of Medicine, presents on the topics of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). ERCP is primarily used for the diagnosis and management of pancreatic and biliary diseases, with a shift towards therapeutic procedures rather than diagnostic ones. Dr. Shields explains the procedure and its potential complications, emphasizing the importance of appropriate patient selection, informed consent, and post-procedure management. EUS combines endoscopy with high-frequency ultrasonography and is useful for diagnosing and managing a range of gastrointestinal and non-gastrointestinal conditions. Dr. Shields discusses the indications for EUS and highlights its safety compared to ERCP. The presentation concludes with practice pearls, including the importance of patient selection, anticoagulation management, and early recognition of complications.
