Video Summary

The video explains the use of biliary RFA (radiofrequency ablation) for the treatment of bile duct malignancies. The speaker discusses a case of a 65-year-old woman with a high-grade dysplastic adenoma in the ampulla. Despite a successful endoscopic ampulectomy, there were small adenomas remaining in the bile duct. The speaker demonstrates the use of an RFA probe, providing details about the settings and techniques employed during the procedure. They emphasize the significance of electrode placement, duration (90 seconds), and the subsequent placement of a stent. The video concludes with the mention of the patient returning for stent removal after a few weeks. No credits were provided.
