Evolution and Cases In Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) (On-Demand) | March 2021

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video presentation is a webinar on Evolution and Cases in Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) by Dr. John Martin. The webinar focuses on the complexity of stenting procedures, including biliary stents and gallbladder stents. Dr. Martin discusses the importance of planning and obtaining good cross-sectional imaging prior to the procedure. He emphasizes the need for targeted guidewire and navigation techniques to successfully access and stent the intended ducts. Dr. Martin also provides tips and recommendations for choosing the appropriate stent type, length, and placement. He shares several case examples of complex hyaluronic structures and demonstrates the use of hydrophilic angled guidewires, balloon dilations, and stent insertions. Additionally, Dr. Martin briefly discusses biliary radiofrequency ablation (RFA) as a treatment option for certain bile duct malignancies. The webinar concludes with a tour of Dr. Martin's endoscopy unit at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. Overall, the webinar aims to provide insights and practical guidance for performing complex stenting procedures in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography.
