ASGE Annual Postgraduate Course: Clinical Challenges and Real-Time Decision Making in GI Endoscopy (On-demand) | May 2023-Evolution and Cases In Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) (On-Demand)

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

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video content featured a presentation by Dr. John Martin on various aspects of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). He discussed the importance of planning ahead and obtaining good cross-sectional imaging to determine the best approach for stenting complex hyaluronic strictures and the gallbladder. Dr. Martin emphasized the need to choose the appropriate type and length of stents for each situation and to ensure targeted access with the guide wire. He also provided tips for successful gallbladder stenting and highlighted the use of biliary radiofrequency ablation for certain malignancies.<br /><br />The presentation included case studies to illustrate the techniques and tools used in ERCP, such as hydrophilic guide wires, balloon dilation, and stent insertion. Dr. Martin shared his work process at Mayo Clinic and provided insights on overcoming challenges, such as navigating the cystic duct and minimizing stent migration.<br /><br />Overall, the presentation focused on the importance of careful planning, understanding different stent options, and using targeted techniques to ensure successful outcomes in ERCP procedures.
