Video Summary

In this video, a case of an unexpected adverse event during an endoscopy is discussed. A 75-year-old male with esophageal adenocarcinoma underwent an esophageal stent placement procedure due to worsening dysphagia. Endoscopic suturing was attempted to prevent stent migration, but the stent malfunctioned and migrated proximally. The procedure was aborted, and during a subsequent bedside bronchoscopy, suture material was found in the patient's trachea. Using a pediatric upper endoscope, the suture material was successfully removed without complications. The case emphasizes the importance of adapting to unexpected events and the need for a multidisciplinary approach in managing adverse events during endoscopic procedures. No credits were granted in the transcript.
