EUS GUIDED ESOPHAGOESOPHAGOSTOMY IN A PATIENT WITH COMPLETE ESOPHAGEAL OBSTRUCTION

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video discusses a case of a complete esophageal obstruction in an 81-year-old woman with a benign esophageal stricture. She had been unable to tolerate solid or liquid intake and had a J-tube for nutrition. The video explains the endoscopic methods used, including the creation of an EOS-Guided Esophago-Esophagostomy and placement of an esophageal stent to bridge the obstructed areas. The procedure was successful, and follow-up examinations showed healing of the esophagoesophagostomy after the stent removal. The use of a forward-viewing echoendoscope was found to be useful in approximating the proximal and distal esophagus for this procedure. The authors of the case are Mark Redlinsky, Wissam Bliebel, and Vanessa Shami. No credits were mentioned in the video transcript.
