THE TRANS LAMS SUTURE TECHNIQUE AS A NOVEL METHOD TO DECREASE RISK OF STENT MIGRATION IN SINGLE-SESSION EDGE PROCEDURES

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the trans-LAM suture technique, a novel approach to reduce stent migration risk in single-session EDGE procedures for patients who have undergone Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgeries. The EDGE procedure uses lumen-opposing metal stents (LAMs) to create access for interventions, but stent migration can still occur. The trans-LAM suture provides additional stability by anchoring the stent on both sides, potentially lowering migration and perforation risks. The technique involves suturing the LAMs in place during the procedure, improving overall stent security. This method aims to enhance patient outcomes, although further studies are required for validation.
