Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the video, Dr. Myunghoon Kim discusses a case of a 79-year-old man with multiple health issues and pancreatic cancer who underwent various procedures to alleviate symptoms and manage obstructions. Initially, the patient received an EUS-guided drainage of his gallbladder due to acute choicestitis. Later, a pancreatic gastrostomy was performed using lambs to address main pancreatic duct dilation. Subsequently, a gastrojejunostomy was created to treat gastric outlet obstruction. Despite multiple interventions, the patient experienced relief from symptoms and eventually passed away peacefully under palliative care. The case highlights the use of innovative procedures, such as pancreatic metal stents and lambs, for palliative care in complex cases.
