A BLEEDING CRISIS UNVEILED INNOVATIVE ENDOSCOPIC RESOLUTION OF A GASTRIC PSEUDOANEURYSM

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the management of a rare, life-threatening gastric pseudoaneurysm causing upper gastrointestinal bleeding in an 84-year-old male. It emphasizes the importance of prompt diagnosis and intervention. Initial treatments included blood transfusion and airway protection. A CT scan identified a pseudoaneurysm, but angiography was inconclusive. Endoscopy and ultrasound confirmed the lesion, and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) guided the successful intervention using embolization coils and cyanoacrylate, leading to patient stabilization. Follow-up confirmed resolution. This case highlights the effectiveness of a multidisciplinary approach and EUS-guided techniques for addressing gastric pseudoaneurysms.
