ASGE Esophagology: Tailoring Management from Testing to Treatment (Live and Virtual) | July 2022-Esophagology Virtual Demonstration 3

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Peter Dragunov and Dr. Shifa Omer discuss esophageal stenting and demonstrate the process. They first introduce themselves and discuss the two major types of stents: through the scope and over a wire. They explain that through the scope stents are less commonly available and require a therapeutic endoscope, while over a wire stents involve inserting a wire through the therapeutic channel of the scope and advancing the stent over the wire. They compare the advantages and disadvantages of different wires used for this procedure. The doctors then demonstrate how to exchange the endoscope with the wire in place, emphasizing the need for coordination and balance. They also discuss the steps for deploying the stent and provide tips for positioning and repositioning it if necessary. The video concludes with a discussion on documenting the placement of the stent and the challenges of repositioning it.
