ASGE Esophagology: Tailoring Management from Testing to Treatment (On-Demand) | July 2022-Esophagology Virtual Demonstration 5

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, two doctors demonstrate the use of the Esophix XZ device for the management of GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). The device is used to create a gastroesophageal plication and a fund duplication, which involves retracting the esophageal wall to increase the length of the lip valve. The device fires 20 T fasteners, which are housed in a cartridge and fired in sequence to create the fund duplication. One end of the cirrhofuse, made of one O-proline, is placed in the esophagus, while the other end is placed in the stomach. Once the healing occurs, a durable cardioesophageal wrap is created. The video demonstrates the process of loading the cartridge with the fasteners, engaging the tissue mold, and performing the rotation and firing. The wrap is demonstrated in a model, showing how the T fasteners hold the wrap in place. The video concludes by thanking the doctors and the ASGE team for organizing the course and welcoming any questions from viewers.
