ASGE Masterclass: Barrett’s Esophagus, GERD and Esophageal Adenocarcinoma (On Demand)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, a speaker answers various questions related to band EMR (endoscopic mucosal resection) and Barrett's esophagus. The speaker explains that band EMR can be done without an EMR snare kit, but it becomes more challenging as the snare cannot be passed alongside the banding device. They discuss the use of APC (argon plasma coagulation) for band EMR resection margins, with differing opinions on its necessity. The topic of obesity and sleeve gastrectomy is also addressed, with the speaker mentioning reflux concerns and the need for monitoring. The video ends with information about hands-on courses for Barrett's management for gastroenterologists.
