Case: Resection of Ampullary/Duodenal Polyps

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Rabia Latorre, the Director of Endoscopy at Bellevue at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, presents a case on esophageal strictures. The patient was a 50-year-old female with a malignant stricture in her distal esophagus and cardia. She underwent a fully covered metal stent placement, but the stent migrated into the stomach. Attempts to remove the stent were unsuccessful, but eventually a new stent was placed to create a conduit pathway for removal. The old stent was successfully removed using an inversion technique. Stent migration is a known risk in palliative esophageal stent placement for malignant strictures, with larger diameter stents having a reduced risk.
