ASGE Therapeutic EUS for Advanced Endosonographers (Live and Virtual) | September 2022-Lab Hands on Virtual Demonstration Part 2

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video transcript discusses the use of the Axios stent in therapeutic endoscopy procedures, particularly in accessing and draining collections such as pseudocysts and necrotic tissue. The Axios stent is a valuable addition to the toolbox of advanced endoscopy, allowing access to areas and providing assistance in helping patients in ways that were not possible previously. The video emphasizes the importance of proper technique, including the use of the electrocautery-assisted Axios stent and the need to be cautious about puncturing the gallbladder or bile duct. The speaker recommends working with a Boston Scientific representative for assistance and guidance with cases and ensuring the proper setup of equipment. The video also discusses the deployment of the stent, the use of hydrophilic coatings, the importance of ultrasound guidance for proper placement, and the potential for complications such as stent migration. The speaker advises on troubleshooting techniques and provides insights into best practices for different procedures such as pancreatic collections, gallbladder-edge procedures, bile duct drainage, and gastrojejunostomy. The recommendation for growing skills in transluminal endoscopy includes starting with pancreatic collections, followed by gallbladder-edge procedures, EUS bile duct, and finally EUS-GJ. Overall, the video provides a summary of the content and key points discussed in the transcript.
