Video Summary

In this video, a 55-year-old woman with a history of hypertension, obesity, gastric bypass, alcohol abuse, and an ankle injury is discussed. The woman was admitted to an outside hospital and underwent several scopes and blood transfusions due to ongoing bleeding. The speaker, a member of the bleed team, describes the use of a gait stent to address the bleeding in the remnant stomach. Additionally, a full-thickness suture technique is used to address the bleeding site. The speaker mentions the use of various tools, such as the clear plastic cap and hemo spray, to achieve hemostasis. The patient eventually recovered and had the stent removed. The speaker also discusses alternative options, such as involving a surgeon, for cases like this. The video was presented by Chris Gostout.
