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

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the video transcript, the speaker discusses a variety of topics related to advanced endoscopy procedures, specifically focusing on the use of the Lumen Apposing Metal Stent (Axios stent) for therapeutic endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). The speaker explains that the Axios stent is an exciting addition to the toolbox of advanced endoscopy, particularly for access and therapeutic EUS. The electrocautery-assisted Axios stent allows for advanced procedures to help patients in ways that were not possible a few years ago. The speaker recommends that, if possible, a Boston Scientific representative should be present during the cases to provide assistance and guidance. The transcript also covers the procedure for deploying the Axios stent, discussing the equipment and techniques used. The speaker mentions the use of a hydrophilic coating on the catheter and the importance of maintaining a stable scope during the procedure. The transcript also addresses troubleshooting issues and potential complications that may arise during the procedure, as well as the follow-up care for patients who have had an Axios stent placed.
