Hands On Demonstration 1 - EUS Liver

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this virtual hands-on session, Ashley Faux introduces Jen Marenke and Ajaypal Singh, who demonstrate EOS-guided liver biopsy and ERCP with sphincterotomy techniques. They explain that EOS-guided liver biopsy is commonly done at their institutions, particularly for patients with cirrhosis or fatty liver disease. They discuss the importance of selecting the right area in the liver and the use of a 19-gauge needle for better yield. Doppler ultrasound is used to ensure the absence of intervening vessels. After the biopsy, they check for bleeding and hematoma. They also mention the possibility of post-procedure discomfort and hematoma.
