Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video transcript, the speaker discusses the process of axial stent deployment for a large pseudocyst. They emphasize the importance of selecting an optimum puncture site within the stomach that is clear of veins or arteries and allows for easy access to the cavity. The speakers also discuss the size of the axial stents, typically 15 or 20 millimeters, and mention the use of fluoroscopy for confirmation of positioning. They describe the steps for unlocking and deploying the stent, and recommend deploying it within the scope rather than using fluoroscopy to prevent maldeployment. The speakers also discuss the use of dilation and the importance of selecting a location for the stent that allows for easy entry and exit during necrosectomy procedures. They then mention transitioning to ERCP and apologize for the equipment change.
