Fellows Presentation - EUS Gastrocolostomy Bridging the Gap

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Clement Wu presents a case on EUS gastrocolostomy for a 33-year-old with pancreatic cancer complications, including small bowel infarction, requiring total parenteral nutrition and a gastrocutaneous fistula. EUS gastrocolostomy, a minimally invasive procedure, was chosen to enhance the patient's quality of life by facilitating oral feeding and reducing fistula output. The procedure was successful, improving the patient's ability to ingest a liquid diet within 24 hours and decreasing fistula output. Despite later discovering liver metastases and his passing, the patient experienced improved quality of life with no stent-related issues post-procedure.
