EGD Masterclass: EoE, Strictures, and Pre-malignant Gastric Conditions (On-demand) | January 2023-EoE Endoscopic Assessment and Dilation

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video is a recording of a medical seminar discussing esophageal strictures and eosinophilic esophagitis (EOE). The presenter, Dr. Iko Hirano from Northwestern University, focuses on endoscopic assessment and dilation for EOE. He discusses various methods for assessing strictures, including barium esophagrams, endoscopy, impedance planimetry, and dilation. Dr. Hirano emphasizes the limitations of endoscopy for detecting strictures and recommends additional testing, such as esophagrams or impedance planimetry, to improve accuracy. He also highlights the importance of careful assessment and detection of subtle strictures, as they may be missed during dilation procedures. The video concludes with a discussion on the safety and efficacy of stricture dilation in EOE, noting that conservative dilation approaches are effective and have a low risk of complications. Overall, the video provides valuable insights into the assessment and management of esophageal strictures in patients with EOE.
