EGD Masterclass: EoE, Strictures, and Pre-malignant Gastric Conditions (On-demand) | January 2023-Session 2 Case Study Question and Answer

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video features a discussion between medical professionals about a patient with eosinophilic esophagitis (EOE). They review endoscopic photos and biopsy results which confirm the diagnosis of EOE in the patient. The patient was started on proton pump inhibitors (PPI) as first-line therapy, which resolved their dysphagia but not their chest pain. The patient agreed to a repeat endoscopy, which showed persistent furrowing and edema in the esophagus, indicating ongoing activity of EOE. They discuss various treatment options, including increasing the dose of PPI, using viscous budesonide, or combining therapies. The discussion also touches on the use of calcium channel blockers, surveillance for EOE, and the positioning of different treatment options. They mention the need for long-term therapy as there is no cure for EOE currently. The discussion concludes with questions from the audience regarding specific medications and treatment approaches. No credits were given in the transcript.
