Video Summary

In this video, the primary author, Mateus Pereira Funari, along with other authors, Guilherme Oliveira, Maurício Minata, Spencer Schenk, and Eduardo Moura, present a case of a 62-year-old male patient with jaundice and a diagnosis of coladocorritiasis. During the ERCP procedure, there was resistance to the duodenoscope introduction, leading to the use of a gastroscope which revealed a Zanker's diverticulum. An overtube was placed over the gastroscope to access the stomach, and then the duodenum was accessed with the duodenoscope. Biliary sphincterotomy and stone removal were performed successfully, with no residual stones confirmed by cholangiography. Positioning an overtube was found to be a helpful strategy to minimize complications in patients with Zanker's diverticulum during ERCP.
