EUS Around the World: Focus on New Technology & Techniques (On-Demand)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video is a recording of a webinar titled "EOS Around the World: Focus on New Technology and Techniques" hosted by the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE). The webinar features two moderators, Dr. Vivek Kohl and Dr. Ji Bang. Dr. Anthony Teo is the first speaker, discussing novel endoscopic ultrasound (EOS) devices and techniques, including specific devices for EOS-guided procedures such as the Axios stent and tubular stents. He also discusses the endorotor device for necrosectomy, measuring portal pressure with EOS, and using radiofrequency and microwave ablation for tumor treatment. Dr. Sandeep Lattakia is the second speaker, focusing on unmet needs and emerging technologies in interventional EOS, specifically biliary and pancreatic duct interventions, tumor ablation, direct endoscopic necrosectomy, and measuring portal hypertension. He highlights the potential of combining techniques for improved management of gastrointestinal pathologies. The summary provides an overview of the topics discussed in the webinar and highlights the key points made by the speakers.<br /><br />The content of the video discusses various procedures and devices in the field of endoscopy. Examples include the Cotri-enhanced LAMS, SPAXs, and Axios, which revolutionize US interventions with their single catheter system. Long-term patency of LAMS and tubular stents in colorectal diagnostics is explored, with recommendations for preventing complications. The use of fully covered or partially covered stents for hepatogastrostomy is mentioned, along with the importance of accurate marking and visibility of radiopaque markers on x-rays. Guide wire manipulation, stiffer balloons for stone removal, and dilating the papilla are also discussed. New devices in development, such as the Beacons Terp for endoscopic necrosectomy and the Over-the-scope Grasper for removal of necrotic debris, are presented. Finally, the Echo Endoscopy using the Endosound technology is introduced as a cost-effective way to convert any endoscope to an EUS scope, expanding access to EUS technology.
