Endoscopy Live: GERD & Barrett's Esophagus: The Journey Continues

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the video, Dr. Uzma Siddiqui from the University of Chicago demonstrates an RFA (radiofrequency ablation) procedure on a patient with a long segment Barrett's esophagus. The patient had high-grade dysplasia two years ago, which was treated with resection and the placement of an Ovesco device. However, the patient developed a stricture at the site of the Ovesco, necessitating further treatment to eradicate the residual Barrett's esophagus. Dr. Siddiqui performs the RFA procedure using a balloon ablation catheter, carefully avoiding the stricture area. The procedure is done in multiple sessions, with ablation followed by removal of coagulum and subsequent ablation. The goal is to completely remove the Barrett's esophagus, and the patient will be monitored with biopsies and follow-up appointments. The video also includes discussions between Dr. Siddiqui and other panel members regarding the procedure and management of Barrett's esophagus. No credits were mentioned in the video.
