Endoscopy Live: GERD & Barrett's Esophagus: The Journey Continues (On-Demand)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Nagi Reddy demonstrates an anti-reflux mucosal ablation procedure called AMA. He explains that AMA is a more endoscopy-friendly alternative to GERD-X. Dr. Reddy performs the procedure on a young female patient with symptoms of GERD. He uses an Olympus EZ 1500 scope and an Herbie APC catheter to mark the area on the lesser curve where he will leave the mucosa intact. He then uses APC mode to create a burn and ablate the mucosa. Dr. Reddy explains that leaving a small area of mucosa intact on the greater curve helps prevent stenosis. He further discusses patient selection and post-procedure instructions. Dr. Reddy notes that AMA can be a good solution for patients who have had bariatric surgery or post-POEM GERD. The video concludes with a discussion on the long-term results and the potential for a sham control trial. The video is part of a presentation by the AIG team and is moderated by Dr. Venkat Santosh. No credits are provided.
