Video Summary

In this video, submitted by Alexis Bayoudin and featuring additional authors Kenneth Bindmuller, Chris Hammersky, Rabindra Watson, and Andrew Nett, a case is presented involving a 61-year-old female with a history of cervical cancer. The patient experienced chronic symptoms and recurrent iron deficiency anemia due to a capsule endoscope becoming stuck in her ileum. Multiple attempts at removing the capsule using endoscopy were unsuccessful, so a lumen-opposing metal stent was placed to dilate the stricture and allow for capsule removal. After three months, the stent was removed and the capsule was successfully extracted. The video emphasizes the use of lumen-opposing metal stents for stricture therapy and capsule removal in cases where traditional dilation methods may not work.
