UGI Esophagus-COMPLETE ENDOSCOPIC REMOVAL OF ERODED LINX

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, a 58-year-old woman with recurrent heartburn, dysphagia, and weight loss underwent a LYNX procedure for gastroesophageal reflux disease and hiatal hernia repair. However, she experienced recurrent symptoms and new-onset dysphagia. Surgical revision was considered high risk, so an endoscopic dissection of the LYNX device was performed. The eroded LYNX device was carefully dissected and mobilized, and the wire holding the magnets in place was cut using a novel retrieval system. The device was successfully removed, and the area was dilated under fluoroscopic guidance. The patient reported improvement and resolution of symptoms after the procedure. This video demonstrates the safety and effectiveness of endoscopic removal of the eroded LYNX device using the Novoavesco DC Current Retrieval System, providing a less invasive alternative for patients with high surgical risk. No credits were granted in the transcript.
