Complex Hilar Stricture Drainage Case

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, a 54-year-old woman with metastatic adrenal cortical carcinoma is suffering from jaundice and intractable pruritus. The oncologists recommend biliary stent placement to improve her condition. The video shows the insertion of a guide wire and a catheter dilator to access and dilate the left duct, which is constricted due to the tumor. Balloon dilation is performed to widen the stricture, followed by the placement of a stent. The video demonstrates the successful drainage of the left ducts, relieving the patient's jaundice. However, attempts to insert a second stent are unsuccessful. The patient's condition improves after the procedure. No credits were mentioned in the transcript.
