Video Tip: Endoscopic Management of Fibrotic Esophageal Strictures | March 2023-Endoscopic Management of Fibrotic Esophageal Strictures

Video Transcription

This ASG video tip is brought to you by an educational grant from Braintree, a part of Cibela Pharmaceuticals, makers of SUTAB.  This was a case series that was published, so again you're looking at a ridge here and the endoscopist is using either a needle knife, or in this instance, either an IT nano knife,  which is really an ESD knife, to cut through the fibrotic ledge and then open up the lumen once you have dilated, you make multiple cuts, four to six cuts, and then you can actually  dilate with a balloon and reestablish the lumen. So this has been shown to be very effective in these refractory strictures with this morphology of a fibrotic ledge.  Thanks for watching. I'll see you next time.

Video Summary

In this video tip sponsored by Braintree (a part of Cibela Pharmaceuticals, makers of SUTAB), an endoscopist uses a needle knife or an IT nano knife to cut through a fibrotic ledge and open up the lumen. The endoscopist makes multiple cuts, around four to six, and then dilates with a balloon to restore the lumen. This technique has proven to be effective for refractory strictures with a fibrotic ledge morphology. The video concludes with a thank you for watching and a promise to return with more tips in the future.
