Video Tip: Three Little LAMS in One Patient

Video Transcription

Video Summary

A case study titled "Three Little Lambs in One Patient" features a 79-year-old man with various health issues, including pancreatic head adenocarcinoma. Initially presenting with abdominal pain, imaging revealed gallbladder issues and biliary duct dilation. Surgical options were limited, leading to an innovative procedure involving LAMs for drainage. Subsequent complications required further interventions, including a pancreatic gastrostomy. Despite challenges, the patient experienced pain relief and symptom improvement. Multiple procedures were performed, culminating in a gastrojejunostomy to address gastric outlet obstruction. The patient eventually passed away peacefully under palliative care. This case highlights the efficacy of LAMs in managing complex biliary and pancreatic obstructions for palliative care.
