  • Practical guidance on achieving high rates of cannulation during ERCP in clinical practice and optimizing outcomes in ERCP with a focus on reduction in post-ERCP pancreatitis rates.
  • Management of choledocholithiasis, biliary drainage in malignant obstruction and management of pancreatic fluid collections including walled off pancreatic necrosis.
  • Endoscopic examination of patients with Barrett’s esophagus and endoscopic eradication therapies in patients with Barrett’s related neoplasia.

Optimal Viewing Experience on GI Leap
Because all browsers continually roll out new versions and updates, it is not always practical to point to a particular browser as "better" than another. Because browsers are free, you can easily shift from one to another for various purposes. Whatever browser you are using, here are some tips for better streaming and viewing of ASGE videos:

  1. Close other applications and browser tabs. This decreases the load on memory so your computer or other device can focus on streaming.
  2. Use a 5 GHz frequency if your router supports it. The common 2.4 GHz frequency is used by household appliances, so is more crowded. Avoiding it is like getting into the carpool lane on a freeway: smoother sailing.
  3. Use Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi if possible but GI LEAP is built with Wi-Fi in mind. 
  4. Monitor your internet connection. If your ISP has promised you 5MBps and you are getting only 1MBps, it's time for a phone call to your internet provider to sort that out.
