Post written by Miguel Martins, MD, Joana Mota, MD, and Filipe Vilas-Boas, MD, PhD, from the Gastroenterology Department, Centro Hospitalar Universitário São João, and Faculty of Medicine of University of Porto, Porto, Portugal. A 59-year-old woman receiving chemotherapy for adenocarcinoma of the third duodenal portion developed gastric outlet obstruction from disease progression and underwent EUS-guided gastroenterostomy (EUS-GE). During EUS-GE, an unrecognized transverse …

Endoscopic ultrasound—assisted rendezvous technique followed by dual-duct drainage using a double-lumen papillotome: a salvage strategy for postendoscopic papillectomy stricture
Post written by Go Endo, MD, and Naminatsu Takahara, MD, PhD, from the Department of Gastroenterology in Organ Pathophysiology Program, Graduate School of Medicine, The University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan. A 70-year-old woman developed acute cholangitis and pancreatitis 3 months after hybrid endoscopic papillectomy (EP) of a 25-mm ampullary adenoma. The papillary orifice was completely obstructed by a fibrotic post-EP …
Multiple traction band—assisted endoscopic submucosal dissection of a giant colorectal lipoma after unsuccessful unroofing
Post written by Hiroshi Yamazaki, MD, and Ken Ohata, MD, PhD, from the Department of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, NTT Medical Center Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan. This video demonstrates endoscopic en bloc resection of a large colorectal lipoma by endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), facilitated by multiple traction bands. Unroofing was initially attempted on a 70-mm lipoma, but due to its size and the …
Saline-immersion technique for endoscopic submucosal dissection with traction for an ileocecal adenoma involving the ileal outlet
Post written by Georgios Mavrogenis, MD, from the Third Space Endoscopy Unit, Department of Gastroenterology, Mediterraneo Hospital, Athens, Greece. This video demonstrates endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) of a 4-cm nongranular adenoma involving the ileocecal valve with extension into the terminal ileum—one of the most technically demanding locations for colorectal ESD. The procedure combined saline-immersion ESD with dynamic …
Therapeutic endoscopic ultrasound with a novel adaptable endoscopic ultrasound probe and vision system
Post written by Carlos Robles-Medranda, MD, FASGE, AGAF, from the Instituto Ecuatoriano de Enfermedades Digestivas and Endoscopy Net, Guayaquil, Ecuador. This video presents our early clinical experience with the EndoSound Vision System (Portland, Ore, USA), a compact, portable, disposable EUS probe that clips onto a flexible upper GI endoscope while preserving the working channel. We demonstrate device …
Continuous carbon dioxide flow via a modified 4-way stopcock to prevent hemostatic spray catheter clogging
Post written by Mina Alkomos, MD, DABOM, from the Gastroenterology Department, Mount Sinai South Nassau, Oceanside, New York, and Walid Baddoura, MD, from the Gastroenterology Department, St Joseph’s University Medical Center, Paterson, New Jersey, USA. This video demonstrates a simple modification to the delivery system used during application of hemostatic powder to reduce catheter clogging. Catheter occlusion remains …
Multitraction point strategy for endoscopic submucosal dissection in managing difficult colorectal lesions
Post written by Abdulrahman Qatomah, MBBS, from Gastroenterology, Endoscopy and Hepatology, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts, USA. We present a multitraction point (MTP) technique designed to facilitate endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for difficult-to-access colorectal lesions. This approach is particularly useful for large lesions with suboptimal submucosal exposure, where perpendicular rather than tangential dissection …
Robotic-assisted traction and closure during colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection
Post written by Carlos E. Bertran-Rodriguez, MD, and Dennis Yang, MD, from the Center for Interventional Endoscopy, AdventHealth Orlando, Orlando, Florida, USA. Our video demonstrates use of a novel robotic—assisted traction device (TraCloser; EndoRobotics, Seoul, South Korea) during colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) of a rectal 60-mm laterally spreading granular tumor. The robotic gripper arm allowed real-time adjustments for dynamic …
Modified gastric peroral endoscopic myotomy for helical stenosis after sleeve gastrectomy
Post written by Michael Lajin, MD, from Sharp HealthCare, San Diego, California, USA. We present a case series of 3 patients with helical stenosis after surgical sleeve gastrectomy treated with modified gastric peroral endoscopic myotomy (G-POEM) as the initial approach. All patients in this series underwent under-saline tunneling, which facilitated navigation through a swirling, challenging submucosal (SM) …
Postlobectomy bronchoesophageal fistula treated with endoscopic helical tacking system and anchor-pronged clip
Post written by Margherita Costanza Maregatti, MD, and Giuseppe De Roberto, MD, from the Division of Endoscopy, European Institute of Oncology, IRCCS, Milan, Italy. This video presents endoscopic management of a postsurgical bronchoesophageal fistula that developed 6 weeks after right upper lobectomy for a lung adenocarcinoma in a 50-year-old woman. The fistula measured approximately 7 mm on the esophageal side …
