Step 1: Identification of the fistula. The suture line of the prior sleeve gastrectomy is identified and followed proximally, to a focal area of nodularity with inflammatory pseudopolyps in the anastomotic scar. Moving proximally towards the GE junction, the gastric opening of the fistula is clearly identified in the greater curvature of the stom [...]

This video demonstrates the ESD technique used to remove a type 0-IIa+IIc 15 mm early gastric cancer of the fundus in a 79 year-old male patient. The procedure took place in the operating theatre, under deep sedation, with back-up surgical team available. Preoperative endoscopy included contrast chromoscopy with 0.2% indigo carmine dye together w [...]

Staging of gastric cancer. A 73 year old man underwent EGD for gastroesophageal reflux disease. It revealed a 3 cm antral mass; biopsies were positive for cancer. He was referred to our center for tumor staging. It consisted of a CT scan to rule out metastasis and an EUS for locoregional staging. Let us look at the CT scan first. As you can see her [...]

Gastric Diverticulum

Antonio Mendoza Ladd, MD, Lenox Hill Hospital
David H. Robbins, MD, Lenox Hill Hospital

A 35 Year old Caucasian female was referred for evaluation of heartburn refractory to PPI. At upper endoscopy a 1X2 cm gastric diverticulum was incidentally found in the fundus of the stomach. Closer examination of this diverticulum revealed no mass or perforation of its walls. It was covered with normal appearing mucosa and did not show any evid [...]

Gastroduodenal Intussusception Caused by a Gastric Hyperplastic Polypoid Mass

Rana Khan, MD, New York Methodist Hospital, Brooklyn, New York
Won Sohn, MD, New York Methodist Hospital, Brooklyn, New York

CASE PRESENTATION: We present a case of 31years old female who was evaluated for intermittent episodes of nausea, non-bilious vomiting & upper abdominal discomfort for more than one year. Her past medical history was significant for resolved Parotid and Thyroid cancers. Remaining history and review of the systems were unremarkable. Her physical ex [...]

Gastric endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) with a new traction method: the Clip-band technique

Adolfo Parra-Bianco, MD, PhD,

ESD is a technique for the resection of early gastrointestinal neoplasia, whose main advantage is that lesion without almost any size limit can be resected. However, it is technically challenging and associated with a significant risk of perforation. Submucosal dissection, after having completed the circumferential incision, is the most difficult s [...]

From bypass to thruway: Endoscopic creation of a gastro-gastric conduit for reversal of gastric bypass

Mihir S. Wagh, MD, University of Florida

Introduction A 44 year old female with a past history of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass underwent an emergent antrectomy for a perforated peptic ulcer. This resulted in a completely excluded remnant stomach which required a permanent surgical gastrostomy tube for drainage of secretions. This figure shows the anatomy after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. The [...]

Endoscopic management of an infected pseudocyst with cystgastrostomy and necrosectomy without EUS guidance

Vinay Chandrasekhara, M.D.,

The treatment of pancreatic pseudocysts has historically been managed by surgeons; however, endoscopic drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts by expert endoscopists has become an accepted alternative to surgery when an intervention is indicated. Its advantage over percutaneous drainage is the ability to place multiple internal drains with minimal patie [...]
