@NEndoscopy @stevenbollipo @SahajRathi @Srisha_Hebbar @drkeithsiau @helpatologist @docdhir @Nareshbhat14 @Taalamri I use the nasal exchange tube, however don’t use magills forceps to grab, instead do it under vision with a snare through the gastroscope, much quicker and less fiddly. No gagging for the patients as you can see how far to push the exchange tube, just enough to grab it. Nifty!

[Rajit Gilhotra @rajitgilhotra]

@helpatologist @NEndoscopy @DouglasAdlerMD @asge @gie Agree

[Rajit Gilhotra @rajitgilhotra]

@DouglasAdlerMD @SIRspecialists @DouglasAdlerMD looks very satisfying! Pls also share the Endosonographic images if able.

[Rajit Gilhotra @rajitgilhotra]

@SahajRathi @DrSalihTokmak Great case and a very relevant discussion. Question about simultaneous deployment. I don’t think you can put two wallflex stents in the duodenoscope channel at one time, are you using Zilvers in that case?

[Rajit Gilhotra @rajitgilhotra]

@DouglasAdlerMD @NEndoscopy @SChandanMD Nice case, what settings did you use on the APC?

[Rajit Gilhotra @rajitgilhotra]

@DouglasAdlerMD @DavidDiehlMD @SChandanMD @JennPhanMD @BilalMohammadMD @DrMohdZein @EndoscopyOthman Was this over the wire biopsy forceps?
I definitely do for distal cbd stricture (off the wire though) with good results.

[Rajit Gilhotra @rajitgilhotra]

@DrSalihTokmak Impressive! What stent did you use for the HGS?

[Rajit Gilhotra @rajitgilhotra]

@docdhir Calcified GIST?

@AusDrGupta @HeatherKosickGI @LizzieAbyMD Down under’s got the two core yrs that provide a good foundation (even better if it’s in QLD where you do those over 2 diff centres). The non-core/fellow yrs are very variable - and I think that’s good as u can tailor them to ur needs.

[Rajit Gilhotra @rajitgilhotra]

@FrontGastro_BMJ @AusDrGupta @tberzin @GI_Pearls Has anyone had experience with the low volume PEG based prep - Plenvu? I personally have not but there is growing evidence on better tolerability and prep quality as well!

[Rajit Gilhotra @rajitgilhotra]

Handy illustration for what could be a stressful time when using one of these. I haven’t had to put one down before, but have certainly deflated and removed a few now. What’s your experience @AusDrGupta ?

[Ahmad Bazarbashi MD أحمد بازارباشي @AhmadBazarbashi]

Cant remember the types of balloon tamponade devices for variceal bleeding?

Heres a quick illustration I made including number of ports and volume/pressure of balloons for each device.

Always familiarize yourself with the type of balloon tamponade available to you.

@AusDrGupta Thoughts on the @AmerGastroAssn clinical guidelines on Mx of gastric varices…Do you think we utilise our available IR experts enough? #GITwitter #LiverTwitter

In those that do ESD how do you find the success of purastat? @GI_Guy, @MendozaLadd, @DrBloodandGuts,@DrVikG, @thomas_rosch,@UofT_GI_Head,@GI_Pearls. #GITwitter

[Rajit Gilhotra @rajitgilhotra]

@AusDrGupta @acv69cardenas If bleeding from PBU haemospray > Purastat. It’s quicker onset. Also with Purastat - given it’s a gel and takes some time set there’s a chance it’ll migrate if the area that it’s applied to is not a dependant area(3 o’clock when patient on their left lateral)

[Rajit Gilhotra @rajitgilhotra]

@AusDrGupta Twitter handle and conference name should suffice in my opinion
