LAMS have the right shape for select strictures (pyloric, etc). Backload a LAMS stent for easier deployment across an enteral stricture Line it up, fold it, pull into channel Locate stricture and use “push” to deploy. #GITwitter #Endoscopy #MedEd #SoMe4Surgery #medicine

Classics in endoscopy series; EUS is the best modality for high res view of wall of abdominal viscera. Know wall layers on EUS as they determine differential diagnosis. Layer 2 & 4 are muscle: So leimyoma, GIST etc #oncology #cancer #gitwitter #gi #surgery #Meded #radiology
