9th Annual Expert Strategies in Endoscopy, GI and Liver
2018-03-10 07:00 - 17:15 UTC | InterContinental Kansas City At The Plaza, 401 Ward Parkway, Kansas City, MO, 64112, United States
The program’s goal is to improve participants’ competence and practice performance by providing cutting edge information on endoscopy, gastroenterology and liver diseases through state of the art lectures and hands on endoscopy sessions taught by an international faculty of experts in the field. The hands on session in the afternoon is by far the most needed educational session based on performance gap analysis. This popular session includes demonstration of the following techniques, with opportunities for participants to practice techniques learned: clipping, stenting, closing perforations, cryotherapy, RFA, hemostasis, cauterization, argon gas, EMR, ESD, ablation, snare techniques, injection needles, use of HD endoscopes, etc. We also plan to have a nurses and GI fellows hands on session for them to gain familiarity with various endoscopic tools and techniques. The morning educational session presentations will educate participants on common and controversial topics in endoscopy, gastrointestinal and liver diseases in preparation for afternoon hands-on sessions. Morning sessions will include interactive audience polling and Q&A sessions where participants can receive expert feedback.

Lumendi is dedicated to improving healthcare through the development and application of medical technology that reduces the number of surgical colon intervention and procedure time in endoscopic procedures, positively impacts recovery rates and outcomes, and decreases costs to the healthcare system. Lumendi’s DiLumen™ EIP device, FDA cleared and commercially available, was developed through collaboration between Lumendi Ltd and the Minimally Invasive Technologies program (MINT) at Weill Cornell Medical Center and New York-Presbyterian Hospital. When used as directed, DiLumen EIP creates an isolated, stabilized Therapeutic Zone™ (TZ) within the intestine that straightens the target area and flattens the folds so clinicians can see and treat isolated segments of the bowel. Additional devices are under development, several of which were submitted in November 2017 for regulatory clearance by the FDA.
