✦ Synopsis

Gastrointestinal endoscopy plays an important diagnostic and therapeutic role in the management of patients with liver disease. This course will cover a variety of topics, ranging from basic issues pertaining to endoscopy in patients with liver disease, to issues related to the use of advanced endoscopic techniques and new technology in this patient group. Faculty will discuss the identification and management of the sequelae of portal hypertension and the management of biliary strictures related to primary sclerosing cholangitis, bile duct injury and cholangiocarcinoma. The role of endoscopy and endotherapy in the post-transplant patient will be discussed. We will provide an overview of the role of endoscopic ultrasound/doppler and the role of the interventional radiologist in the patient with liver disease. Finally, advanced endoscopic technologies and techniques will be discussed, including choledochoscopy, capsule endoscopy, endoscopic ultrasound and gastric variceal injection.

• Discuss the role of endoscopy and endotherapy in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis, cholangiocarcinoma and the post-liver transplant patient
