📢 📰 Excited to share our latest clinical practice update in @GIE_Journal :
📚 “Role of Remimazolam in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy: American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinical Practice Update.”
As part of the ASGE Standards of Practice Committee, I had the privilege of contributing to this document, which synthesizes the emerging evidence on remimazolam for procedural sedation in gastrointestinal endoscopy.
💡 Remimazolam represents an exciting advancement in endoscopic sedation, offering:
🔹 Rapid onset of action
🔹 Short duration of action
🔹 Organ-independent metabolism
🔹 A promising safety and efficacy profile
Certainly not the holy grail of sedation, but offers an option for practicing GI docs. This clinical practice update reviews the evidence on efficacy, safety, dosing, and patient selection, with particular emphasis on optimizing sedation in higher-risk populations🎯
🙏 Grateful to Nirav Thosani, MD, MHA Jason Dominitz, MD, MHS, MASGE, AGAF, FACG,
the ASGE Standards of Practice Committee, and all my co-authors for their collaboration and commitment to advancing gastrointestinal endoscopy.

Portal hypertension is hard to teach with static diagrams.
I’m building a simulator to explore how portal pressures and collateral flow change with disease and treatment. Work in progress. What scenario should it include? @LiverFellow @ebtapper #MedEd

The gut is much more than a digestive organ. It is a metabolic sensing and signaling system that helps shape how we respond to food, regulate appetite, and control metabolism.
Really enjoyed going deep on this with Andrew Huberman, from gut biology and the microbiome to obesity, GLP-1 therapies, and endoscopic treatments.

📚 Two new publications, one shared goal: improving patient care after colorectal ESD!
I'm excited to share 2 major studies showing that for benign lesions, surveillance can be safely extended 3 to 5 years!
📝 Study 1: Our international multicenter study demonstrates that extending surveillance colonoscopy to 3 years after curative ESD for non-malignant colorectal lesions is safe in appropriately selected patients *** Published in GUT - pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/4242…
📊 Study 2: Our systematic review and meta-analysis confirms the excellent long-term outcomes after colorectal ESD, demonstrating low local recurrence rates following curative resection *** Published in Endoscopy - pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/4211…
💡 Together, these studies support a more evidence-based, patient-centered approach to surveillance while helping reduce unnecessary procedures, 💵 and healthcare utilization.

Thank you @videogie for allowing us to highlight our technique and why do we think it’s helpful in managing large colorectal lesion, one that we also use for gastric lesions as well!

New publication in @videogie
“Multitraction point (MTP) ESD strategy to manage difficult colorectal lesions”
We’re able to show how to utilize multiple traction to facilitate resection of large colorectal lesions in a case series, take home messages:
✅ Lesion assessment and scope access
🎯 Choosing the correct sites for traction (including clip placement in the contra-lateral wall) is 🔑, to allow for maximum submucosal exposure, speedy yet safer dissection.
📌 Traction point removal using scissors to release one point and grasping to release second poiand extract the lesion.
We found taht MTP found safe to use in the these cases, but more studies are needed!
Proud to have performed all these cases solo under @ThirdspaceEndo supervision!
