lumenal stents to be demonstrated


Juergen Hochberger, MD, PhD
New technology and techniques, and one-on-one guidance will provide gastroenterologists the unique opportunity to gather the most up-to-date “tricks of the trade” in two ASGE Hands-On Workshops, GI Emergencies: Sutures, Closures and Hemostasis and Lumenal Stents.

Standard and novel hemostasis techniques and defect-closure devices will be explained and demonstrated during GI Emergencies, led by Juergen H. Hochberger, MD, PhD, professor of medicine at St. Bernward Academic Teaching Hospital, Hildesheim, Germany. Demonstrations and proper application of the devices will give participants experience and an understanding of the perspectives and limitations of the current systems, he said.
