Learn EUS FAST: Duodenal Bulb Vessels Made Simple

Welcome to Gastro Vision — your dedicated platform for mastering Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) through clear concepts, real-time orientation, and practical skills. In this video, we simplify one of the most high-yield and clinically essential EUS stations — the Duodenal Bulb Station, with a sharp focus on vascular anatomy and orientation. 🎯 What you will learn: Identification of arterial and venous “Seagull signs” in EUS Detailed understanding of the Common Hepatic Artery (CHA) bifurcation Visualization of the Portal Venous Confluence (SMV + Splenic Vein → Portal Vein) Spatial relationships crucial for EUS-guided procedures and interpretation 🧠 Key Concepts Covered 🔹 The Common Hepatic Artery bifurcation lies close to the duodenal wall → Divides into: Hepatic Artery Proper (superior) Gastroduodenal Artery (inferior) 🔹 The Portal Venous Confluence: → Formed by Splenic Vein + Superior Mesenteric Vein (SMV) → Located inferior and slightly medial to CHA bifurcation 🔹 Important Orientation Rule: 👉 CHA bifurcation is anterior to the portal vein 🔄 EUS ORIENTATION & SCOPE MANEUVERS ✔️ Structures above the transducer → Left side of screen ✔️ Structures below the transducer → Right side of screen 🔁 Clockwise rotation → Visualizes inferior structures → Example: Portal venous confluence, distal CBD, pancreatic head 🔁 Anticlockwise rotation → Visualizes superior structures → Example: CHA bifurcation, hepatic duct, cystic duct 🎯 Fine adjustments: To see Portal Confluence → Clockwise + Big wheel towards you To see CHA bifurcation → Anticlockwise + Big wheel away from you ⚡ Why This Matters Understanding vascular orientation at the duodenal bulb is critical for: Accurate EUS interpretation Safe EUS-guided interventions (FNA, drainage) Avoiding vascular complications Building strong 3D anatomical mapping skills 📚 Recommended Learning Path 👉 Watch the Duodenal Bulb Orientation Video (linked below) to fully understand:    • EUS Duodenal Bulb: A Step-By-Step Guide   Scope mechanics Clockwise vs anticlockwise rotation Image orientation logic L 🚀 Who Is This Video For?
