Message from the ASGE 

President 

Dear Colleague: 

Welcome to Orlando and the 44th Annual Digestive Disease Week ® ! The ASGE Governing 

Board and the Annual Scientific Program Committee are proud to present a robust 

educational program that is certain to exceed expectations. 

To meet the needs of GI endoscopists in a variety of practice settings, ASGE has planned a 

comprehensive program for DDW ® 2013 that includes a wide range of learning opportunities 

developed specifically with the endoscopist in mind. Throughout DDW, ASGE will cover every 

endoscopic topic in various formats, allowing you to design an experience tailored to your needs. 

Use this Guide as a quick-reference handbook to all the excellent ASGE educational 

opportunities at DDW. Below I’ve outlined just a few sessions I think every endoscopist 

would find valuable: 

Hands-on workshops: EMR/ESD, Advanced Therapeutic Colonoscopy, Luminal Stenting 

and Ablation, ERCP and more. These workshops fill up quickly, so be sure to register early. 

(see page 5) 

ASGE/AGA Joint Presidential Plenary (Saturday): For the first time, ASGE and AGA will host a 

combined plenary session featuring the “top ten” abstracts from DDW, as well as seven stateof-the-art 

lectures from world-renowned experts. If you are looking for the best updates on 

recent advances in science and research, the Plenary session is a must-attend. (see page 14) 

ASGE Annual Postgraduate Course, “An International and Multidisciplinary Approach to 

Gastrointestinal Diseases in 2013: Patient Care at its Best” (Monday): This course provides a 

complete update on the latest endoscopic research and practice, and is complemented by 

real-world advice from experts and smaller-group breakout sessions. (see pages 38 and 39) 

ASGE World Cup of Endoscopy (Tuesday): This session is as fun as it is educational. Watch 

presenters from around the world show outstanding videos in a unique video competition. 

(see page 35) 

In addition to the events listed above, I hope you will join us on Sunday evening at SeaWorld 

for the prestigious ASGE Crystal Awards, which recognizes and honors the contributions 

of the finest in the field of GI endoscopy (see page 6). SeaWorld promises an enchanting 

evening, showcasing the earth’s expansive oceans and the life forms teeming within them. 

Don’t miss it! 

Enjoy your time in Orlando and thank you for supporting ASGE and DDW. 

Sincerely, 

Thomas M. Deas Jr, MD, MMM, FASGE 

2012-2013 ASGE President 

If endoscopy is your practice, then ASGE is your partner!

If you’re managing esophageal disease, your histopathology diagnosis is only as good as where 

you biopsy. That’s the reason for the NvisionVLE Imaging System. Using Advanced OCT (Optical 

Coherence Tomography) allows you to image more completely. Not just the surface, but the 

full cross-section of the mucosa, submucosa, and beyond. 3mm deep at 7 micron resolution. 

6cm long at one time. All in real-time. So you can do more than just look. You can see. 

See for yourself at DDW booth #1434.

The NvisionVLE Imaging System is indicated for use as an imaging tool in the evaluation of human tissue microstructure, 

including esophageal tissue microstructure, by providing two-dimensional, cross-sectional, real-time depth visualization.

ASGE Institute 

for Training and 

Technology (IT&T) 

A state-of-the-art, integrated 

hands-on and didactic 

medical training facility 

Advanced Technology, a Global Classroom 

Within the IT&T, advanced audiovisual and information technologies allow real-time collaboration and idea 

exchange. Live, two-way broadcasting capability via Internet 2 or satellite can create a virtual worldwide learning 

environment. Real-time recording and rapid duplication capabilities provide take-home tools that reinforce 

participants’ learning experience. 

Bioskills lab 

At the heart of the IT&T is an advanced 2,800-square-foot bioskills 

laboratory featuring 16 fully equipped endoscopic stations. The 

bioskills lab has broadcast capability to other areas of the facility 

and throughout the world. The stations in the lab are modular and 

highly configurable for maximum flexibility and usage by a variety 

of medical specialties. The bioskills lab features an observation 

area, a private research room, high-speed reprocessors and locker 

rooms with shower facilities. 

Auditorium 

The tiered auditorium seats more than 100 and is equipped with a state-of-the-art audience response system 

to maximize interactivity and real-time benchmarking among peers. In addition, advanced technology allows for 

connectivity to the bioskills lab, the conference center and throughout the world. 

Meeting Rooms 

Multifunctional in design, the IT&T’s conference center can be configured 

as classrooms, banquet areas, or meeting rooms. The conference 

center offers a large divisible room, perfect for simultaneous 

didactic sessions, break-out discussions, all-attendee sessions 

or even for serving lunch. In addition, the boardroom 

provides a more private setting for smaller meetings. 

The 3,700-square-foot outdoor terrace overlooking 

a lake that includes a fire feature, landscaped 

setting, and a sound system offers yet 

another ideal setting for breakout 

sessions, receptions and 

informal gatherings.

BRIEF SUMMARY: Before prescribing, please see full Prescribing Information and Medication Guide for SUPREP ® Bowel Prep Kit (sodium sulfate, potassium 

sulfate and magnesium sulfate) Oral Solution. INDICATIONS AND USAGE: An osmotic laxative indicated for cleansing of the colon as a preparation for 

colonoscopy in adults. CONTRAINDICATIONS: Use is contraindicated in the following conditions: gastrointestinal (GI) obstruction, bowel perforation, toxic 

colitis and toxic megacolon, gastric retention, ileus, known allergies to components of the kit. WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS: SUPREP Bowel Prep Kit 

is an osmotic laxative indicated for cleansing of the colon as a preparation for colonoscopy in adults. Use is contraindicated in the following conditions: 

gastrointestinal (GI) obstruction, bowel perforation, toxic colitis and toxic megacolon, gastric retention, ileus, known allergies to components of the kit. Use 

caution when prescribing for patients with a history of seizures, arrhythmias, impaired gag reflex, regurgitation or aspiration, severe active ulcerative colitis, 

impaired renal function or patients taking medications that may affect renal function or electrolytes. Pre-dose and post-colonoscopy ECG’s should be considered 

in patients at increased risk of serious cardiac arrhythmias. Use can cause temporary elevations in uric acid. Uric acid fluctuations in patients with gout may 

precipitate an acute flare. Administration of osmotic laxative products may produce mucosal aphthous ulcerations, and there have been reports of more serious 

cases of ischemic colitis requiring hospitalization. Patients with impaired water handling who experience severe vomiting should be closely monitored including 

measurement of electrolytes. Advise all patients to hydrate adequately before, during, and after use. Each bottle must be diluted with water to a final volume of 

16 ounces and ingestion of additional water as recommended is important to patient tolerance. Pregnancy: Pregnancy Category C. Animal reproduction studies 

have not been conducted. It is not known whether this product can cause fetal harm or can affect reproductive capacity. Pediatric Use: Safety and 

effectiveness in pediatric patients has not been established. Geriatric Use: Of the 375 patients who took SUPREP Bowel Prep Kit in clinical trials, 94 (25%) 

were 65 years of age or older, while 25 (7%) were 75 years of age or older. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness of SUPREP Bowel Prep Kit 

administered as a split-dose (2-day) regimen were observed between geriatric patients and younger patients. DRUG INTERACTIONS: Oral medication 

administered within one hour of the start of administration of SUPREP may not be absorbed completely. ADVERSE REACTIONS: Most common adverse 

reactions (>2%) are overall discomfort, abdominal distention, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and headache. Oral Administration: Split-Dose (Two-Day) 

Regimen: Early in the evening prior to the colonoscopy: Pour the contents of one bottle of SUPREP Bowel Prep Kit into the mixing container provided. 

Fill the container with water to the 16 ounce fill line, and drink the entire amount. Drink two additional containers filled to the 16 ounce line with water over the 

next hour. Consume only a light breakfast or have only clear liquids on the day before colonoscopy. Day of Colonoscopy (10 to 12 hours after the 

evening dose): Pour the contents of the second SUPREP Bowel Prep Kit into the mixing container provided. Fill the container with water to the 16 ounce fill 

line, and drink the entire amount. Drink two additional containers filled to the 16 ounce line with water over the next hour. Complete all SUPREP Bowel Prep Kit 

and required water at least one hour prior to colonoscopy. Consume only clear liquids until after the colonoscopy. STORAGE: Store at 20°-25°C (68°-77°F). 

Excursions permitted between 15°-30°C (59°-86°F). Rx only. Distributed by Braintree Laboratories, Inc. Braintree, MA 02185
