Endoscopic ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation of a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor.
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA), a method of achieving tumor necrosis by cell protein denaturation that is induced by heating tissues to above 45°C, is applied in the treatment of several malignancies. Energy is provided by an RFA current generator, which is connected to an active electrode needle that is placed into the tumor under image guidance. The lesions created have variable diameters, dep...

neuroendocrine tumor (NET) which may lead to symptomatic fasting hypoglycemia. These often small lesions are primarily located in the pancreas. Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) has been found to be the optimal diagnostic modality for NET identification. Surgical resection of the tumor is the mainstay of therapy for an insulinoma. However, for a small subset of patients, particularly those who a...
متن کاملEndoscopic ultrasound-guided therapy of a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST).
A 90-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of recurrent upper gastrointestinal bleeding due to a 5-cm gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) in the lesser curve of the stomach (●" Fig.1). After conventional endoscopic sclerotherapy failed to achieve a response, and because of the patient’s condition, it was decided to perform endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided therapy. The lesion was...
متن کاملEndoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Therapeutic Thoracentesis
Diagnostic or therapeutic thoracentesis in patients with mechanical ventilation is typically performed with ultrasound guidance using a posterolateral approach. Recently, the use of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) for detection and aspiration of pleural effusions and the feasibility of bedside EUS in critically ill patients has been described. We present a case of EUSguided therapeutic thoracentesi...
