Interventional Endoscopic Ultrasonography: Present and Future
نویسندگان
چکیده
The technical advances in endoscopic ultrasonograpy (EUS) and accessories have enabled performing EUS-guided intervention in the pancreas and biliary tract. Many research centers have been performing or investigating EUS-guided drainage, EUS-guided celiac plexus neurolysis and block, EUS-guided anastomosis that includes choledocho-enterostomy and choledocho-gastrostomy, EUS-guided ablation and injection therapy mainly for pancreatic neoplasm, EUS-guided photodynamic therapy and EUS-guided brachytherapy. Some of these are currently clinical applications and others are under investigations in clinical studies or animal models. Further detailed randomized controlled clinical trials and the development of materials will bring us into a new era of therapeutic EUS.

متن کاملEndoscopic ultrasound-guided gastroenterostomy: Are we ready for prime time?
Interventional endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is currently becoming the less invasive therapeutic approach for the drainage of pancreatic fluid collections, of acute cholecystitis in patients unfit for surgery and for biliary drainage after failed endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. In addition, EUS-guided gastroenterostomy (EUS-GE) has recently emerged as a feasible procedure to ...
متن کاملInterventional endoscopic ultrasound in pancreatic diseases.
During the last 15 years, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has become an important imaging procedure for diagnosis and management of pancreatic diseases. The clinical interest of EUS is now enhanced by interventional procedures. Noteworthy, fine-needle aspiration biopsy is one of the most important contributions of EUS, in particular for the investigation of patients with pancreatic cancer and cysti...
