Interventional Endoscopic Ultrasound

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) was developed as an adjunctive diagnostic modality to supplement cross-sectional imaging. EUS applications have expanded due to evolution in echoendoscope design, improved image resolution, and the development of fine needle aspiration (FNA) needles. This chapter will review current interventional EUS applications, including FNA, pseudocyst drainage, pancreatic necrosectomy, pancreaticobiliary access, celiac plexus interventions, cyst ablation, tumor injection, and vascular interventions.
