Abstract
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has become the therapeutic intervention of choice for multiple diseases and continues to evolve rapidly. Its increasing use has allowed the development and adaptation of multiple, revolutionary devices and tools. Currently, there is paucity of randomized clinical trials evaluating multiple EUS-guided interventions and the vast majority of published data is heterogenous. However, the available literature on EUS-guided therapeutic interventions continues to expand and demonstrate its safety, efficacy and cost effectiveness in carefully selected patients when performed by expert endosonographers.
