Abstract
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is increasingly used in the evaluation of hepatobiliary lesions and for obtaining liver biopsies. EUS-guided tissue acquisition is safe and effective, with high diagnostic yield and low major complication rate. This article reviews the techniques and clinical outcomes of EUS-guided tissue acquisition of hepatobiliary masses as well as EUS-guided liver biopsy.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of each issue of Techniques in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy is to provide a comprehensive, current overview of a clinical condition or surgical procedure in gastrointestinal endoscopy, combining the effectiveness of an atlas with the timeliness of a journal. Each issue places a vigorous emphasis on diagnosis, rationale for and against a procedure, actual technique, management, and prevention of complications. The journal features abundant illustrations, line drawings and color artwork to guide readers through even the most complicated procedure.
