Abstract
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)–guided access to the biliary tree and pancreatic duct with concomitant therapeutic drainage of the ducts via the EUS scope is an evolving technology but being increasingly used by endosonographers. This article will explain the indications and techniques of how the procedure is performed in both the bile and pancreatic duct with a description of the equipment used. Finally, the technical and clinical success of EUS-guided ductal therapy and complications will be reviewed.
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.
