Endoscopic ultrasound of the pancreas: tissue acquisition and intervention.
Current Opinion in Gastroenterology 2002 September
Endoscopic ultrasound is an established modality for staging gastrointestinal and pancreatic malignancies. Since the development of the linear array echoendoscope, the field of interventional endoscopy has continued to evolve as an adjunctive method to standard endosonography. The ability to sample extraluminal lesions or lymph nodes has overcome the initial limitations of endoscopic ultrasound and provided a list of attractive endoscopic ultrasound-guided therapeutic applications.This review focuses on recent advancements in the field of interventional endosonography related to the diagnosis and therapy of pancreatic diseases. In particular, the article reviews the role of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration in diagnosing various pancreatic diseases; the role of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle injection in delivering neurolytic, chemotherapeutic, or biologic agents; and emerging procedures like endoscopic ultrasound-assisted biliary bypass in the setting of malignant biliary obstruction.
