HIGHLIGHTS
- Since its inception in the 1980s, endoscopic ultrasound has increased relevance and usefulness in clinical practice.
- Endoscopic ultrasound has evolved from solely diagnostic imaging to a valuable method for tissue sampling and therapeutic procedures, such as drainage of pancreatic fluid collections and creating gastrointestinal anastomoses under EUS guidance.
- Given the rapid advancements in EUS and new devices, an update to the last Consensus must include recent developments.
- Experts evaluated and discussed the best evidence on EUS-guided procedures and devices for tissue sampling, pancreatic and liver disease management, and biliary drainage.
