Future Perspectives | |
---|---|
CH-EUS AND TISSUE ACQUISITION | ✓ Guidance for tissue acquisition in difficult cases (e.g., chronic pancreatitis) ✓ Evaluation of its usefulness with FNB |
CH-EUS AND TUMOR ABLATION | ✓ Evaluation of the result of the ablation ✓ Target residual tumor tissue for re-treatment |
CH-EUS AND BILIARY INTERVENTIONS | ✓ Evaluation of gallbladder wall in acute cholecystitis in order to evaluate the presence of morphological predictors (e.g., necrosis) ✓ Better definition of CBD in difficult cases |
CH-EUS AND PANCREATIC FLUID COLLECTIONS | ✓ Better definition of the PFC ✓ Better definition of vascularity and of potential complication in case of EUS-guided drainage |
