Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and EUS-guided fine needle aspiration have become important tools in evaluation of patients who have various gastrointestinal and nongastrointestinal disorders, and are being increasingly utilized at many centers. With over 10 years of worldwide published clinical data, the collective experience suggests that EUS is a safe tool. There are various measures that may be undertaken to help minimize the risks. In light of ongoing advances in interventional techniques and recognition of new procedural indications, the safety of all types of procedures and efforts to minimize EUS-related complications need to be periodically reexamined.
内镜超声(EUS)及EUS引导下细针穿刺已成为评估患有各种胃肠道及非胃肠道疾病患者的重要工具,并且在许多中心正得到越来越广泛的应用。基于全球超过10年发表的临床数据,总体经验表明EUS是一种安全的工具。可以采取多种措施来帮助将风险降至最低。鉴于介入技术的不断进步以及对新操作适应症的认识,需要定期重新审视所有类型操作的安全性以及将EUS相关并发症降至最低的努力。
