A 63-year-old woman was admitted with abdominal pain and mild jaundice. She was diagnosed as choledocholithiasis and hypersplenism and underwent choledocolithotomy and splenectomy. 9th day post operation, massive fresh blood suddenly flew out from T tube and she underwent emergency abdominal exploration but there were no obvious bleeding sites in the abdominal cavity and no bleeding sites in the biliary tree by choledochoscope. 7th day after the second operation, fresh blood suddenly flew out from T tube again and angiography showed two small peudoaneurysms at the second branch of right hepatic artery which might result in hemobilia. The hemobilia was treated successfully with coil embolisation of peudoaneurysms and she recovers fully.展开更多

EUS provides access to many organs and lesions which are in proximity to the gastrointestinal tract and thus giving an opportunity to target them for therapeutic and diagnostic purposes. This modality also provides a real time opportunityto target the required area while avoiding adjacent vascular and other structures. Therapeutic EUS has found role in management of pancreatic fluid collections, biliary and pancreatic duct drainage in cases of failed endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, drainage of gallbladder, celiac plexus neurolysis/blockage, drainage of mediastinal and intra-abdominal abscesses and collections and in targeted cancer chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Infact, therapeutic EUS has emerged as the therapy of choice for management of pancreatic pseudocysts and recent innovations like fully covered removable metallic stents have improved results in patients with organised necrosis. Similarly, EUS guided drainage of biliary tract and pancreatic duct helps drainage of these systems in patients with failed cannulation, inaccessible papilla as with duodenal/gastric obstruction or surgically altered anatomy. EUS guided gall bladder drainage is a useful emergent procedure in patients with acute cholecystitis who are not fit for surgery. EUS guided celiac plexus neurolysis and blockage is more effective and less morbid vis-à-vis the percutaneous technique. The field of interventional EUS is rapidly advancing and many more interventions are being continuously added. This review focuses on the current status of evidence vis-à-vis the established indications of therapeutic EUS.展开更多
