Objectives

bull Understand and identify the role of Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) in diagnosis of pancreatobiliarydisorders ndash Where is EUS helpfulndash EUS pancreatobiliary anatomyndash Types of EUS scopes

bull Understand where EUS is used for therapy in pancreatobiliary disordersndash EUS‐directed therapyndash EUS complementing ERCPndash As an alternative to surgery and IR

Intro to EUS ndash Anatomy

bull What can we see and accessndash Entire pancreas

ndash Entire extrahepatic bile duct and bifurcation

EUS ndash Scope types

bull Radial ndash more intuitive better for lumpsbumps and for esophagusrectum but cannot FNA

bull Linear ndash better for pancreatobiliary tree can perform FNA and injectionwire passage

bull Probe ndash through a therapeutic scope can access small spaces and evaluate biliary or pancreatic duct but limited depth of penetration and cannot FNA

EUS ndash Scope types

bull Radial ndash more intuitive better for lumpsbumps and for esophagusrectum but cannot FNA

bull Linear ndash better for pancreatobiliary tree can perform FNA and injectionwire passage

bull Probe ndash through a therapeutic scope can access small spaces and evaluate biliary or pancreatic duct but limited depth of penetration and cannot FNA
