Linear Array Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Drainage of a Pancreatic Pseudocyst without Using Fluoroscopy / 대한소화기내시경학회지

ABSTRACT

Endoscopic drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts is the initial treatment of choice for symptomatic pancreatic pseudocysts and nonresolving pseudocysts. Recently, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has been used as a guide for transmural entry and the safer drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts. We report a case of therapeutic linear array EUS-guided pseudocyst drainage without the use of fluoroscopy in a patient with portal hypertension.
