Core Tip
Core Tip: Therapeutic endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has rapidly expanded into the field of vascular interventions. Published literature has shown that EUS-guided endovascular therapy is safe and scores over conventional endoscopic techniques achieving high obliteration rates with minimum re-intervention in variceal bleeding. EUS currently acts as a “rescue therapy” in cases of re-bleed or refractory bleeding from non-variceal sources, especially a pseudoaneurysm. In addition, portal vein access, portal pressure gradient measurement, and variceal assessment with liver biopsy have shown that EUS can act as a "one-stop-shop" for “Endo-hepatology”. This ever-expanding role of EUS-related vascular interventions has been thoroughly detailed in this comprehensive review.
