EFSUMB Guidelines on Interventional Ultrasound (INVUS), Part V

Abstract

The fifth section of the Guidelines on Interventional Ultrasound (INVUS) of the European Federation of Societies for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (EFSUMB) assesses the evidence for all the categories of endoscopic ultrasound-guided treatment reported to date. Celiac plexus neurolysis and block, vascular intervention, drainage of fluid collections, drainage of biliary and pancreatic ducts, and experimental tumor ablation techniques are discussed. For each topic, all current evidence has been extensively analyzed and summarized into major recommendations for reader consultation in clinical practice (long version).

Zusammenfassung

Der fünfte Teil der Leitlinien der European Federation of Societies for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (EFSUMB) zur interventionellen Sonografie bewertet die Evidenz zu allen endosonografisch gestützten Therapieverfahren, über die bisher publiziert worden ist: Neurolyse und Blockade des Plexus coeliacus, vaskuläre Interventionen, Drainage von Flüssigkeitsansammlungen und nekrotischen Kollektionen, biliäre und Pankreasgangdrainagen sowie experimentelle Techniken zur Tumorablation. Für alle diese Verfahren wurde die aktuelle Evidenz gründlich analysiert und in Form von Empfehlungen zusammengefasst, die den Lesern zur Anwendung im klinischen Alltag zur Verfügung stehen (Langversion).
