ENDOHEPATOLOGY- PRESENT AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Endohepatology, particularly involving endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), enhances liver disease diagnosis and treatment. It offers comprehensive procedures within a single session. EUS-guided liver biopsies provide superior safety and yield compared to traditional methods. Direct measurement of portosystemic pressure gradients improves accuracy over earlier proxy methods. EUS-guided coil-based injection therapies excel in massive hemorrhage scenarios, offering better hemostasis and safety than traditional techniques. Emerging EUS techniques like liver indentation and shear wave elastography show promise in assessing fibrosis and cirrhosis. Future developments, such as therapeutic procedures including TIPS, continue to expand this innovative field.
