Prospective Registry Of Therapeutic EndoscopiC ulTrasound
Prospective Registry Of Therapeutic EndoscopiC ulTrasound
This registry aims to analyze long-term outcomes of therapeutic EUS (T-EUS) procedures, as
 well as to describe clinical and technical variables potentially predicting clinical success
 or adverse events, for a better selection of ideal candidates.
This is an observational, prospective, single centre study. This registry aims to evaluate
 long-term clinical success of EUS-guided therapeutic interventions (T-EUS), as well as
 adverse events, and clinical and technical variables asociated with clinical success and
 adverse events.

 For the purpose of this registry, the following procedures will be considered to be T-EUS
 procedures:

 -  EUS-guided collection drainage

 -  EUS-guided biliary drainage

 -  EUS-guided gallbladder drainage

 -  EUS-guided gastro-enterostomy

 -  EUS-directed ERCP

 -  EUS-guided pancreatic duct drainage

 Each patient will be assigned to a procedure following standard clinical practice, in most
 instances following a routinely multidisciplinary discussion.

 All patients eligible for the abovementioned clinical indications, but finally undergoing
 alternative procedures (e.g. surgical interventions, percutaneous interventions or other
 endoscopic procedures) will be proposed to be enrolled in the registry as "controls". The
 same variables will be collected, with the exception of technical variables related to the
 EUS-guided intervention.
Inclusion Criteria:

 -  subjects candidate to therapeutic EUS (T-EUS) procedures for any underlying disease

 -  18 years old or older

 -  able to provide an informed consent to inclusion.

 Exclusion Criteria:

 -  age < 18 years

 -  inability or unwillingness to sign the informed consent form (ICF)

 -  contra-indication for endoscopy or use of fluoroscopy
