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.
The study also includes standard alternatives to T-EUS procedures for outcomes comparison.
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:
Each patient will be assigned to a procedure following standard clinical practice, in most instances following a routinely multidisciplinary discussion.
Patients eligible for the abovementioned clinical indications, but undergoing alternative procedures (e.g. other endoscopic procedures, surgical interventions or percutaneous interventions) will be enrolled in the registry as "controls" according to specific research questions.
The same variables will be collected, with the exception of technical variables related to the EUS-guided intervention.
