“…72 The superiority of a 19-gauge needle specifically designed for EUS-guided fine needle biopsy (FNB), the Procore needle (Cook Medical), over the Quick-Core needle in performing EUS-LB has been demonstrated in a cross-sectional study. 74 LB was performed using the TCB device in 45 patients and the Procore needle in 30 cases. Compared with TCB, the Procore required significantly fewer passes (median, 2 vs. 3; p < 0.0001) and produced a longer aggregate length (median, 20 vs. 9 mm; p < 0.0001) with more CPTs (median, 5 vs. 2; p < 0.0003).…”

“…Two patients in the TCB arm developed abdominal pain after the biopsy. 74 In another recent study, Nieto et al 75 used the Sharkcore (Medtronic, Dublin, Ireland) newly developed biopsy needle with a modified one pass wet suction technique in 165 patients. The median of the maximum intact core tissue length obtained was 24 mm (18-35 mm).…”

In the last few years, the diagnostic and therapeutic utilization of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) for a variety of liver conditions has exponentially grown. We performed a thorough search for all available studies on the performance of diagnostic and therapeutic EUS in the field of hepatology. This article reviews the indication of EUS in the evaluation and treatment of portal hypertension, portal vein pressure measurement, focal liver lesions, and parenchymal liver diseases, and presents all the clinical evidences available so far in this regard. All the review data suggest that EUS is becoming an increasingly important tool in the armamentarium of the hepatologists for the management of certain liver-related conditions. Implementation in the education of the hepatologists of means to become more familiar with both diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities of EUS is warranted.

“…The first report was by Mathew in 2005 for two patients who underwent either EUS or endoscopic retrograde pancreaticography (ERCP) for evaluation of abnormal liver enzymes . Since then, multiple studies have shown the efficacy of EUS‐guided liver biopsy with specimens showing diagnostic yield of 90–100% and a low rate of adverse events . Comparisons between the total specimen length and number of complete portal triads in the literature to date can be found in Table .…”

The diagnosis and management of many gastrointestinal conditions has been augmented by the development of endoscopic ultrasound. Its role in the diagnosis and management of liver disease has been somewhat limited, but with the rapid development of therapeutic advancements it has quickly emerged as a useful tool in the management of complex hepatic conditions. This includes its use in the management of complications of portal hypertension as well as its use in liver lesions and cancer. In this paper, we review case studies, case series and trials for hepatic applications of endoscopic ultrasound to provide an overview of its utilization in this field and demonstrating its more novel applications for future use.

“…To overcome the main limitations of a Tru-Cut biopsy needle, the same manufacture developed a new needle, the ProCore ® needle (Cook ® Medical). Sey et al[ 9 ] compared the diagnostic yield of a 19-gauge ProCore ® needle with a Quick-Core ® needle. A total of 45 patients underwent liver biopsy by using the Quick-Core ® and 30 patients the ProCore ® needle.…”

The inspection of the liver is a valuable part of the upper endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) studies, regardless of the primary indication for the examination. The detailed images of the liver segments provided by EUS allows the use of this technique in the study of parenchymal liver disease and even in the diagnosis and classification of focal liver lesions. EUS has also emerged as an important tool in understanding the complex collateral circulation in patients with portal hypertension and their clinical and prognostic value. Recently, EUS-guided portal vein catheterization has been performed for direct portal pressure measurement as an alternative method to evaluate portal hemodynamics. In this review, the authors summarize the available evidence regarding the application of EUS to patients with liver diseases and how we can apply it in our current clinical practice.
