- EUS-guided splenic artery embolization for variceal hemorrhage: balancing creativity and innovation in Endo-hepatology with cautionGastrointestinal EndoscopyVol. 95Issue 1
- PreviewThe past decade has seen the development and evolution of Endo-hepatology, an exciting field that represents the intersection between endoscopy and liver disease.1 The refinement of diagnostic tools including EUS-guided liver biopsy, portal pressure gradient measurement, and shear wave elastography as well as therapeutic interventions for gastroesophageal varices have empowered endoscopists to partner with hepatologists to provide comprehensive care for patients with complex liver disease.
