Abstract

Interventional endoscopic ultrasound is a minimally invasive therapeutic procedure with a variety of indications – pancreatic fluid collections drainage, biliary drainage after failed endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography, gallbladder drainage in patients who are contraindicated for surgery, coeliac plexus neurolysis, radio frequency ablation in biliopancreatic oncological conditions.
The development of new device senables the opportunity of evolving innovative procedures. Endoscopic ultrasound–guided gastroenterostomy (EUS-GE) is the creation of an endoscopic, non-surgical and stable anastomosis. EUS-GE is a feasible, safe and effective procedure according to meta-analyses, clinical trials and retrospective analyses of the experience of leading tertiary centers. 
It’s an alternative to surgery and standard endoscopic stent placement. Thus EUS-GE guarantees enteral feeding. The aim of this article is to present our own clinical experience based on and compared to the literature data, as well as to the main steps of the technique, the possible post procedural complications and their management.
