Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has evolved from a diagnostic method for staging tumors and diagnostic tissue acquisition to a technology that has revolutionized minimally invasive endoscopic care across the disease spectrum. Recent years have witnessed a rapid advance in the number and types of procedures that are performed and in the devices that are designed to deliver EUS-guided interventions. These advances offer safer, less-invasive alternatives to traditional therapies and define disruptive technologies that are impacting patient care. The purpose of this review is to discuss the state of the art in therapeutic EUS procedures, focusing on current advances that are transforming endoscopic patient care.
