Prospective Registry of Therapeutic Endoscopic Ultrasound Procedures Long-Term Outcomes and Comparisons with Alternative Treatments

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating the long-term outcomes of therapeutic endoscopic ultrasound (T-EUS) procedures used to treat conditions like gastric outlet obstruction, biliary obstruction, acute pancreatic fluid collections, infected necrosis, acute cholecystitis, and chronic pancreatitis. This observational, prospective study aims to understand clinical success rates and adverse events, as well as the clinical and technical factors that may predict these results. The study also includes patients undergoing alternative standard procedures for comparison. The treatments studied include various T-EUS procedures such as EUS-guided drainage of collections, biliary drainage, gallbladder drainage, gastro-jejunostomy, EUS-directed ERCP, and pancreatic duct drainage using plastic or metal stents. Patients receiving these procedures will be compared to control patients undergoing non-EUS endoscopic, percutaneous, or surgical interventions for similar clinical indications. Participants will be followed to collect data on clinical success at 30 days and adverse events up to 12 months. Researchers will review clinical and technical variables associated with outcomes. The study involves standard clinical practice decisions, with data collected from both T-EUS and control procedure groups to better understand which patients benefit most from these interventions and how to predict risks. Participation includes informed consent and regular follow-up visits or assessments as dictated by clinical care.
