The Role of Endoscopic Ultrasound in the Interventional Management of Mediastinal Collections: A Narrative Review

|
By Reviewer Guides, Sandra Maisterra, Ricard Ramos, Julio G. Velasquez-Rodriguez
| The Cureus Journal of Medical Science
The management of mediastinal collections in which a drainage is required includes a surgical approach and minimally invasive nonsurgical procedures such as percutaneously guided imaging and interventional endoscopy. The nature and location of the collection will condition the selection of the strategy. Furthermore, although scientific evidence of EUS-guided therapy is limited, it is a promising, minimally invasive technique.

On the other hand, whereas real-time optical diagnosis has clearly demonstrated its effectiveness for differentiating adenomas from hyperplastic polyps in average CRC risk population, 14 it has scarcely been studied in the specific setting of IBD. Real-time optical diagnosis can potentially improve the effectiveness of CE by reducing the number of unnecessary biopsies and optimising the endoscopic treatment of IBD-associated neoplasia.

Objective Outside clinical trials, the effectiveness of chromoendoscopy (CE) for long-standing IBD surveillance is controversial. We aimed to assess the effectiveness of CE for neoplasia detection and characterisation, in real-life. Design From June 2012 to 2014, patients with IBD were prospectively included in a multicentre cohort study. Each colonic segment was evaluated with white light followed by 0.4% indigo carmine CE. Specific lesions' features were recorded. Optical diagnosis was assessed.
