Ultrathin endoscope equipped with ultrasonic miniprobe for upper gastrointestinal ultrasonography in a porcine model

Ultrathin esophagogastroduodenoscopy (UT-EGD) is an ideal tool for unsedated upper gastrointestinal examination and pediatric gastroenterology but is rarely competent for endoscopic ultrasonography mini probe (EUS-MP).
