Su1424 UTILITY OF PERFORMING ESOPHAGOGASTRODUODENOSCOPY AT THE TIME OF ENDOSCOPIC ULTRASOUND

Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) at the time of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is not routinely performed unless there is a clear indication for EGD. It is unknown whether significant incidental upper gastrointestinal lesions are missed when using non-forward-viewing endoscopes without completing a forward-viewing exam. The purpose of this study is to examine the prevalence of clinically significant incidental upper gastrointestinal tract lesions that were found using a standard forward-viewing scope at the same time of EUS exam and whether this led to change in the management.
