Adverse events associated with EUS and EUS-guided procedures

This document is intended to educate readers on the rates and predictors of adverse events in adult patients who undergo endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). Our goal is to assist endoscopists in providing accurate, evidence-based, and up-to-date information on the rates of adverse events to patients, caretakers, and trainees. The information provided should not be construed as encouraging or discouraging any particular treatment or technique. Clinical decision-making in any specific case involves a personalized and thorough analysis of the patient ’s condition, available courses of action, local expertise, and the patient’s values and preferences.
