Infos

This book provides  an up-to-date review of therapeutic EUS with an equal focus on technical descriptions with ample endoscopic images/video clips by world experts and the scientific evidence behind the described techniques. The book  provides an overview of the field in a structured manner, starting with general topics on equipment and service development and extending to the fields of EUS-guided drainage, anti-tumor therapies, and other specific EUS-guided interventional treatments. 

Therapeutic Endoscopic Ultrasound is a key resource for endoscopists, gastroenterologists, surgeons, and GI oncologists.

Evangelos Kalaitzakis is a medical gastroenterologist and interventional endoscopist. He obtained a PhD in gastroenterology from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden where he also completed his residency. He trained in interventional endoscopy in the University College London Hospital in the UK. He has been working at the Copenhagen University Hospital as an interventional endoscopist with a focus on EUS and ERCP since 2013 and obtained the title of associate professor in medicine at the University of Copenhagen in 2015. He has authored in excess of 100 peer-reviewed papers in the fields of endoscopy, pancreatology, and hepatology and he is an editorial board member of Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology and Endoscopic Ultrasound.

Peter Vilmann

Peter Vilmann started as an international recognized pioneer on EUS with linear transducers, as well as a variety of EUS-guided diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. He was the first to perform EUS-guided fine needle biopsy (1991) and the inventor of the first needle assembly for EUS-guided aspiration biopsy. During the years he has published more than 200 publications accepted in peer/reviewed international medical journals, as well as more than 34 medical books or chapters as author or co-author.

Prof. Vilmann holds a full clinical professorship at Copenhagen University. Present research interests include advanced endoscopy techniques in general, but also further work in the field of EUS and EUS-guided biopsy, diagnostic (including elastography and contrast enhancement) and therapeutic EUS procedures. He has been given several awards and holds an honorary title (Doctor Honoris Causa), at the University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Craiova, in Romania 2009.

During the years he has been part of various international committees, including the International Committee of the ASGE, the Guideline Committee of ESGE and recently appointed to the International Affairs Committee of the ESGE.
