Core Tip

Core Tip: Endohepatology, where endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and hepatology are combined, allows for novel and minimally invasive ways to investigate and treat liver disease. These procedures, especially EUS-guided liver biopsy, portal pressure gradient measurement and obliteration of gastric varices, have now been demonstrated to be technically feasible and safe; thus, highlighting the continued expansion, and clinical implications of diagnostic and therapeutic EUS.
