Abstract During the last 30 years, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has evolved from a diagnostic tool to an interventional instrument with impressive and rapidly evolving applications that range from tissue acquisition to biliary tree drainage or creation of anastomosis [1]. Pancreatic lesion ablation using thermal energy or through the injection of substances under EUS guidance is one of the more promising applications [2,3].
