The efficacy and safety of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided alcohol ablation of an insulinoma in a patient not candidate for surgery is being evaluated. A 89 year-old male patient with insulinoma and serious cardiac disease was treated with EUS-guided alcohol ablation. The only complication was a slight degree of pancreatitis. Two months after the ablation values of plasma glucose and serum pro-insulin were normalized. EUS-guided alcohol ablation is a safe and efficient alternative to surgical resection of insulinomas in poor surgical candidates. |
