Core Tip	Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided interventions have become increasingly popular. The advantages of EUS guidance over percutaneous and surgical routes are well established for pseudocyst drainage and celiac plexus neurolysis as they have been assessed in high level of evidence literature. However, for other very fashionable procedures such as bile duct and pancreatic duct drainage, the role of EUS guidance has only been reported as preliminary studies in limited number of patients. The level of evidence of each EUS-guided intervention is accurately reported in this review in order to provide the readers with the current status of knowledge and allow insights into potential future direction of research.
