BACKGROUND: @entity2846 ( @entity2846 ) is an established treatment for upper @entity490 . Recently, endoscopic ultrasound-guided @entity2846 (EUS- @entity2846 ) was introduced and has enabled the performance of @entity2846 under real-time imaging guidance, thereby making this technique much safer and easier. However, this procedure is not always efficacious, and a limited number of @entity1 benefit from it. It should not be recommended for @entity1 suspected of having unfavorable outcomes. We determined the predictive factors for response to EUS- @entity2846 in order to enable rational selection of the therapeutic strategy. @entity1 AND METHODS: Forty-seven consecutive @entity1 who underwent EUS- @entity2846 at our institutions were eligible for this study. Absolute @entity1068 containing a contrast medium was injected just above the origin of the celiac trunk from the aorta under real-time EUS guidance, and abdominal computed tomography was performed immediately after the procedure to evaluate the distribution of the injected @entity1068 . The efficacy in @entity158 relief was evaluated based on the @entity158 score at day 7 after EUS- @entity2846 . RESULTS: @entity158 relief was obtained in 32 @entity1 (68.1%). Multivariate analysis using a multiple logistic regression model revealed that direct invasion of the celiac plexus and distribution of @entity1068 only on the left side of the celiac artery were significant factors for a negative response to EUS- @entity2846 (odds ratio = 4.82 and 8.67, P = 0.0387 and 0.0224, respectively). CONCLUSION: EUS- @entity2846 seems to be less effective in @entity1 with direct invasion of the celiac plexus. @entity1068 should be injected on both sides of the celiac axis to obtain greater @entity158 relief.
