Figure 1 Stepwise EUS-guided pancreatic cyst ablation therapy. Step 1: FNA (left) within a septated cyst (heavy black line). Step 2: 5-minute ethanol (middle) lavage of the cyst, followed by aspiration of the ethanol. Step 3: injection of paclitaxel (right) into the cyst, resulting in expansion of the cyst to its original diameter.
