Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This trial is a prospective, single-arm, multi-center clinical trial. Four hospitals with national medical trial institution qualifications are selected as clinical trial centers. Qualified participants will receive endoscopic ultrasound-guided laser ablation by LaserPro Diode Laser System according to the routine procedures. The results will be recorded according to the requirements of the primary and secondary efficacy indicators. After then, statistical comparisons of effectiveness and safety of the procedure will be made according to groups.

- description
- This trial is a prospective, single-arm, multi-center clinical trial. Four hospitals with national medical trial institution qualifications are selected as clinical trial centers. Qualified participants will receive endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided laser ablation (LA) by LaserPro Diode Laser System according to the routine procedures. The results will be recorded according to the requirements of the primary and secondary efficacy indicators. After then, statistical comparisons of effectiveness and safety of the procedure will be made according to groups.
