Introduction: A prior study with 22‐gauge needles recommended more than seven needle
passes for endoscopic ultrasound‐guided fine‐needle aspiration biopsy (EUS‐FNA) of solid …

Objectives Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) is accurate in
cytological diagnosis of pancreatic lesions. Our aim was to determine optimal number of …

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of on-site cytopathological
evaluation on the diagnostic yield of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided fine needle …

Materials and Methods: Data from consecutive patients with pancreatic solid lesions who
underwent EUS-fine needle biopsy (EUS-FNB) using the 22-gauge Acquire™ needle were …

Background and Aim To improve diagnostic yield of endoscopic ultrasound‐guided fine‐
needle aspiration (EUS‐FNA) in solid pancreatic lesions, on‐site cytology review has been …

Background: Needle size may affect the specimen quality of EUS-FNA of SPL. Little data
exists on the performance characteristics of 22-gauge and 25-gauge needles in EUS-FNA of …

Abstract Background and Aims: Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle biopsy (EUS-
FNB) has been proposed to obtain high-quality tissue samples for pancreatic tumors. We …

BACKGROUND: The difference in the diagnostic accuracy of 22-versus 25-gauge needles
in EUS-FNA is not clear. AIMS: To compare the rates of technical success, diagnostic …

Background Several studies have investigated the diagnostic accuracy of endoscopic
ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) for pancreatic lesions, but they have …

Background To compare the diagnostic yield and safety of 22G endoscopic ultrasound-
guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) and endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle …
