Background and study aims: It is uncertain if needle gauge impacts the diagnostic accuracy
of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) of pancreatic mass …

Background Robust data in favour of a clear superiority of 22 versus 25 Gauge needles for
endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration are still lacking. Objective We aimed to …

Background Several recent studies have investigated the utility of 19-, 22-, and 25-gauge
needles in endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS–FNA) of pancreatic …

Objectives Although a large gauge needle can procure more tissue at endoscopic
ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA), its advantage over smaller needles is …

Objectives. Endoscopic ultrasonography-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) is widely
performed for pancreatic masses. The 25-gauge needle (25G) might be easier to be …

Background and study aims: Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-
FNA) with 25-gauge needles yields small volume samples that are mainly processed for …

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 …

Abstract Background Both 22-and 25-gauge needles are used for endoscopic ultrasound
(EUS)-guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA) of lesions, yet limited data exist on whether …

Robust data in favor of clear superiority of 22G fine-needle biopsy (FNB) over 22G FNA for
an echoendoscopic-guided sampling of pancreatic masses are lacking. The objective of this …

Background and study aims: The fanning technique for endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-
needle aspiration (EUS–FNA) involves sampling multiple areas within a lesion with each …
