Prospective Comparison of a Novel 22-gauge Core Biopsy Needle With Reverse Bevel Design to a Standard Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) Guided Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) Needle for Diagnosis of Solid Pancreatic Mass Lesions
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Novel 22-gauge Core Biopsy Needle + Standard Biopsy Needle for Solid Pancreatic Mass Lesions and Malignant Neoplasm of Pancreas. Completed, enrolled 60 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The goal of this clinical research study is to compare the performance of a newly available needle with reverse bevel design (called the EchoTip® Procore™ needle) with standard needles to see which needle gives better diagnostic information for pancreatic lesions.
