A Multicenter, Prospective, Randomized Study on Endosonographic Evaluation of Pancreatic Cystic Lesions Using 22 G, 19 G, and Flexible 19 G Fine Needle Aspiration
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating 19 G Flex Needle, 22 G Needle, and 1 other intervention for Pancreatic Cystic Lesions. Completed, enrolled 250 participants across 8 sites in 3 countries.
Detailed Summary
To document impact of EUS-FNA needle size and flexibility on effectiveness of pancreatic cystic lesions (PCL) aspiration, on ability to obtain sufficient material for standard diagnostic testing, and on diagnostic accuracy of EUS-FNA aspirate for differentiation of mucinous (pre-malignant) and non-mucinous cysts.
