Capillarity Versus Wet Technique. Comparison Between Two Methods of Tissue Acquisition Guided by Endoscopic Ultrasound.
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Fine-Needle Aspiration for Digestive Cancer. Completed, enrolled 30 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
There are various techniques to obtain tissue samples by using fine needle guided by endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). These techniques attempt to obtain the most adequate material with the best quantity and quality for analysis. Currently studies that compare the results concerning capillary technique versus wet technique are not available. In this sense, the authors consider necessary to explore both techniques documenting the results that can define which could be the best method so that it can routinely be used in cases of digestive neoplasia.

Timeline
Interventions
Patients will be submitted to both techniques of tissue acquisition in the same procedure of endoscopic ultrasound. Capillarity technique, requires not remove the stiletto from the needle until the punctures are done for the biopsy sampling. Wet suction technique, requires saline solution to replace the air column. Samplings will be placed in two different jars, where Jar 1 corresponds to Capillarity Technique sampling and Jar 2 to Wet Technique. Once the sampling preparation is concluded will be send to the Pathology Department to be subsequently blindly analyzed by two independent pathologists, that means they would not be aware of the tissue acquisition method used in each of the microscopic slides to analyze.
