No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the yield of combination modalities in the diagnosis of pancreatic cysts using EUS/FNA, Fiber optics (direct visualization probe), and prototype needle based confocal laser-induced endomicroscopy miniprobe (nCLE).

Conditions

  • Pancreatic Cysts

Interventions

DEVICE

Direct visualization and needle based confocal laser-induced endomicroscopy miniprobe

Patients will undergo the EUS-FNA procedure, as per standard of care, plus an additional direct visualization (fiber optic probe) and nCLE procedure with the prototype probes, which will add 10 minutes maximum to the EUS-FNA procedure. The probes will be positioned against the lining of the pancreatic cyst, and images will be acquired. After imaging, fine needle aspiration of the lesion will be performed, as usual.
