Efficiency Study of the EUS-FNA Needles With and Without a Side Port in Pancreatic Masses

NCT01978808 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 200

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

For diagnosis of pancreatic tumors, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and EUS-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) are well established techniques in clinical practice. We hypothesize that a FNA needle with a side port could improve the diagnostic yield. The aim of this prospective randomized study is to determine whether there is a difference in diagnostic yield in patients with pancreatic masses for evaluation.
