No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy (EUS-FNA) is a reliable, safe, and effective technique for obtaining samples from pancreatic masses. A new core biopsy needle has been developed by Beacon bnx® (Medtronic, Newton, MA) that allows the possibility to achieve a core for histology evaluation and the interchangibility of needle size using the same needle shelter and different needle sizes.

Conditions
