Summary

Ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration represents the gold-standard for the pathological diagnosis of solid pancreatic lesions. New needles design allowed to obtain samples suitable for histological evaluation (endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle biopsy). the aim was to compare two different techniques during ultrasound-guided fine needle biopsy, for diagnosis of suspect pancreatic solid lesions.

Conditions

  • Pancreatic Solid Lesions

Interventions

DEVICE

Stylet slow-pull technique

During endosonographic examination, the pancreatic mass was evaluated with color Doppler to avoid the involvement of vessels. The needle (20 Gauge, EchoTip ProCore 20G with ReCoil Stylet™, Cook Medical, Bloomington, IN, USA) was sharpened by withdrawing the stylet approximately 2 mm, and then was advanced into the lesion: 15 to-and-fro movements within the lesion were performed, with simultaneous minimal negative pressure provided by pulling the needle stylet slowly and continuously.

DEVICE

Standard suction technique

During endosonographic examination, the pancreatic mass was evaluated with color Doppler to avoid the involvement of vessels. The needle (20 Gauge, EchoTip ProCore 20G with ReCoil Stylet™, Cook Medical, Bloomington, IN, USA) was sharpened by withdrawing the stylet approximately 2 mm, and then was advanced into the lesion: 15 to-and-fro movements within the lesion were performed using a 10-mL suction syringe.
