Performance Characteristics of a New Flexible Nitinol 19-Gauge Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Fine Needle Aspiration Needle
We would like to report out results with the use of new flexible nitinol 19 gauge (G) endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) needle. We studied the performance characteristics of this new EUS needle (ExpectTM 19 Flex; Boston Scientific, Natick, MA, USA) in cases considered difficult to perform with traditional stainless steel 19 G needles. Inclusion criteria were 1) lesio...
متن کاملEndoscopic Ultrasound Guided Rendezvous Drainage of Biliary Obstruction Using a New Flexible 19-Gauge Fine Needle Aspiration Needle
Background and Aim. A successful endoscopic ultrasound guided rendezvous (EUS-RV) biliary drainage is dependent on accurate puncture of the bile duct and precise guide wire manipulation across the ampulla of Vater. We aim to study the feasibility of using a flexible 19-gauge fine aspiration needle in the performance of EUS-RV biliary drainage. Method. This is a retrospective case series of EUS-...
متن کاملEndoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Fine-Needle Aspiration Vs Fine-Needle Biopsy.
RM The primary goal of fine-needle aspiration is to acquire individual cells as opposed to tissue, which is the aim of fine-needle biopsy. Cells may not necessarily provide the stroma, or the associated architecture, of the surrounding tissue. Thus, if the surrounding architecture is needed to make a diagnosis, a fine-needle biopsy, which typically uses a core biopsy needle, should provide that.
متن کاملEndoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration of a pericardial mass.
The prevalence of primary pericardial neoplasms ranges from about 0.001%– 0.007%. Primary malignant pericardial mesothelioma is extremely rare, with a reported prevalence of 0.0022% in autopsy series [1]. Although malignant mesothelioma is the most common primary malignancy of the pericardium, only approximately 350 cases of pericardial mesothelioma have been reported in the literature. Diagnos...
متن کاملUsefulness of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration for lymphadenopathy
Lymphadenopathy may be difficult to diagnose using imaging results alone. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) may help to diagnose and determine the appropriate management of lymphadenopathy. EUS-FNA has been used as a safe and less invasive method for obtaining pathologic specimens from extraluminal lesions using endoscopic ultrasound. The present study evaluated the ...
