Feasibility and Accuracy of Transduodenal Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Fine-Needle Aspiration of Solid Lesions Using a 19-Gauge Flexible Needle: A Multicenter Study

Abstract: INTRODUCTION Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) is a safe, simple, and accurate method for correctly diagnosing pancreatic lesions, gastrointestinal (GI) submucosal lesions, and abdominal and thoracic lymph node metastases. When performed by trained cytopathologists, its results are reliable, 1 with a diagnostic yield of approximately of 90%-95% and an overall sensitivity and specificity of 90% and 100%, respectively. 2 However, the diagnostic sensitivity is high only when rapid on-s… Show more

“…In a recent study it was observed that the 19G needle when compared to 22G needle has a larger sample size and it has a higher diagnostic sensitivity for lymphoma 19 , 20 . This information is in accordance with previous publications with the esophageal ultrasound (EUS) where the gastroenterologists used larger 19G needles 21 , 22 . However; based on the published literature regarding cryo biopsies for endobronchial lesions it was observed that larger samples were obtained 23 .…”

“…The transduodenal approach showed a significantly lower positive rate for cytology, and this may be due to disruption of the needle from its original arrangement. 21 Further research is needed in this regard.…”

“…Five patients who eventually experienced chest pain did not receive antithrombotic treatment. Statistically, there was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of the incidence of complications ( P > 0.05), which suggested that heparin is safe in mediastinal puncture without causing severe complications [ 5 , 30 , 31 ].…”
