Sa1434 SUPERIORITY OF 20G FRANSEEN NEEDLE OVER OTHER FINE NEEDLE BIOPSY AND ASPIRATION NEEDLES IN PANCREATIC MASSES: A NETWORK META-ANALYSIS

Abstract

predictive value (PPV) / negative predictive value (NPV) of aberrant flow with metastatic PB cancer was 60%, 33%, 82%, and 14%. Next, the Kappa of "swirling smoke" between the experienced endosonographer and three blinded co-authors was slight to substantial, from 0.18 to 0.69. There was no relationship between year of training and Kappa. Conclusions: 1. "Swirling smoke" can readily be seen with routine EUS equipment, without the need for special injections (e.g. microbubbles). 2. There was slight to substantial agreement of aberrant flow among independent observers. 3. We suspect that "Swirling smoke" has a high PPV for pancreatic cancer. Further studies are needed to clarify the significance of this finding.
