PTH-036 Accuracy and safety of the 22g sharkcore needle for eus-fine needle biopsy: a case series

Published: Jun 17, 2017
Abstract

Introduction

Adequate tissue sampling for pathologic evaluation is one of the main challenges of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) procedures. Novel needles for EUS fine needle biopsies (FNB) may improve tissue sampling. The distinctive tip geometry of the SharkCore needle (Medtronic, Dublin, Ireland) with six distal cutting edges has been designed to obtain consistent specimens without altering the tissue architecture. Our aim was to...
