Abstract
Endoscopic ultrasound(EUS) guided fine needle tissue sampling can be done using fine-needle aspiration(FNA) or fine-needle biopsy (FNB) needles. A novel FNB SharkCore(Medtronic, Dublin, Ireland) needle (FNB-SC) has been shown to achieve good diagnostic yield with fewer number of needle passes. The aim of this study was to compare diagnostic yield and procedure time for EUS performed using either traditional FNA needle or the FNB-SC needle in...
