Abstract
Background and Aim Needle-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (nCLE) allows for real-time optical biopsies during endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA). Little is known about nCLE imaging of gastrointestinal subepithelial lesions (GI-SEL); therefore, we determined its feasibility. Methods We carried out EUS, nCLE, and finally FNA in 25 patients with GI-SEL between November 2015 and December 2018. We retrospectively...
