When high viscosity of pancreatic cysts precludes effective EUS-FNA: a benchtop comparison of negative pressure devices
Background and study aims Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) of pancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs) is an important diagnostic tool; however, it is often unsuccessful due to high viscosity of cystic fluid. In an effort to improve FNA, we objectively compared eight vacuum devi...
