Study Summary

The goal of this clinical research study is to compare the performance of a newly available needle with reverse bevel design (called the EchoTip® Procore™ needle) with standard needles to see which needle gives better diagnostic information for pancreatic lesions.

Primary Outcome

The main outcome measure of the study was the diagnostic adequacy of the 22Gpc using SST and CST. The cytologic diagnostic adequacy of 22Gpc was also compared to the standard 25 G needle. Each participant underwent 4 study passes, 2 passes with a standard 25 G needle using SST, plus a random assignment to one of two groups for 2 passes with the 22Gpc (1 pass for cytologic and 1 pass for histologic analysis) using SST (group 1) or CST (group 2). Diagnostic adequacy was defined as the ability to p
