The advent of the first electric driven EUS-guided 17 gauge core needle biopsy - A pilot study on subepithelial lesions

CONCLUSIONS: By using an electric driven 17-G biopsy device, a true cylinder of core tissue can be obtained in one single puncture from the area of interest reducing the need for a second sampling. The absolute benefit of EUS-guided CNB is that the sample can be handled and histologically prepared in the same manner as standard percutaneous core needle sample, e.g., breast and prostate cancer.PMID:38618997 | DOI:10.1080/00365521.2024.2336611
