Comparison of 20-gauge Procore ® and 22-gauge Acquire® needles for EUS-FNB of solid pancreatic masses: an observational study.

CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest significant differences, with a mean cumulative length of tissue core biopsies per needle pass significantly higher with the 22-gauge Acquire® needle. This simple criterion seems reliable and reproducible. PMID: 31067140 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
