Primary outcomePrimary: Capability of Performing EUS-FNTA Through the Duodenum by Placing the Target Lesion in the Proper Position With Insertion of the Needle Into the Lesion — 228 Participants

Summary

This study evaluates the feasibility, safety and accuracy of a 19 gauge (19G) needle in nitinol in the performance of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) guided transduodenal biopsy for the acquisition of samples for histologic analysis. Patients with lesions that can be approached only from the duodenum will be prospectively enrolled.
