A pilot study of safety and adequacy of pancreatic lesion biopsy (Spy Bite)
目的
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of an experimental technique to obtain biopsies of pancreatic lesions. This technique uses biopsy forceps, which are small jaw-like devices that open and close, to also obtain tissue samples for examination and diagnosis. The biopsy forceps will pass through the endoscope that is already in place for the endoscopic ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration procedure, and an additional biopsy will be taken. This technique is experimental because biopsy forceps are routinely used in gastrointestinal endoscopy, but are not routinely used to obtain biopsies of the pancreas.
