Olympus received the following literature article: endoscopic ultrasonography-guided fine needle aspiration for extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma: a safe tissue sampling modality by t.Onoyama, et al.The study evaluated the efficacy and safety of endoscopic ultrasonography-guided fine needle aspiration (eus-fna) for diagnosing extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ecc) compared with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ercp) tissue sampling.Patients who underwent eus-fna or ercp tissue sampling to differentiate ecc from benign biliary disease were enrolled retrospectively between october 2011 and march 2017.The diagnostic performances of eus-fna and ercp tissue sampling based on pathological evaluation.The study compared adverse events in eus-fna and ercp tissue sampling.Seventy-three (73) patients with biliary disease were enrolled.Eus-fna and ercp were performed in 19 and 54 patients, respectively.Sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of ercp tissue sampling were 76.0%, 100%, and 88.9%, respectively, and for eus-fna these were 81.8%, 87.5%, and 84.2%, respectively.Statistical values of ercp tissue sampling and eus-fna were not significantly different.The adverse event frequency of eus-fna was significantly lower than that of ercp tissue sampling (0% vs.25.9%, p = 0.033).The diagnostic ability of eus-fna for ecc is similar to that of ercp tissue sampling.Eus-fna is a safer tissue sampling modality than ercp for the evaluation of extrahepatic biliary disease.Complications occurred in the ercp group such as acute pancreatitis occurred at a rate of 14.8% (8/54), with one case of severe pancreatitis.Infection occurred at a rate of 11.1% (6/54, cholangitis).All cases were resolved with conservative treatment.Serious adverse events such as perforation or hemorrhage were not observed.There was no procedure-related mortality.In conclusion, the study demonstrated that the diagnostic ability of eus-fna for ecc is similar to that of ercp tissue sampling.Eus-fna is a safer tissue sampling modality than ercp for the evaluation of extrahepatic biliary disease.The single use 3-lumen sphincterotome v kd-v411m-0725 was used in ercp procedures which required an endoscopic sphincterotomy for difficult cases.The adverse events reported in the study: ercp: acute pancreatitis (7).Severe pancreatitis (1).Infection (cholangitis) (6).This event includes three (3) reports: (b)(6) for jf-260v (b)(6) for fb-45q-1 (b)(6) for kd-v411m-0725 this is report 3 of 3 for (b)(6) for kd-v411m-0725.
