Diagnosis of Pancreatic Cysts: Endoscopic Ultrasound With Fine Needle Aspiration (EUS/FNA), Direct Visualization, and Confocal Laser-induced Endomicroscopy—A Pilot Study


Data will be analyzed descriptively to include patient characteristics, procedural
variables, and outcomes.


Inclusion Criteria:



- Patients scheduled for an EUS-FNA procedure of a pancreatic cyst,

- Aged above 18 years

- Granted written informed consent for the study can be included in the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Contraindication for undergoing EUS/FNA procedure (such as unwilling or medically
unstable patients, patients with severe coagulopathy, patients with poor
visualization on EUS for various reasons, etc)

- Pregnant or breastfeeding

- Allergy to fluorescein

- Renal insufficiency

Type of Study:

Observational

Study Design:

Observational Model: Case-Only, Time Perspective: Prospective

Outcome Measure:

Assess the yield of combination modalities in the diagnosis of pancreatic cysts using EUS/FNA, Fiber optics (direct visualization probe), and prototype needle based confocal laser-induced endomicroscopy miniprobe (nCLE)

Outcome Description:

Data will be analyzed descriptively to include patient characteristics, procedural variables, and outcomes.

Outcome Time Frame:

From the date of imaging until follow up for 6 months to two years.

Safety Issue:

Yes
