Abstract:
Objective To determine the safety and accuracy of longitudinal endoscopic ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration(EUS FNA) in diagnosis of upper gastrointestinal tract and adjacent organs lesions.MethodsThirty one patients had EUS FNA,while cytology and pathology examination were performed.Results Adequate specimens were obtained by EUS FNA in 25 of total 31 patients, with sensitivity and specificity of EUS FNA in all of the 31 patients 81.5% and 100%.While the sensitivity and specificity in 25 patients with adequate specimens reached 90.5% and 100%.No severe complications were found.Conclusions Longitudinal EUS FNA is sensitive and effective in diagnosis of upper gastrointestinal tract and adjacent organs lesions,especially for those whose diagnosis are hard to get by regular methods.
