A prospective pilot comparison of wet and dry heparinized suction for EUS-guided liver biopsy (with videos)

As EUS-guided liver biopsy (EUS-LB) becomes more widely used, further studies have investigated ways to improve tissue yields. Use of a heparin primed needle may lead to less clotting of blood within the needle, improve tissue recovery, and decrease fragmentation. The purpose of this study was to prospectively evaluate wet suction using a heparin primed needle for EUS-LB.
