Brief Summary:
EUS-guided liver biopsy (EUS-LB) is increasingly used to diagnose patients with liver disease, especially in anxious patients who need sedation. There is an ongoing debate about the optimal needle size for EUS-LB. Some clinicians prefer a thinner 22-gauge biopsy needle because they presume it to be safer, and some studies show that their performance is the same as a thicker 19-gauge needle. However, some other studies show that the adequacy and diagnostic accuracy of a 19-gauge needle is better, and the rates of adverse events are the same. In this study, we aimed to compare the adequacy and diagnostic accuracy of samples obtained by the same endoscopist from the same liver lobe during the same session.
