1 EUS-FNA Karolinska experiences Karin von Sivers Diagnostic Radiology Vitali Sviatoha Pathology and Cytology Edneia Tani Pathology and Cytology Karolinska University Hospital - Solna Stockholm - Sweden

2 Use of Endoscopic ultrasound guided FNA Difficult accessible intrathoracic, intraabdominal and gastrointestinal lesions. Aspiration biopsy during endoscopic procedure. Alternative for open surgical, laparascopical biopsy.

3 Advantages of Endoscopic ultrasound guided FNA: Aspirates from difficult accessible lesions: - mediastinal lymph nodes / tumors, lung tumors. - esophageal wall - ventricular wall - gallbladder, liver - pancreas, spleen, left adrenal gland - intraabdominal cavity - colon Enough material for morphology and ancillary techniques. Less traumatic than surgical biopsy Cheaper than surgical biopsy Visible US structure of the lesion, adjacent structures and vascularisation (Doppler).

4 Disadvantages of Endoscopic ultrasound guided FNA: Experienced personal needed. More expensive than usual FNA or USguided FNA. Time consuming procedure comparing to usual FNA or US-guided FNA. (ca 30 min at Karolinska Hospital).

5 EUS-FNAB Retrospective study 337 patients male : 163 female Age: 2-86 year Supradiafragmatic 181 Infradiafragmatic 156

6 EUS-FNAB Outpatient examination No coagulation status Fasting 4 hours Pharyngeal anestesia with spray Sedation- Midazolam 1mg/ml, 2-5 mg i.v. (Ketogan 2.5mg, 1mg/ml i.v.) Time required aprox 30 min

7 EUS- linear scanning Endoscopic video image EUS - radial scanning

8 EUS-INTERVENTION Sector/Linear Olympus GF-ULT 160 Power Doppler

36 Endoscopic ultrasound guided FNA Conclusions: - Is a reliable diagnostic method for difficult accessible intraabdominal and thoracic lesions. - Cooperation between endoscopist and cytopatologist is important. - Correct care of the sample for morphology and different ancillary techniques - On site assessment of sample with quick staining and microscopy

37 Final message For endoscopists: look for experienced cytopathologists! For cytopathologists: work in cooperation with skillfull endoscopists!
