“…According to The American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE), patients who undergo EUS‐FNA of cystic lesions (pancreatic or mediastinal) are at an increased risk of fever and possibly of infectious adverse events . Reported adverse events of EUS‐FNA for PCL have included acute pancreatitis, hemorrhage, and pancreatic ascites . Although previous studies have evaluated the accuracy of EUS‐FNA in the diagnosis of pancreatic cyst lesions, post‐procedure adverse events are an important concern.…”
EUS-FNA is a safe procedure for diagnosis of PCL and is associated with a relatively low incidence of adverse events. Most adverse events were mild, self-limiting, and did not require medical intervention.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
