Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  19 G Flex Needle  Fine Needle Aspiration of PCL with a 19 G Flex needle. If unsuccessful, a salvage procedure will be done with 19 G or 22 G needle. 
Intervention  19 G Needle  Fine Needle Aspiration of PCL with a 19 G needle. If unsuccessful, a salvage procedure will be done with 19 G Flex needle. 
Intervention  22 G Needle  Fine Needle Aspiration of PCL with a 22 G needle. If unsuccessful, a salvage procedure will be done with 19 G Flex needle.

Age 18 years of age or older.
Willing and able to comply with the study procedures and provide written informed consent form to participate in the study. 
 
ExclusionCriteria 
Details  Cysts in which FNA is not indicated based on review by the clinician, including potential concern of blood vessel location relative to cyst.

Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Volume of aspirated cyst fluid as a function of estimated maximal volume based on pre-aspiration EUS measure of cyst diameter (s) (% aspiration of total estimated volume)  At Procedure (Up to 1 hour) 
 
Secondary Outcome
Modification(s)  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Occurrence, severity and relatedness of adverse events to the needle and procedure.  30 days 
Extent of cyst aspiration as measured by reduction of maximal cyst diameter before and after FNA (converted to volume by standard geometric formulation).  Procedure (Up to 1 hour) 
Successful echoendoscopic fine needle aspiration of PCL, defined as complete cyst aspiration or collection of aspirate adequate to perform two standard assays: cytology and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA)  At procedure 
Ability to reach and penetrate the PCL, stratified by route of access and PCL location.  Procedure (Up to 1 hour) 
Number of EUS-FNA needles and EUS-FNA needle passes used.  Procedure (Up to 1 hour) 
Time needed for aspiration for each pass and time from first needle pass in to last needle pass out.  Procedure (Up to 1 hour) 
Ease of needle passage in and out of echoendoscope and quality of needle visualization inside the cyst, categorized as Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, and Poor  Procedure (Up to 1 hour) 
Accuracy of two EUS-FNA-based standard assays (cytology and CEA) as a diagnostic measure of disease state categorized as one of the following: serous cyst, mucinous cyst, intra papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN), or pseudocyst.  30 days 
Post EUS-FNA patient management plan (clinical and/or imaging surveillance, percutaneous aspiration, surgical removal).  30 days 
Impact of EUS-FNA based assays on diagnosis to determine type of cyst  Procedure - 30 days after procedure 
Rate of cross-over to salvage arm  Procedure (Immediate)

Brief Summary  

To document impact of EUS-FNA needle gauge and flexibility on effectiveness of pancreatic cystic lesions (PCL) aspiration, on ability to obtain sufficient material for standard diagnostic testing, and on diagnostic accuracy of EUS-FNA aspirate for differentiation of mucinous (pre-malignant) and non-mucinous cysts.

The hypothesis is that the EUS-FNA 19 G Flex needle will be superior to the EUS-FNA 22 G standard and 19 G standard needles for successful EUS-FNA procedures to assess PCLs.
