Su1712 Feasibility and Complications Rate of Needle-Based Confocal LASER Endomicroscopy (nCLE) in Pancreatic Cysts: Preliminary Results of a Multicentric Prospective Study.

Abstract

Needle-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (nCLE) is an imaging technique, which enables observation of the inner wall of pancreatic cysts, in vivo and in real-time, during an EUS-FNA procedure. An international multicentric study (INSPECT) on 66 patients reported a pancreatitis rate of 3%. The rate of technical issues was not mentionned. A prospective multicentric French study (CONTACT) aims at evaluating the accuracy of nCLE for the diagnosis of lonely pancreatic cysts.
