Diagnostic yield, diagnostic accuracy and procedural complications were evaluated. <\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results\u2002Sixteen patients were included in this study, 10 men and 6 women, median age 67.8 (range 43 to 76 years). Five patients were found to have a SEL localized in the distal duodenum, five in the gastric antrum, two in the gastric fundus and four in the gastric body. The mean size of the lesions was 20.5\u200amm (range 18\u200a\u2013\u200a24\u200amm). EUS-FNB with 25G-PC enabled final diagnosis in nine patients (56.2\u200a%). Regarding the subgroup of duodenal lesions, the procedure was successful in four of five (80\u200a%). Final diagnoses with EUS-guided sampling were GIST (n\u200a=\u200a6), leiomyoma (n\u200a=\u200a2) and metastatic ovarian carcinoma (n\u200a=\u200a1). No procedure-related complications were recorded. <\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion\u2002In patients with small GI-SELs, additional tissue obtained with 25G-PC could represents a \u201crescue\u201d strategy after an unsuccessful procedure with larger-bore needles, especially when lesions are localized in the distal duodenum.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-0603-3578","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,7,4]],"date-time":"2018-07-04T18:52:17Z","timestamp":1530730337000},"page":"E892-E897","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["EUS-guided sampling with 25G biopsy needle as a rescue strategy for diagnosis of small subepithelial lesions of the upper gastrointestinal tract"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"06","author":[{"given":"Filippo","family":"Antonini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterology, A.
