However, occasional adverse events, particularly bleeding, may occur. Procedures for hypervascular lesions are considered important, but their risks are unknown. We aimed to evaluate the safety and diagnostic yield of EUS-FNB for hypervascular pancreatic solid lesions. This study included 301 patients with 308 solid pancreatic lesions who underwent EUS-FNB between May 2011 and December 2018. We performed propensity-score matching to balance clinical differences between hypervascular and hypovascular lesions and analyzed 52 lesions. We compared the safety and diagnostic performance of propensity score-matched cohorts. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy rates of EUS-FNB for hypervascular lesions were 94.7%, 100%, and 96.2%, and those for hypovascular lesions were 80.0%, 100%, and 84.6%, respectively. There was no difference in diagnostic performance between hypervascular and hypovascular lesions. Furthermore, adverse events occurred in only one patient (pancreatitis) in the hypovascular group. There were no significant differences in the occurrence of adverse events between hypervascular and hypovascular lesions (0% vs. 3.8%, p = 1.000). Therefore, EUS-FNB may be safe with a high diagnostic yield, even for hypervascular solid pancreatic lesions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm12206663","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,21]],"date-time":"2023-10-21T12:59:48Z","timestamp":1697893188000},"page":"6663","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Safety and Diagnostic Yield of Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Fine-Needle Biopsy for Hypervascular Pancreatic Lesions"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2220-9916","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wataru","family":"Hamamoto","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterology and Nephrology, Faculty of Medicine, Tottori University, Nishi-cho 36-1, Yonago 683-8504, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0310-0720","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Takumi","family":"Onoyama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterology and Nephrology, Faculty of Medicine, Tottori University, Nishi-cho 36-1, Yonago 683-8504, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shiho","family":"Kawahara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterology and Nephrology, Faculty of Medicine, Tottori University, Nishi-cho 36-1, Yonago 683-8504, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9682-6410","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yuri","family":"Sakamoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterology and Nephrology, Faculty of Medicine, Tottori University, Nishi-cho 36-1, Yonago 683-8504, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4000-6899","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hiroki","family":"Koda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterology and Nephrology, Faculty of Medicine, Tottori University, Nishi-cho 36-1, Yonago 683-8504, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Taro","family":"Yamashita","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterology and Nephrology, Faculty of Medicine, Tottori University, Nishi-cho 36-1, Yonago 683-8504, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1096-5909","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yohei","family":"Takeda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterology and Nephrology, Faculty of Medicine, Tottori University, Nishi-cho 36-1, Yonago 683-8504, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5680-4791","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kazuya","family":"Matsumoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterology and Nephrology, Faculty of Medicine, Tottori University, Nishi-cho 36-1, Yonago 683-8504, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kenichi","family":"Harada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterology and Nephrology, Faculty of Medicine, Tottori University, Nishi-cho 36-1, Yonago 683-8504, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Naoyuki","family":"Yamaguchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Nagasaki University Graduate School of Biological Sciences, 1-7-1 Sakamoto, Nagasaki 852-8501, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hajime","family":"Isomoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastroenterology and Nephrology, Faculty of Medicine, Tottori University, Nishi-cho 36-1, Yonago 683-8504, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"172","DOI":"10.1016\/S0016-5107(92)70385-X","article-title":"Endoscopic ultrasonography with guided fine needle aspiration biopsy in pancreatic disease","volume":"38","author":"Vilmann","year":"1992","journal-title":"Gastrointest.
