Number of passes performed with the Moray forceps

Author, year	Study methods on number of passes/cyst
Basar, 2018	If the biopsy specimen seemed insufficient in size for histology, additional passes were made
Barresi, 2018	The number of passes performed with the biopsy forceps was at the discretion of each endosonographer 1 biopsy-3 (5.3%), 2-7 (12.5%), 3-32 (57.1%), 4-11 (19.6%), 5-3 (5.3%)
Zhang, 2018	More than one biopsy was obtained if initial biopsies appeared inadequate macroscopically
Mittal, 2018	3-4 passes were made with microforceps (or until 3-4 visible tissue fragments were obtained)
Kovacevic, 2018	Median of 3 biopsies per patient (interquartile range 2-4)
Hrad, 2018	Not mentioned
Yang, 2018 (retrospective)	Median number of passes of one (range 1-2). Two to three “bites” of microforceps biopsy specimens were obtained under EUS-guidance with each pass of the microforceps
Yang, 2019 (prospective)	Two to 3 bites were obtained from the cyst wall, septations, nodules, or adjacent solid components with each pass of the microforceps
Crino, 2019	In the absence of intracystic bleeding, the procedure was repeated until 3 visible specimens were obtained
