Rationale: Less invasive, nonsurgical approaches are needed to treat severe emphysema.Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Spiration Valve System (SVS) versus optimal medical management.Methods: In this multicenter, open-label, randomized, controlled trial, subjects aged 40 years or older with severe, heterogeneous emphysema were randomized 2:1 SVS management (treatment) alone (control).Measurements Main Results: The primary efficacy outcome was difference in mean FEV1...
Rationale: Data about the influence of type sedation on yield, complications, and tolerance endobronchial ultrasound–guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) are based mostly retrospective studies largely inconsistent.Objectives: To determine whether influences diagnostic yield EBUS-TBNA, its complication rates, patient tolerance.Methods: Patients referred for EBUS-TBNA were randomized (1:1) to undergo this procedure under general anesthesia (GA) or moderate (MS). Pathologists...
Background: Despite advances in bronchoscopy, its diagnostic yield for peripheral lung lesions continues to be suboptimal. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) could utilized corroborate the accuracy of our bronchoscopic navigation and hopefully increase yield. However, data on radiation exposure feasibility CBCT-guided bronchoscopy is scarce. Methods: Prospective pilot study nodules under general anesthesia with thin/ultrathin bronchoscope, radial-probe endobronchial ultrasound (RP-EBUS),...
Rationale: Data regarding the sensitivity of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) for staging lung cancer in patients with radiographic N0 disease is scant and inconsistent. With increasing use nonoperative ablative therapies, studies focusing on performance characteristics EBUS-TBNA this population are important.Objectives: To evaluate negative predictive value (NPV) non-small cell both by computed tomography (CT) positron emission (PET)-CT.Methods:...
Excisional biopsies are typically used to diagnose lymphoma, but data suggest that endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is equally effective. In this study, we determined whether EBUS-TBNA could accurately and subtype lymphoma.The cases of patients who had undergone for suspected lymphoma were retrospectively reviewed. results categorized as specific nonlymphoma diagnosis, granulomatous inflammation, or adequate inadequate lymphocytes with no...
Traditional bronchoscopy provides limited approach to peripheral nodules. Shape-sensing robotic-assisted (SSRAB, Ion™ Endoluminal System) is a new tool for minimally invasive nodule biopsy. We sought answer the research question: Does SSRAB facilitate sampling of pulmonary nodules during bronchoscopists' initial experience?The lead-in stage multicenter, single-arm, prospective evaluation Ion System (PRECIsE) described. Enrolled subjects ≥ 18 years old had recent computed tomography evidence...
Peripheral bronchoscopy with the use of thin/ultrathin bronchoscopes and radial-probe endobronchial ultrasound (RP-EBUS) has been associated a fair diagnostic yield. Mobile cone-beam CT (m-CBCT) could potentially improve performance these readily available technologies. We retrospectively reviewed records patients undergoing for peripheral lung lesions scope, RP-EBUS, m-CBCT guidance. studied (diagnostic yield sensitivity malignancy) safety (complications, radiation exposure) this combined...
The use and availability of diverse advanced X-ray based imaging guidance systems in the field interventional pulmonology are rapidly growing. This popularity links inextricably to an increase ionizing radiation use. Knowing is hazardous, knowledge competent important. globally implemented As Low Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) principle demands careful attention minimize exposure while achieving precise goals intervention therein. To allow targeted weighing risk against reward using...
ABSTRACT Background and objective Standard nodal staging of lung cancer consists positron emission tomography/computed tomography ( PET / CT ), followed by endobronchial ultrasound‐guided transbronchial needle aspiration EBUS‐TBNA ) if shows mediastinal lymphadenopathy. Sensitivity in patients with N0 N1 disease is unclear largely based on retrospective studies. We assessed the sensitivity this setting. Methods enrolled proven or suspected staged as without metastatic M0 who underwent ....
Background While therapeutic bronchoscopy has been used to treat malignant central (CAO) airway obstruction for >25 years, there are no studies quantifying the impact of on long-term quality-adjusted survival. Methods We conducted a prospective observational study consecutive patients undergoing CAO. Patients had follow-up at 1 week and monthly thereafter until death. Outcomes included technical success (ie, relief anatomic obstruction), dyspnoea, health-related quality life (HRQOL)...
Introduction Current guidelines recommend invasive mediastinal staging in patients with centrally located radiographic stage T1N0M0 nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The lack of a specific definition central tumour has resulted discrepancies among and heterogeneity practice patterns. Methods Our objective was to study definitions centrality their association occult nodal disease. Pre-operative chest computed tomography scans from clinical (c) NSCLC were processed dedicated software system...
