Purpose The diagnostic yield of transbronchial biopsy (TBB) using radial probe
endobronchial ultrasound (RP-EBUS) is 71%, which is lower than that of transthoracic …

Background Various advanced bronchoscopy methods have been developed to reach
peripheral lung lesions (PLL). In a large cohort, we aimed to assess a standardized …

Options for non-surgical tissue diagnosis of the peripheral nodule include CT scan-guided
TTNA, fluoroscopy-guided bronchoscopy, radial endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) …

Introduction Pulmonary endoscopy occupies a central role in Interventional Pulmonology
and is frequently the mainstay of diagnosis of respiratory disease, in particular lung …

Background Generally, structural destruction of lung parenchyma, such as pulmonary
emphysema, is considered to be related to the low diagnostic yields and high complication …

Simple Summary The morphological diagnosis of peripheral lung lesions is challenging due
to the anatomical location of these lesions and to the biopsy techniques that are currently …

Background Infectious complications after endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial
biopsy with a guide sheath (EBUS-GS-TBB) are serious in that they may delay or change …

Echobronchoscope-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is mainly used
as the transbronchial approach to hilar/mediastinal lymph nodes or lesions, for diagnostic or …

Background: Radial probe endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial lung biopsy (RP-
EBUS-TBLB) is widely used for diagnosis of peripheral lung lesions (PLLs). To date, there …

Bronchoscopy has a lower diagnostic yield for peripheral lung lesions (PLL). Endobronchial
ultrasound guide sheath transbronchial lung biopsy (EBUS GS TBLB) has been used to …
