Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with frequent complications after transthoracic biopsy. Radial probe endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial lung biopsy (RP-EBUS-TBLB) is widely used to diagnose peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs). However, the efficacy and safety of this procedure for the diagnosis of PPLs in patients with COPD remain poorly understood.

Background: Lung cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors at present. This study aimed to compare the diagnostic accuracy, complication rates, and predictive values of computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous transthoracic needle biopsy (PTNB) and electronic bronchoscopy-guided transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) for patients with central pulmonary lesions (CPLs) with a diameter ≥ 3 cm.
Methods: We retrospectively included 110 patients with CPLs with a diameter ≥ 3 cm who underwent preoperative PTNB and TBLB examinations and ultimately underwent surgery to remove CPLs and obtained pathological results.
Improving diagnostic strategies in bronchoscopy for peripheral pulmonary lesions.

Department of Endoscopy, Respiratory Endoscopy Division, National Cancer Center Hospital, Chuo-ku, Tokyo, Japan.
Introduction: In the past two decades, bronchoscopy of peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs) has improved its diagnostic yield due to the combination of various instruments and devices. Meanwhile, the application is complex and intertwined.
Areas Covered: This review article outlines strategies in diagnostic bronchoscopy for PPLs.

Clinicians face significant diagnostic challenges when dealing with nodal lesions of the lung. The majority of lung nodules are benign; however, a significant number can be cancerous. Dirofilaria infestation should also be considered in the differential diagnosis of nodal lung lesions.

Purpose: To evaluate the performance of a prototype flexible transbronchial cryoprobe compared with that of percutaneous transthoracic cryoablation and to define cone-beam computed tomography (CT) imaging and pathology cryolesion features in an in vivo swine model.
Materials And Methods: Transbronchial cryoablation was performed with a prototype flexible cryoprobe (3 central and 3 peripheral lung ablations in 3 swine) and compared with transthoracic cryoablation performed with a commercially available rigid cryoprobe (2 peripheral lung ablations in 1 swine). Procedural time and cryoablation success rates for endobronchial navigation and cryoneedle deployment were measured.
