Intraoperative Transbronchial Metallic Coil Marking for Small Peripheral Pulmonary Lesions in a Hybrid Operation Room.

: Computed tomography (CT)-guided transbronchial metallic coil marking is useful for identifying the locations of small peripheral pulmonary lesions. Even deeply located lesions may be accurately identified and resected with adequate margins. This method is also applicable to multiple lesions.

Background: Peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs) are frequently identified and require diagnostic sampling. Diagnostic yield of radial endobronchial ultrasound (rEBUS) guided bronchoscopic biopsies is suboptimal, despite ultrasound confirmation of navigation success. Pairing ultrathin bronchoscopy and peripheral transbronchial needle aspiration (pTBNA) may improve yield.

Article Synopsis
  • Various bronchoscopic guidance techniques for diagnosing peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs) were compared, including standard CT navigation, virtual navigation, and electromagnetic navigation combined with ultrathin bronchoscopy.
  • A study involving 256 patients found no significant differences in the accuracy of these methods, but noted that Lungpro navigation had the shortest operation time and CT planning time.
  • CTNUTB emerged as the preferred method due to its lower cost and comparable safety, while ENUTB may be beneficial for accurately targeting smaller nodules under 2 cm.

Bronchial branch tracing navigation in ultrathin bronchoscopy-guided radial endobronchial ultrasound for peripheral pulmonary nodule.

Background: Most malignant peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs) are situated in the peripheral region of the lung. Although the ultrathin bronchoscope (UTB) can access these areas, a robust navigation system is essential for precise localisation of these small peripheral PPLs. Since many UTB procedures rely on automated virtual bronchoscopic navigation (VBN), this study aims to determine the accuracy and diagnostic yield of the manual bronchial branch tracing (BBT) navigation in UTB-guided radial endobronchial ultrasound (rEBUS) procedures.
