Background: Thoracic vascular structures often preclude transbronchial access to central lung parenchymal lesions and lymph nodes, thereby necessitating either a surgical or transvascular needle aspiration (TVNA) approach for diagnostic sampling. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) TVNA in the diagnosis and staging of mediastinal tumors.
Patients And Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of 35 cases of EBUS-TVNA.
