Congenital Bronchial Atresia Mimicking Pulmonary Sequestration in the Lower Lobe: A Case Report

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
Lower‐lobe congenital bronchial atresia may resemble pulmonary sequestration, particularly in the presence of recurrent infection and cavitary changes. Systematic evaluation of bronchial continuity and vascular supply using three‐dimensional CT was useful for accurate diagnosis and surgical decision‐making.

Is reprocessing after disuse a safety procedure for bronchoscopy?: A cross-sectional study in a teaching hospital in Rome

, 2012
A bacteriological assessment of flexible bronchoscopes that were stored after a reprocessing procedure was performed to determine whether reprocessing removes microbiological contamination and whether the instruments could be used safely after extended ...

Study Protocol of the Endobronchial VAlves for Pneumothorax to Reduce Admission Time (EVAPoRATe) Pilot Multicentre Randomised Clinical Trial

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
EVAPoRATe is a pilot feasibility multi‐centre randomised trial in patients with pneumothorax and persistent air leak. The trial compares early referral for endobronchial valve placement with standard care to determine feasibility and inform the design and power calculation of a future full‐scale RCT. ABSTRACT Background Pneumothorax with persistent air

Gradually Enlarging Nodular Pulmonary Amyloidosis Associated With Sjögren's Syndrome

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
A woman with Sjögren's syndrome presented with progressively enlarging pulmonary nodules showing calcification and cystic changes, mimicking metastatic malignancy. Histological examination confirmed AL λ‐type nodular pulmonary amyloidosis. Recognition of this radiological pattern is important to avoid misdiagnosis and unnecessary invasive interventions.

Diagnosis of Synchronous Primary Lung Cancers Using EBUS‐TBNA and BDBD‐Assisted Transbronchial Biopsy During a Single Bronchoscopic Procedure: A Case Report

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
A 70‐year‐old man with mediastinal lymphadenopathy and a right upper lobe nodule underwent simultaneous bronchoscopic evaluation using EBUS‐TBNA and balloon dilation for bronchoscope delivery (BDBD). EBUS‐TBNA confirmed small cell lung cancer in the mediastinal nodes, whereas BDBD enabled additional peripheral advancement of the thin bronchoscope from ...

Computational Fluid Dynamics as an Adjunctive Functional Assessment of Airway Narrowing After Pulmonary Artery Banding: A Case Report

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
An infant developed respiratory instability after pulmonary artery banding despite only mild‐to‐moderate tracheobronchial narrowing on computed tomography and bronchoscopy. Patient‐specific computational fluid dynamics revealed markedly elevated airway resistance (15 Pa/mL/s) and severe airflow asymmetry, with only 0.04% of the simulated inspiratory ...
