The Feasibility of Using the “Artery Sign” for Pre-Procedural Planning in Navigational Bronchoscopy for Parenchymal Pulmonary Lesion Sampling [PDF]
Background: Electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB) and robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (RAB) systems are used for pulmonary lesion sampling, and utilize a pre-procedural CT scan where an airway, or “bronchus sign”, is used to map a pathway to the ...

Robotic navigational bronchoscopy in a thoracic surgery practice: Leveraging technology in the management of pulmonary nodulesCentral MessagePerspective [PDF]
Objectives: Robotic navigational bronchoscopy is increasingly used to improve diagnostic yield for pulmonary nodules compared with the 50% to 60% obtained by standard bronchoscopy; however, safety and efficacy data are limited to small series. The aim of

Navigational Bronchoscopy with Cryobiopsy for Diagnosis of ILD [PDF]
Background. Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) are a group of parenchymal pulmonary diseases in which pathologic diagnosis is essential. Although cryobiopsy has a high diagnostic yield, the complication rate remains high. Case Presentation.

Longitudinal use of three different navigational bronchoscopy systems to sample lung nodules in a single patient [PDF]
Bronchoscopic techniques to sample suspicious lung nodules have progressed from traditional bronchoscopy to guided navigational bronchoscopy systems. Here we present the case of a patient who underwent navigational bronchoscopies using three different ...

Advancements in navigational bronchoscopy for peripheral pulmonary lesions: A review with special focus on virtual bronchoscopic navigation [PDF]
Lung cancer is often diagnosed at an advanced stage and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Low-dose computed tomography for lung cancer screening has increased the incidence of peripheral pulmonary lesions.

When Pulmonologists Are Novice to Navigational Bronchoscopy, What Predicts Diagnostic Yield? [PDF]
Predicting factors of diagnostic yield in electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB) have been explored in a number of previous studies based on data from experienced operators.

Cost-Effectiveness of Rapid On-Site Evaluation During Navigational BronchoscopyTake-home Points [PDF]
Background: Peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs) are common, with > 1.6 million PPLs incidentally identified in the United States annually. Navigational bronchoscopy (NB) is a cornerstone of the diagnostic evaluation of PPLs. Intraprocedural rapid on-site

Diagnostic yield of electromagnetic navigational bronchoscopy [PDF]
Objectives: Peripheral lung nodules (PLNs) are a common and diagnostically challenging finding. Electronavigational bronchoscopy (ENB) is used to increase the diagnostic yield and is considered safe.

Electromagnetic navigational bronchoscopy‐guided dye marking to identify the subsegmental bronchus in thoracoscopic anatomic subsegmentectomy [PDF]
Video‐assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) subsegmentectomy has been widely used to resect small‐sized lung lesions in clinical practice. Precise identification of the subsegmental bronchus is one of the essential steps in performing thoracoscopic ...

Navigational Bronchoscopy vs CT Scan-Guided Transthoracic Needle Biopsy for the Diagnosis of Indeterminate Lung NodulesTake-home Points [PDF]
Background: Lung nodule incidence is increasing. Many nodules require biopsy to discriminate between benign and malignant causes. The gold standard for minimally invasive biopsy, CT scan-guided transthoracic needle biopsy (CT-TTNB), has not been compared
