Proof of concept: Shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy performed under moderate sedation
We describe a first reported case of shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy using ION-intuitive platform done successfully under moderate sedation. A 76-year-old woman was found to have a right upper lobe mass measuring 3 × 2.9 cm.
