Diagnosis of Synchronous Primary Lung Cancers Using EBUS‐TBNA and BDBD‐Assisted Transbronchial Biopsy During a Single Bronchoscopic Procedure: A Case Report [PDF]
Histopathological confirmation is essential to determine the optimal treatment strategy for patients with multiple pulmonary lesions. We report a case of synchronous small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) diagnosed during ...

Transbronchial Access of Solitary Pulmonary Nodules Without Bronchus Sign Using a Novel Puncture Dilatation Catheter: Initial Feasibility Experience [PDF]
Radial endobronchial ultrasound (rEBUS) guided biopsy is highly effective for solitary pulmonary nodules exhibiting a bronchus sign. While ancillary techniques like cryobiopsy improve yields for lesions adjacent to the airway, nodules situated deeper ...

Rescue Diagnosis of Upper‐Lobar Station 12U Lymph Nodes Using the Thin Convex‐Probe EBUS Bronchoscope (BF‐UCP190F): A Report of Two Cases [PDF]
BF‐UCP190F (Olympus) is a newly developed thin convex‐probe endobronchial ultrasound (TCP‐EBUS) bronchoscope, improving access to distal bronchi. We report two cases in which TCP‐EBUS enabled successful endobronchial ultrasound‐guided transbronchial ...

Comparison of the Thin Convex Probe Endobronchial Ultrasound Bronchoscope to Standard Endobronchial Ultrasound and Flexible Bronchoscope—A Cadaveric Study [PDF]
Background: Convex probe endobronchial ultrasound (CP-EBUS) with transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) is used to sample mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes and is considered a gold standard for mediastinal staging of lung cancer.

Thin bronchoscope-parallel, endotracheal tube-guided stent deployment for cervical tracheoesophageal fistula after anti-cancer therapy: a case report and literature review [PDF]
BackgroundMalignant tracheoesophageal fistula (mTEF) is a life-threatening complication of esophageal and lung cancers, often presenting significant management challenges, especially in post-radiotherapy patients with anatomical airway distortion.

A Novel Dual‐Scope Method for Safe Endobronchial Ultrasound‐Guided Transbronchial Mediastinal Cryobiopsy [PDF]
Conventional endobronchial ultrasound‐guided transbronchial mediastinal cryobiopsy (EBUS‐TBMC) requires simultaneous withdrawal of the EBUS scope and cryoprobe to retrieve the specimen.

Novel Thin Bronchoscope With a 1.7-Mm Working Channel for Peripheral Pulmonary Lesions. [PDF]
In the present study, the authors evaluated the diagnostic utility of a novel thin bronchoscope with a 1.7-mm working channel for peripheral pulmonary lesions.A total of 118 patients were included in this prospective study. Bronchoscopic examination was performed using a 5.9-mm standard bronchoscope.

A case of malignant lymphoma with a peripheral pulmonary lesion diagnosed by endobronchial ultrasound-guided needle aspiration using a thin convex-probe endobronchial ultrasound bronchoscope [PDF]
Background: Performing biopsies of peripheral lesions adjacent to the bronchus is challenging. Conventionally, transbronchial needle aspiration of peripheral pulmonary nodules is performed using a radial echo probe; however, the diagnostic yield remains ...

Bronchoscopic View and Treatment of a Nine‐Year Slowly Enlarging Chronic Lung Abscess Mimicking Lung Cancer [PDF]
A 53‐year‐old male presented with a nine‐year slowly enlarging cystic nodule. Bronchoscopy visualised a protruding lesion, and a biopsy resulted in purulent drainage.
