Diagnostic yield and the number of tumor cells of ultrathin bronchoscopy for peripheral lung lesions: A comparison with thin bronchoscopy. [PDF]
Ultrathin bronchoscopy has been reported to have a higher diagnostic yield than thin bronchoscopy for small peripheral lung lesions in transbronchial biopsy under radial endobronchial ultrasonography (EBUS).

Use of saline to evaluate a cavity due to Mycobacterium kansasii infection during ultrathin bronchoscopy and endobronchial ultrasonography [PDF]
A 28‐year‐old man had a cavitary lesion in the upper right lobe with a tree‐in‐bud appearance on chest computed tomography (CT). Diagnostic bronchoscopy was performed. An ultrathin bronchoscope in the right B2aiiβxyy reached the cavity.

Bronchial Physiological Saline Injection to Visualize Peripheral Pulmonary Lesions in Ultrathin Bronchoscopy [PDF]
Background: During bronchial lavage, the lumen can be viewed better by injecting physiological saline into the bronchus. This study aimed to investigate the effect of injecting physiological saline into the bronchus while directly observing the bronchial

Bronchial branch tracing navigation in ultrathin bronchoscopy-guided radial endobronchial ultrasound for peripheral pulmonary nodule [PDF]
Background Most malignant peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs) are situated in the peripheral region of the lung. Although the ultrathin bronchoscope (UTB) can access these areas, a robust navigation system is essential for precise localisation of these ...

Tumour Localisation With ICG‐Soaked Embolisation Coils Without Robotic Bronchoscopy: First German Experience [PDF]
Accurate localisation of small or non‐palpable pulmonary lesions is critical for successful minimally invasive resection. Indocyanine green (ICG)‐soaked embolisation coil placement is an emerging fluorescence‐guided marking method, typically applied to ...

Successful ultrathin bronchoscopy with cryobiopsy for diagnosing and removing mucus plugs in allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis mimicking lung cancer [PDF]
Key message In patients presenting with abnormal pulmonary nodules, especially those with a history of asthma, allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis should be considered. Eosinophil counts and IgE levels should be checked in such patients.

Advanced Bronchoscopic Approaches to Peripheral Pulmonary Lesions: a Narrative Review of Current and Emerging Techniques [PDF]
Peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs), defined by their location in the outer one-third of the lung, are expected to be identified with increasing frequency following the widespread adoption of lung cancer screening. The majority of PPLs will have a benign
