CT-Guided Ultrathin Bronchoscopy: Bioptic Approach and Factors in Predicting Diagnosis

open access: yesInternal Medicine, 2011
The diagnostic sensitivity of current bronchoscopy for peripheral lung cancer is inadequate because the bronchoscope insertion range is limited and confirmation of the position of the biopsy apparatus at the lesion under X-ray fluoroscopy is inaccurate.

Comparison of Ultrathin Bronchoscopy With Conventional Bronchoscopy for the Diagnosis of Peripheral Lung Lesions Without Virtual Bronchial Navigation

Respiratory Investigation, 2020
For the precise management of advanced lung cancers, bronchoscopy with a high diagnostic yield and abundant tumor specimens are required. In recent years, new devices and techniques have been rapidly developed, including the endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) using a guide sheath, virtual bronchoscopic navigation (VBN), and ultra-thin bronchoscope (UTB ...

Transbronchial Needle Aspiration With Endobronchial Ultrasonography and Ultrathin Bronchoscopy for Peripheral Pulmonary Lesions

Respiratory Investigation, 2021
Although the efficacy of lung cancer treatment has improved, it is dependent on a reliable diagnosis via bronchoscopy. Transbronchial biopsy using ultrathin bronchoscopy can help detect small peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs), with a high diagnostic yield. However, the diagnosis rate using forceps biopsy when the radial endobronchial ultrasonography (

Experience With Image-Guided Ultrathin Bronchoscopy

available MDCT scans. The chest scans, generated by either a Siemens Sensation or Emotion scanner, were reconstructed at a resolution of 0.5 mm spacing with 0.75-mmthick two-dimensional axial-plane sections; axial-plane resolution was between 0.52 mm and 0.92 mm. We used the VNS for off-line procedure-planning and live imagebased guidance for ultrathin

The ThinICE protocol: the combination of cryobiopsy and ultraThin bronchoscopy for the peripheral lung nodule.

Interventional pulmonology, 2023
Introduction: Given the current challenges in sampling in not directly visibile lesions (eg, sample size and quality) we propose an alternative to standard practice: a novel technique using the “ultrathin” 3mm bronchoscope with the 1.1mm cryoprobe as sampling tool.

Virtual Bronchoscopic Navigation Combined With Ultrathin Bronchoscopy. A Randomized Clinical Trial

American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2013
Abstract Rationale In bronchoscopy, an ultrathin bronchoscope can be advanced to more peripheral bronchi. Because virtual bronchoscopic navigation (VBN) is a method to guide a bronchoscope under direct observation using VB images, VBN may be particularly useful when combined with ultrathin ...

Ultrathin Bronchoscopy as an Adjunct to Standard Bronchoscopy in the Diagnosis of Peripheral Lung Lesions

Respiration, 2002
<i>Background:</i> The role of the standard bronchoscope as a method of diagnosis of peripheral lung lesions is limited. <i>Objectives:</i> To evaluate the role of the ultrathin bronchoscope as an adjunct to standard bronchoscopy in the diagnosis of peripheral lung lesions.

Ultrathin Bronchoscopy Versus Conventional Bronchoscopy in the Diagnosis of Peripheral Pulmonary Lesions: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

open access: yesExpert Review of Respiratory Medicine
Ultrathin bronchoscopy (UTB) is commonly used to diagnose peripheral pulmonary lesions due to its small diameter. However, there is no consensus on its comparison with conventional bronchoscopy (CB) combined with various guiding modalities. A comprehensive literature search was performed to identify studies comparing UTB and CB, extracting data on ...

Ultrathin Bronchoscopy in the Diagnosis of Peripheral Cavitary Lung Lesions

Journal of Bronchology & Interventional Pulmonology, 2013
Ultrathin (UT) bronchoscopy has emerged as a useful tool to diagnose peripheral solid lung lesions of a malignant nature. This technology is superior to standard bronchoscopic techniques, which have low yield in identifying small lesions, especially as they extend further out along the bronchial tree. UT bronchoscopy can prevent the need to pursue more

Ultrathin Bronchoscopy: Indications and Technique

2017
Standard flexible bronchoscopes may enter up to third- to fifth-generation bronchi and allow visualization of one to two further generations in adult patient airways, while the category of “ultrathin bronchoscope” can reach small peripheral airways up to 9th to 12th generation.
