Endosonography for mediastinal disease: esophageal ultrasound vs. endobronchial ultrasound
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS One can approach mediastinal pathology via esophageal ultrasound (EUS) and/or endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS). It has been suggested that EUS is better tolerated by patients. If so, EUS might be the procedure of choice when suspect lesions are accessible via EUS. We studied procedural characteristics of EUS with fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) and EBUS with transbronc...
متن کاملEndobronchial ultrasound elastography strain ratio for mediastinal lymph node diagnosis
BACKGROUND Ultrasound elastography is an imaging procedure that can assess the biomechanical characteristics of different tissues. The aim of this study was to define the diagnostic value of the endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) elastography strain ratio of mediastinal lymph nodes in patients with a suspicion of lung cancer. The diagnostic values of the strain ratios were compared with the EBUS b...
متن کاملEndobronchial Ultrasound Elastography for Diagnosing Mediastinal and Hilar Lymph Nodes
BACKGROUND Pathophysiological processes, such as malignancy, can lead to the formation of stiffer tissue in lung cancers. Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) elastography is a novel technique for measuring tissue stiffness during EBUS-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA). The current study was conducted to investigate the diagnostic value of EBUS elastography for mediastinal and hila...
متن کاملConventional vs. endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration in the diagnosis of mediastinal lymphadenopathies.
The aim of this study was to determine whether or not radial probe endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS)-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) is superior to conventional TBNA in the diagnosis of mediastinal lymphadenopathies in routine clinical practice. Consecutive patients, who were referred for TBNA, were randomized to conventional TBNA and EBUS-guided TBNA groups. Patients were also gro...
متن کاملEndobronchial Ultrasound-Guided Biopsy of Mediastinal and Hilar Lymph Nodes
The article by Wang Memoli et al 1 in an issue of CHEST (December 2011) on the use of endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) to predict lymph node metastasis due to lung cancer was well presented and helpful for the interpretation and diagnosis of metastatic carcinoma. The authors discussed the widely accepted criteria suggestive of metastatic malignancy, including a positive PET scan and a short-axis...
