METHODS Between 2000 and 2009, 36 patients with primary lung tumors ...

Computed Tomography-Guided Bronchoscopy With an Ultrathin Fiberscope

Bronchoscopy was performed under computed tomography (CT) guidance using an ultrathin fiberscope in a patient with a fluoroscopically invisible lesion that was visualized by CT in the right S(8) and with poor pulmonary function. Under local anesthesia, the ultrathin fiberscope (3 mm in diameter) was inserted close to the lesion (1.5 mm in diameter) under direct visual guidance, and a brush was ...

CONGENITAL BRONCHO-ESOPHAGEAL FISTULA: A CASE REPORT
