Recurrent breast cancer and endobronchial ultrasound-transbronchial needle aspiration
A 67 years old female with previous breast cancer and a 40-pack year smoking history presented with recurrent lower respiratory tract infections on a background of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Despite a normal chest X-ray, the history of recurrent infections led to a high resolution computed tomography scan to exclude structural lung disease. This showed subcarinal lymphadenopathy, mu...
متن کامل[Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration].
In the last years, several techniques have been developed to obtain a prompt diagnosis or rule out lung cancer. Endobronchial ultrasound- guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is a minimally invasive procedure with a high diagnostic yield for mediastinal and central pulmonary lesions. This procedure is especially useful for lung cancer diagnosis and mediastinal staging. Two differ...
متن کاملEndobronchial Ultrasound-Guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration
In a recent issue of CHEST (January 2011), Gounant et al 1 showed that dedicated linear echoendoscope endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) needles are able to release metal particles, probably by friction between the stylet and the needle, with a potential risk of injecting particles into nodes. After reading this article, we are a bit confused for severa...
متن کاملVirtual endobronchial ultrasound for transbronchial needle aspiration.
OBJECTIVE Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration could be performed better with computer-based preparation. METHODS Three-dimensional virtual bronchoscopy was used to develop 2 modes of computer-based "virtual endobronchial ultrasound." "Virtual endobronchial ultrasound standard" used conventional virtual bronchoscopy to determine the spot and angle for transbronchia...
متن کاملMediastinitis and pericarditis after endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration
A 73-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for further investigation of multiple lung nodules and lymphadenopathy that were observed on chest radiography. Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) was performed to sample the lower paratracheal lymph node (4R), leading to a definitive diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma of the lung. About 2 weeks after EBU...
