Left adrenal biopsy using the convex curvilinear ultrasound scope.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Effective use of the convex curvilinear ultrasound bronchoscope in the esophagus (EUS-B) is well described. EUS-B has not been described for diagnostic sampling of the left adrenal gland. We describe 6 cases of diagnostic fine-needle aspiration of the left adrenal gland using EUS-B. This capacity increases the diagnostic capabilities of the pulmonologist experienced in EUS-B.

A novel technique of needle setting for curvilinear endobronchial ultrasound: Improved efficiency with no cost
BACKGROUND Standard instructions for biopsy using the convex curvilinear endobronchial ultrasound scope include visualization and adjustment of the sheath housing the biopsy needle before every puncture. In our practice, we pre-set this relationship before inserting the endobronchial ultrasound scope and leave it fixed for every puncture. OBJECTIVE We postulated that this approach is more eff...

BACKGROUND In lung cancer patients, the adrenal glands are predilection sites for distant metastases. Esophageal endoscopic ultrasound - fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) is a minimally invasive and accurate method for left adrenal gland (LAG) analysis but requires a conventional gastrointestinal echoendoscope. Complete endobronchial and esophageal mediastinal nodal staging can be achieved by ju...
