Endobronchial Ultrasound-Guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration (EBUS-TBNA)
Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is an outpatient minimally invasive procedure which is increasingly used, over the last decade, as a technique to visualise and sample structures within and adjacent to the airways and the mediastinum. It is an evolving technique with many applications and is most widely used in staging and diagnosis of lung cancer and...
متن کاملComparison of conventional and ultrasound-guided needle biopsy techniques in the diagnosis of sarcoidosis: a randomized trial.
INTRODUCTION Endoscopic biopsy techniques are useful in the diagnosis of sarcoidosis. There is a need for randomized trials to establish where these procedures fit in the diagnosis of sarcoidosis. OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to compare the diagnostic yield of conventional transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) with endobronchial ultrasound-guided TBNA (EBUS-TBNA) and endoscopic ultra...
متن کاملAn Algorithmic Approach for Assessment of Mediastinal Lesions Using Conventional Transbronchial Needle Aspiration and Endoscopic Ultrasonography in a Single Procedure
BACKGROUND In the era of endobronchial/esophageal ultrasound (EBUS-TBNA/EUS-FNA), many centers forgo conventional transbronchial needle aspiration (C-TBNA) in favour of EBUS-TBNA/EUS-FNA despite no conclusive evidence showing better yields with EBUS-TBNA/EUS-FNA. OBJECTIVES Assess the feasibility of an algorithmic approach for mediastinal sampling beginning with C-TBNA utilizing rapid onsite ...
متن کاملEndobronchial and endoscopic ultrasound-guided real-time fine-needle aspiration for mediastinal staging.
Accurate staging of the mediastinum in lung cancer is essential for optimising treatment strategies. Conventional transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) is a blind procedure, reliant upon prior computed tomography (CT) or ultrasound imaging, but has low sensitivity. The current study reports the initial experience of using a prototype endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) probe that allows TBNA unde...
متن کاملTechnical Aspects of Endobronchial Ultrasound-Guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration
Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is becoming a standard method for invasive mediastinal staging and for the diagnosis of paratracheal and peribronchial lesions. It is essential to understand the technical aspects of EBUS-TBNA to ensure safe and efficient procedures. In this review, we discuss the practical aspects to be considered during EBUS-TBNA, in...
