Objective: X-ray guided transbronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial lung biopsy (EBUS-TBLB) can improve the diagnostic yield of peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs), but it needs special requirements. The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical value of virtual bronchoscopy navigation (VBN) combined with EBUS-TBLB in the diagnosis of PPLs without X-ray guidance. Methods: The 105 patients with PPLs underwent EBUS-TBLB with or without VBN randomly. The diagnostic yield, the operation time and complications were evaluated in the 2 groups. Results: No significant difference was found between the VBN+EBUS group and the EBUS group (76.0% vs. 65.5%, P = 0.287). The operation time of VBN+EBUS group was significantly shorter than that of EBUS group (20.6 ± 12.8 min vs. 28.6 ± 14.3 min, P = 0.023). No severe procedure related complications occurred. Conclusions: VBN can shorten the operation time. The combination of VBN and EBUS-TBLB is a safe and effective diagnosis technique for PPLs.

Background: Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial biopsy (EBUS-TBB) is used for the diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs), but the diagnostic yield is not adequate. Cone-beam computed tomography-derived augmented fluoroscopy (CBCT-AF) can be utilized to assess the location of PPLs and biopsy devices, and has the potential to improve the diagnostic accuracy of bronchoscopic techniques. The purpose of this study was to verify the contribution of CBCT-AF to EBUS-TBB. Methods: Patients who underwent EBUS-TBB for diagnosis of PPLs were enrolled. The navigation success rate and diagnostic yield were used to evaluate the effectiveness of CBCT-AF in EBUS-TBB. Results: In this study, 236 patients who underwent EBUS-TBB for PPL diagnosis were enrolled. One hundred fifteen patients were in CBCT-AF group and 121 were in non-AF group. The navigation success rate was significantly higher in the CBCT-AF group (96.5% vs. 86.8%, p = 0.006). The diagnostic yield was even better in the CBCT-AF group when the target lesion was small in size (68.8% vs. 0%, p = 0.026 for lesions ≤10 mm and 77.5% vs. 46.4%, p = 0.016 for lesions 10–20 mm, respectively). The diagnostic yield of the two study groups became similar when the procedures with a failure of navigation were excluded. The procedure-related complication rate was similar between the two study groups. Conclusion: CBCT-AF is safe, and effectively enhances the navigation success rate, thereby increasing the diagnostic yield of EBUS-TBB for PPLs.

IntroductionGuide sheaths (GSs) have been widely used during radial probe endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial biopsy (rEBUS-TBB) of peripheral pulmonary lesions. However, it remains unknown whether a GS enhances the diagnostic yield. We compared the diagnostic yields of small peripheral pulmonary lesions between rEBUS-TBB with and without a GS.MethodsIn eight institutions, patients with peripheral pulmonary lesions≤30 mm in diameter were enrolled and randomized to undergo rEBUS-TBB with a GS (GS group) or without a GS (non-GS group) using a 4.0-mm thin bronchoscope, virtual bronchoscopic navigation, and fluoroscopy. The primary endpoint was the diagnostic yield of the histology specimens.ResultsA total of 605 patients were enrolled; ultimately, data on 596 (300 in the GS group and 296 in the non-GS group) with peripheral pulmonary lesions having a longest median diameter of 19.6 mm were analyzed. The diagnostic yield of histological specimens from the GS group was significantly higher than that from the non-GS group (55.3% versus 46.6%, respectively; p=0.033). Interactions were evident between the diagnostic yields, procedures, lobar locations (upper lobe versus other regions, p=0.003), and lesion texture (solid versus part-solid nodules, p=0.072).ConclusionsThe diagnostic yield for small peripheral pulmonary lesions afforded by rEBUS-TBB using a GS was higher than that without a GS.

Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic value of radial endobronchial ultrasound (R-EBUS) combination with rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) guided transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) for peripheral pulmonary lesions. Methods: Peripheral pulmonary lesions identified by computed tomography underwent R-EBUS with or without ROSE randomly from February 2016 to August 2017. The diagnostic yield and the operation time were compared. Results: In total, 158 patients were involved in and completed this research, including 84 cases in the group of R-EBUS with ROSE, and 74 in the group without ROSE. The diagnostic yield of ROSE group was 85.7%. Among these positive cases, 69.4% cases were malignant tumors, and 30.6% cases were benign lesions. The operation time was (24.6 ± 6.3) min. In the group without ROSE, the diagnostic yield was 70.3%, including 35 malignant tumors (67.3%), and 17 benign lesions (32.7%). The operation time was (31.5 ± 6.8) min. There were significant differences between both groups in the diagnostic yield (χ2 = 5.556, P = 0.018) and in the operation time (t = 3.187, P < 0.01). No serious procedure related complications were observed, such as pneumothorax and hemorrhage. Conclusion: ROSE can improve the diagnostic yield, and shorten the operation time. R-EBUS combined with ROSE is a safe and effective technique for peripheral pulmonary lesions.
