Diagnostic Yield of Endobronchial Ultrasound–Guided Mediastinal Lymph Node Transbronchial Forceps Biopsies (EBUS-TBFB)

Objective: The diagnostic accuracy and yield of endobronchial ultrasound–guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is not well established in lymphoma and other mediastinal-related diseases. The objective of this study was to examine the yield of a combined technique of EBUS-TBNA and endobronchial ultrasound–guided transbronchial forceps biopsies (EBUS-TBFB) compared with each modality…

Conventional and Endobronchial Ultrasound-Guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration: Complementary Procedures

Objective: The diagnosis of mediastinal and hilar lymphadenopathy and staging lung cancer with endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) are on the rise. Most reports have demonstrated high yields with EBUS-TBNA and superiority of this procedure over conventional TBNA (cTBNA), but the relative roles of these procedures remain undefined. We…

Endobronchial Ultrasound Transbronchial Needle Aspiration in Mediastinal and Hilar Lymphadenopathies

Objectives: Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS)-transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) is a relatively noninvasive technique that allows sampling of mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes or masses under real-time and direct visualization, overcoming some of the problems associated with mediastinoscopy and blind TBNA. The goal of this study was to evaluate the yield of…

Endobronchial Ultrasound in the Evaluation of Lung Cancer: A Practical Review and Cost Analysis for the Practicing Pulmonologist

Flexible bronchoscopy remains an important tool in the staging, diagnosis, and treatment of primary and metastatic lung malignancies. Endobronchial ultrasound is a new technology utilized with bronchoscopy that has been shown to identify bronchial wall invasion by malignant tumors, aid in the fine needle aspiration of peripheral lung lesions and…
