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…
