Major Complications Associated with Conventional Transbronchial Needle Aspiration

Objectives: Transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) is a widely used sampling technique for diagnosis and staging of lesions centered around bronchoscopically accessible airways. We report our single-institution experience of complications associated with conventional TBNA (C-TBNA) performed in 606 consecutive cases. Methods: Electronic medical records with bronchoscopy log data of C-TBNAs performed…

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…
