BACKGROUND: Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and augmented fluoroscopy (AF), in which intraprocedural CBCT data is fused with fluoroscopy, have been utilized as a novel image-guidance technique for biopsy of peripheral pulmonary lesions. The aim of this clinical study is to determine the safety and diagnostic performance of CBCT-guided bronchoscopy with advanced software tools for procedural planning and navigational guidance with AF of the airways for biopsy of peripheral pulmonary nodules...

BACKGROUND: Image-guided thermal ablation is a minimally invasive local therapy for lung malignancies. NAVABLATE characterized the safety and performance of transbronchial microwave ablation (MWA) in the lung. METHODS: The prospective, single-arm, 2-center NAVABLATE study (NCT03569111) evaluated transbronchial MWA in patients with histologically confirmed lung malignancies ≤30 mm in maximum diameter who were not candidates for, or who declined, both surgery and stereotactic body radiation therapy...

BACKGROUND: The incidence of pneumothorax after bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (BLVR) using Zephyr (Pulmonx Corporation) endobronchial valves is ~26%. Many patients who develop a postprocedural pneumothorax require chest tube placement. If a persistent airleak is present, patients tolerating waterseal can be discharged home with a mini-atrium with a low risk of empyema. METHODS: Data were collected on patients from the Epic (Epic System Corporation) electronic medical record between July 2019 and November 2022...

BACKGROUND: Robotic-assisted navigation bronchoscopy (RANB) is a novel method to biopsy lung nodules, with initial reports demonstrating excellent accuracy. We aimed to evaluate pooled estimates of diagnostic yields and complication rates with RANB by performing a meta-analysis of the available literature. METHODS: We searched 3 databases, including PubMed, EmBase, and Web of Science. The resulting abstracts were reviewed by 2 investigators. Analyses were performed using random effects models, and diagnostic yield and complication rates were estimated after the Freeman-Tukey transformation...

BACKGROUND: Since their introduction, both linear and radial endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) have become an integral component of the practice of Pulmonology and Thoracic Oncology. The quality of health care can be measured by comparing the performance of an individual or a health service with an ideal threshold or benchmark. The taskforce sought to evaluate quality indicators in EBUS bronchoscopy based on clinical relevance/importance and on the basis that observed significant variation in outcomes indicates potential for improvement in health care outcomes...

BACKGROUND: A dedicated anesthesia protocol for bronchoscopic lung biopsy-lung navigation ventilation protocol (LNVP)-specifically designed to mitigate atelectasis and reduce unnecessary respiratory motion, has been recently described. LNVP demonstrated significantly reduced dependent ground glass, sublobar/lobar atelectasis, and atelectasis obscuring target lesions compared with conventional ventilation. METHODS: In this retrospective, single-center study, we examine the impact of LNVP on 100 consecutive patients during peripheral lung lesion biopsy...

BACKGROUND: Compared with the standard cryoprobe, the novel ultrathin 1.1 mm cryoprobe (UTCP) has improved ergonomics, shape memory, and flexibility. The performance of UTCP has demonstrated promising results in several small trials. METHODS: In this single-center, retrospective review, we examine 200 (N=200) consecutive patients referred for cone beam CT bronchoscopic biopsy of peripheral lung lesions. We utilized an extended multimodality approach, including transbronchial needle aspirate, brush, traditional forces biopsies, UTCP biopsies, and BAL...

INTRODUCTION: Intercostal nerve block (ICNB) has long been used in thoracic surgery. Local anesthetic thoracoscopy (LAT) is performed under conscious sedation with local anesthesia at the port insertion site. This alone, however, does not anesthetize the parietal pleura from where biopsies are taken and patients can experience pain. OBJECTIVES: To compare LAT with multilevel ICNB versus standard care to determine whether it reduces pain during and post-LAT, its effect on analgesia use, the hospital length of stay (LOS), and related complications...

BACKGROUND: Despite a growing number of tracheobronchial stent types and indications, complications remain frequent, and high-quality evidence on practices to prevent stent-related complications is lacking. Understanding current management practice is a first step to designing prospective studies to assess whether specific practices aimed at mitigating stent-related complications improve patient-centered outcomes. OBJECTIVES: In this study, we aimed to understand current management strategies following tracheobronchial stenting...

Over the past decade, endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) has become an indispensable tool in the diagnostic armamentarium of the pulmonologist. As the expertise with EBUS-TBNA has evolved and several innovations have occurred, the indications for its use have expanded. However, several aspects of EBUS-TBNA are still not standardized. Hence, evidence-based guidelines are needed to optimize the diagnostic yield and safety of EBUS-TBNA. For this purpose, a working group of experts from India was constituted...

BACKGROUND: Tracheobronchoplasty (TBP) is a definitive anatomic intervention for patients with severe symptomatic expiratory central airway collapse. Although stent evaluations have been described for surgical workup, current literature does not address if improvement during stent evaluation is sustained after TBP. We compared health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and functional status responses after airway stenting to those post-TBP. METHODS: A retrospective review was performed in patients with severe expiratory central airway collapse who underwent stent evaluation followed by TBP from January 2004 to December 2019...

BACKGROUND: Stent encrustation with debris and mucostasis is a significant cause of airway injury and comorbidity, leading to ~25% of stent exchanges (1-3). Previous work from our group has shown that the experimental coating can reduce mucous adhesion in bench testing and demonstrated a signal for reducing airway injury and mucostasis in a feasibility study. PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to continue our inquiry in a randomized, single-blinded multi-animal trial to investigate the degree of airway injury and mucostasis using silicone stents with and without this specialized coating...

BACKGROUND: Therapeutic options for managing laryngotracheal stenosis (LTS) are limited. Endoscopy is a minimally invasive approach to treating LTS, but carries a high risk of stenosis recurrence. Mitomycin C (MMC) is often used as an adjunct therapy to delay the time to symptomatic recurrence of LTS. This review synthesizes the current literature on the topic of MMC as an adjunct treatment strategy for LTS. METHODS: A focused literature search was carried out from PubMed on June 12, 2022 using the terms "mitomycin c AND stenosis" in all fields with no date limitations...
