Does the guide sheath outperform the non-guide sheath method in endobronchial ultrasound-guided biopsy of peripheral pulmonary lesions?—a meta-analysis
EBUS-GS and EBUS-nGS showed no significant difference in the overall diagnostic rate for PPLs. When using a bronchoscope with an outer diameter of 3.0 mm or a channel diameter of 1.7 mm, or when lesions are ≤30 mm or located in the lower lobe of the lung, EBUS-nGS demonstrated a higher diagnostic rate, and EBUS-nGS demonstrated a higher diagnostic rate. However, EBUS-GS exhibited more tremendous advantages in terms of safety.
