Transbronchial Needle Aspiration via Ultrathin Bronchoscope Improves Diagnostic Yield for Peripheral Lung Lesions
Adding pTBNA to conventional sampling through an ultrathin bronchoscope guided by rEBUS, improved diagnostic yield (11.9% additional diagnoses). The sampling sequence did not affect the yield of pTBNA.
