Can intraoperative improvement of radial endobronchial ultrasound imaging enhance the diagnostic yield in peripheral pulmonary lesions?
Improved R-EBUS findings during TBNA/TBB or TBB with EBUS-GS were associated with a high diagnostic yield without an increase in complications, even when the initial R-EBUS findings were inadequate. This suggests that repeated intraoperative probe repositioning can safely boost outcomes.
