Comparative diagnostic performance and safety of radial endobronchial ultrasound versus its combination with electromagnetic or virtual bronchoscopic navigation for peripheral pulmonary lesions: a retrospective study
Comparable diagnostic performances were observed among R-EBUS, R-EBUS+ENB, and R-EBUS+VBN groups. Multimodal approaches significantly enhanced diagnostic accuracy in subtypes with lesions of small size, positive bronchial signs, or emphysematous lungs. These findings highlight the importance of tailored multimodal strategies to improve diagnostic yield and procedural safety in PPL evaluation.
