C‐Arm Cone Beam <scp>CT</scp>‐Guided Preoperative Microcoil Pulmonary Ground Glass Nodule Localization: Diagnostic and Surgical Advantage
CBCT-guided microcoil localization, with partial placement of the coil in the extra-pleural space, proved to be a highly effective technique for the localization and resection of small pulmonary nodules. The procedure demonstrated high accuracy, minimal complications, reduction of procedural time, and short hospital stays. Intraoperative fluoroscopy was never necessary, with a high reduction in radiation exposure for the patient and the operator. Further studies with larger populations and longer follow-ups are needed to validate these findings.
