Advantages of electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy in localizing pulmonary nodules challenging to traditional hook-wire localization: a comparative study on precision localization dilemmas
For pulmonary nodules in locations where hook-wire placement is technically challenging, both ENB-guided and CT-guided localization techniques can effectively identify the targets. The ENB approach demonstrates superior success rates, fewer complications and lower adverse event rates, suggesting that for such challenging nodules, ENB represents a promising, safe, and feasible localization method.
