Comparison of Diagnostic Yield and Performance of Franseen Tip Needle Versus Non-Franseen Tip Needle in Patients Undergoing Endobronchial Ultrasound‑Guided Transbronchial Needle Sampling for Undiagnosed Mediastinal Lymphadenopathy
Franseen tipped FNB needles offer a superior diagnostic yield compared with non-Franseen needles in benign diseases. Larger randomized trials are needed to reconfirm these findings.
