Comparison of PENTAX EB-1970UK and EB19-J10U ultrasound bronchoscopes for EBUS-TBNA in the diagnosis of mediastinal lymphadenopathy
Both bronchoscopes demonstrated high diagnostic accuracy and predictive value in elastography-assisted EBUS-TBNA for mediastinal lymphadenopathy. However, EB19-J10U provided better specimen adequacy and fewer severe cough complications, suggesting superior procedural efficiency and patient tolerance.
