Transesophageal endoscopic ultrasound with bronchoscope-guided fine-needle aspiration for diagnostic and staging purposes: a narrative review.


ABSTRACT:

Background and objective

Transesophageal endoscopic ultrasound with bronchoscope-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-B-FNA) is a feasible and well-tolerated modality that is increasingly used to diagnose intrathoracic lesions. This narrative review summarizes the current application of EUS-B-FNA for diagnosing lung cancer, thoracic sarcoidosis, and metastases from extrathoracic malignancies.

Methods

A comprehensive and systematic online literature search via Medline/PubMed for the period January 2005 to December 2022 was conducted for articles published using the keywords "EUS-B-FNA", "endobronchial ultrasound transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA)", "endoscopic ultrasound fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA)", "lung cancer", "staging", and "sarcoidosis".

Key content and findings

Recent data prove the efficacy and safety of EUS-B-FNA for providing complete lung cancer staging, when combined with EBUS-TBNA, and in the evaluation of para-esophageal lesions. EUS-B-FNA allows access to inferior mediastinal lymph nodes and para-esophageal masses that are not accessible by EBUS-TBNA. Additional advantages of using EUS-B-FNA include significantly lower doses of anesthetics and sedatives, a shorter procedural time, fewer incidents of oxygen desaturation due to a poor respiratory reserve, significantly less cough, and higher operator satisfaction. Moreover, this procedure can be performed sequentially in the same setting with EBUS-TBNA by one operator. Other benefits include a lower cost, a single setting, and scope use.

Conclusions

As EUS-B-FNA and EBUS-TBNA have complementary access to the mediastinum, the diagnostic yield of EUS-B-FNA combined with EBUS-TBNA is higher than that of endosonographic techniques alone in the diagnostic workup of intrathoracic lesions.
