Improved diagnostic yield of peripheral pulmonary malignant lesions with emphysema using a combination of radial endobronchial ultrasonography and rapid on-site evaluation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This is a retrospective cohort study from a single center of Chest Medical District of Nanjing Brain Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University, Jiangsu Province, China. It was aim to evaluate the diagnostic value of radial endobronchial ultrasound (R-EBUS) combination with rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) guided transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) for peripheral pulmonary lesions in patients with emphysema.

Methods

All 170 patients who underwent PPLs with emphysema received an R-EBUS examination with or without the ROSE procedure, and the diagnostic yield, safety, and possible factors influencing diagnosis were analyzed between the two groups by the SPSS 25.0 software.

Results

The pooled and benign diagnostic yields were not different in the two groups
