Intraprocedural O-arm computed tomography-guided navigation with ventilatory strategy for atelectasis electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopic biopsy of peripheral lung lesions: an IDEAL stage 2a study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB) is a useful tool for the diagnosis of pulmonary lesions; however, the diagnostic accuracy is usually limited, especially for peripheral pulmonary lesions. To enhance the diagnostic accuracy of ENB for peripheral pulmonary lesions, we developed an innovative modification called intraprocedural computed tomography-guided navigation with ventilatory strategy for atelectasis (ICNVA)-ENB.

Methods

In this single-center prospective cohort study [IDEAL (Idea, Development, Exploration, Assessment, Long-term follow-up) framework stage 2a], we enrolled patients scheduled for ENB-guided pulmonary lesion biopsy. Departing from conventional ENB, navigation planning relied solely on intraoperative O-arm computed tomography (CT) scans
