Hierarchical clock-scale hand-drawn mapping as a simple method for bronchoscopic navigation in peripheral pulmonary nodule.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A feasible and economical bronchoscopic navigation method in guiding peripheral pulmonary nodule biopsy is lacking.

Objective

To investigate the utility of hierarchical clock-scale hand-drawn mapping for bronchoscopic navigation in peripheral pulmonary nodules.

Methods

We developed a hierarchical clock-scale hand-drawn mapping for bronchoscopic navigation in peripheral pulmonary nodules. Patients with peripheral pulmonary nodules were recruited and assigned to two groups in this retrospective study, subjects in VBN group received conventional bronchoscopy in conjunction with virtual bronchoscopic navigation (VBN) and radial probe endobronchial ultrasound (RP-EBUS) for biopsy (VBN group), while HBN group underwent ultrathin bronchoscopy and RP-EBUS under the guidance of hand-drawn bronchoscopic navigation (HBN). The demographic characteristics, procedural time, operating cost and diagnostic yield were compared between these two groups.

Results

Forty-eight patients with peripheral pulmonary nodule were enrolled in HBN group, while 42 in VBN group. There were no significant differences between VBN and HBN groups in terms of age, gender, lesion size, location and radiographic type. The time of planning pathway (1.32 vs. 9.79 min, P < 0.001) and total operation (23.63 vs. 28.02 min, P = 0.002), as well as operating cost (758.31 ± 125.21 vs.1327.70 ± 116.25 USD, P < 0.001) were markedly less in HBN group, compared with those in VBN group. The pathological diagnostic efficiency of benign and malignant disease in HBN group appeared similar with those in VBN group, irrespective of the size of pulmonary lesion (larger or smaller than 20 mm). The total diagnostic yield of HBN had no marked difference from that of VBN (75.00% vs. 61.90%, P = 0.25).

Conclusions

Hierarchical clock-scale hand-drawn mapping for bronchoscopic navigation could serve as a feasible and economical method for guiding peripheral pulmonary nodule biopsy, providing a comparable diagnostic yield in comparison with virtual bronchoscopic navigation.

Project description:Objective:Fluoroscopy guidance is generally required for endobronchial ultrasonography with guide sheath (EBUS-GS) in peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs). Virtual bronchoscopic navigation (VBN) can guide the bronchoscope by creating virtual images of the bronchial route to the lesion. The diagnostic yield and safety profiles of VBN without fluoroscopy for PPLs have not been evaluated in inexperienced pulmonologist performing EBUS-GS. Methods:Between January 2016 and June 2017, consecutive patients with PPLs referred for EBUS-GS at a single cancer center were enrolled. The diagnostic yield as well as safety profiles was retrospectively analyzed, and our preliminary experience was shared. Results:A total of 109 patients with 109 lesions were included, 99 (90.8%) lesions were visible on EBUS imaging. According to the procedure time needed to locate the lesion on EBUS, 24.8% (27/109) were deemed technically difficult procedures; however, no significant relationships were identified between candidate parameters and technically difficult procedures. The overall diagnosis yield was 74.3% (81/109), and the diagnostic yield of malignancy was 83.7% (77/92). Lesions larger than 20 mm [odds ratio (OR), 2.758; 95% confidence interval (95% CI), 1.077-7.062; P=0.034] and probe of within type (OR, 3.174; 95% CI, 1.151-8.757, P=0.026) were independent factors leading to a better diagnostic yield in multivariate analysis. About 30 practice procedures were needed to achieve a stable diagnostic yield, and the proportion of technically difficult procedures decreased and stabilized after 70 practice procedures. Regarding complications, one patient (0.9%) had intraoperative hemorrhage (100 mL) which was managed under endoscopy. Conclusions:VBN without fluoroscopy guidance is still useful and safe for PPLs diagnosis, especially for malignant diseases when performed by pulmonologist without previous experience of EBUS-GS. VBN may simplify the process of lesion positioning and further multi-center randomized studies are warranted.
