Transbronchial sampling of peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs) is routinely performed under fluoroscopy. However, advanced ancillary techniques have become available, such as virtual bronchoscopic navigation (VBN) and radial endobronchial ultrasound with a guide sheath (rEBUS‐GS). This study was performed to determine whether the diagnostic utility of VBN and rEBUS with a GS is similar with or without fluoroscopy.
