Balloon dilatation for bronchoscope delivery: first-in-human trial of a novel technique for peripheral lung field access
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Thorax"
DOI: 10.1136/thorax-2025-223218
Abstract: Background Bronchoscopic limitations in reaching peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs) can compromise biopsy sensitivity, especially for small PPLs. Therefore, we developed the balloon dilatation for bronchoscope delivery (BDBD) technique to dilate bronchial pathways and facilitate bronchoscope… read more here.

DOI: 10.21037/tlcr.2019.12.04
Abstract: Transesophageal endoscopic ultrasound with bronchoscope-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-B-FNA) has been reported to be useful for evaluating paraesophageal lesions; however, its ability to access subaortic lesions is relatively limited. The third-generation Olympus ultrasound bronchoscope, which… read more here.
