  ACCORDING TO A RETROSPECTIVE LITERATURE SOURCE OF A STUDY PERFORMED BETWEEN FEBRUARY 2016 AND DECEMBER 2019 TO COMPARE THE RESULTS OF 100 PATIENTS WHO UNDERWENT THE ELECTROMAGNETIC NAVIGATIONAL BRONCHOSCOPY-TRANSBRONCHIAL LUNG BIOPSIES (TBLBS) WITH THOSE OF 50 VIR TUAL BRONCHOSCOPY NAVIGATION (VBN)-TBLBS AT A SINGLE INSTITUTION. THE FIRST 35 PATIENTS UNDERWENT ELECTROMAGNETIC NAVIGATIONAL BRONCHOSCOPY (ENB) WITHOUT FLUOROSCOPY GUIDANCE TWO OF WHOM (5.7%) REQUIRED THORACIC DRAINAGE FOR PNEUMOTHORAX. FLUOROSCOPIC GUIDANCE FOR TARGETS NEAR THE PLEURAL SURFACE WERE USED TO THE REMAINING 65 PATIENTS TO MINIMIZE RISK. ONLY TWO OF WHOM (3.1%) HAD PNEUMOTHORAX.

  ACCORDING TO THE LITERATURE SOURCE OF STUDY PERFORMED BETWEEN AUGUST 2014 AND JANUARY 2020, A RETROSPECTIVE STUDY EVALUATED THE DIAGNOSTIC YIELD OF ELECTROMAGNETIC NAVIGATIONAL BRONCHOSCOPY IN PATIENTS. THERE WERE 81 PROCEDURES PERFORMED ON 77 PATIENTS. ALL PROCEDURES WERE PERFORMED WITH THE SUPER-DIMENSION SYSTEM. GENCUT AND OTHER TOOLS WERE USED FOR DIAGNOSIS. POSTOPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS INCLUDED PNEUMOTHORAX AND MINOR BLEEDING FOR 2 CASES. CHEST TUBE PLACEMENT AND HOSPITALIZATION OCCURRED IN ONE PATIENT WITH PNEUMOTHORAX.

  ACCORDING TO THE LITERATURE, A PROSPECTIVE STUDY AIMED TO EVALUATE THE SAFETY AND FEASIBILITY OF IMAGE-GUIDED TRANSBRONCHIAL MICROWAVE ABLATION FOR PATIENTS WITH PERIPHERAL STAGE 1 LUNG CANCER. THE ABLATION PROCEDURE WAS PERFORMED USING NAVIGATIONAL BRONCHOSCOPY AND A FLEXIBLE MICROWAVE ABLATION PROBE WHICH WAS GUIDED BY COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY AND FLUOROSCOPY. ELECTROMAGNETIC NAVIGATION BRONCHOSCOPY WAS PERFORMED WITH SUPERDIMENSION 7.1. EDGE WAS USED WITHOUT NAVIGATION IN TWO PATIENTS WHERE THERE WERE TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES WITH SUPERDIMENSION. THERE WERE TEN PATIENTS IN THE STUDY AND MILD COMPLICATIONS INCLUDED: SCANT HEMOPTYSIS, CHEST WALL PAIN, COUGH, AND DYSPNEA. ONE PATIENT EXPERIENCED HEMORRHAGE WHICH WAS TREATED INTRAOPERATIVELY WITH COLD SALINE AND BRONCHOSCOPIC TAMPONADE. ONE PATIENT ALSO HAD LENGTHY BRONCHOSCOPIC NAVIGATION WITH LOCAL BLEEDING.

  ACCORDING TO LITERATURE SOURCE OF COHORT STUDY, IN THE FIRST SIX MONTHS, THE AUTHORS COMPARED THE DIAGNOSTIC YIELD OF TWO PLATFORMS, DIGITAL TOMOSYNTHESIS-ELECTROMAGNETIC NAVIGATIONAL BRONCHOSCOPY (DT-ENB, SUPERDIMENSION;) AND SHAPE-SENSING ROBOTIC-ASSISTED BRONCHOSCOPY (SSRAB). SSRAB WAS USED TO BIOPSY 143 PPLS IN 133 PATIENTS AND DT-ENB WAS USED TO BIOPSY 197 PPLS IN 170 PATIENTS. TRANSBRONCHIAL NEEDLE ASPIRATION WAS THE Q9 INITIAL BIOPSY METHOD IN ALL PATIENTS USING THE 21-GAUGE PULMONARY NEEDLE IN DT-ENB PROCEDURES AND 19-GAUGE, 21-GAUGE, OR 23-GAUGE NEEDLES FROM ANOTHER MANUFACTURER IN SSRAB PROCEDURES. POST OPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS WAS PNEUMOTHORAX ON TWO (2) PATIENTS  (1.5%) OF SSRAB AND ON THREE PATIENTS (1.8%) OF DT-ENB. ONE PATIENT (0.6%) IN THE DTENB GROUP AND 2 PATIENTS (1.5%) IN THE SSRAB GROUP REQUIRED TUBE THORACOSTOMY. NO PATIENTS REQUIRED ADDITIONAL INTERVENTION BECAUSE OF BLEEDING IN EITHER COHORT. THE SURGEON CONFIRMED THAT COMPLICATIONS IN THIS STUDY WE¿RE NOT RELATED TO THE DEVICES.

  ACCORDING TO THE LITERATURE SOURCE OF STUDY, THE APPLICABILITY OF ENB COMBINED RADIAL ENDOBRONCHIAL ULTRASOUND IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF LUNG NODULES WITH DIFFERENT DENSITIES WAS EXPLORED BETWEEN. PATIENTS WHO UNDERWENT BIOPSY FROM 2016-09 TO 2019-03 WERE DIVIDED INTO 2 GROUPS: THE SOLID NODULE GROUP AND THE SUBSOLID PULMONARY NODULE GROUP. A TOTAL OF 37 LESIONS IN 25 PATIENTS WERE BIOPSIED, 14 LESIONS WERE SUBSOLID PULMONARY NODULES AND 23 WERE SOLID NODULES. PNEUMOTHORAX OCCURRED IN 1 CASE (1/37, 2.7%). IN THIS PATIENT, THE LESION WAS ADJACENT TO THE PLEURA AND DIAPHRAGM, WHICH SUGGESTS A RELATIVE CONTRAINDICATION OF PTLB (PERCUTANEOUS LUNG BIOPSY). THE THORACIC PLEURA WAS PUNCTURED BECAUSE OF UNSATISFACTORY DEPTH CONTROL DURING THE BIOPSY. CLOSED THORACIC DRAINAGE WAS PERFORMED IMMEDIATELY. ONE DAY AFTER THE OPERATION, THE PATIENT RECOVERED AND WAS DISCHARGED FROM THE HOSPITAL.
