  • Diagnostic value of radial endobronchial ultrasound guide sheath transbronchial lung biospy in peripheral pulmonary lesions

    Objective To evaluate the role of guide sheath (GS) utilization in radial endobronchial ultrasound guided transbronchial lung biopsy (EBUS-TBLB) for diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs). Methods The clinical data of patients who underwent EBUS-TBLB in Peking University First Hospital from July 2012 to June 2015 were retrospectively reviewed. The patients were divided into three groups,ie. a GS group, a non-GS group, and a double biopsy group. Results A total of 118 patients with 126 PPLs were collected. The overall diagnostic yield of EBUS-guided bronchoscopy was 60.3%. The diagnostic yield of GS group, non-GS group and double biopsy group was 65.4%(36/55), 61.5%(8/13), 59.6%(31/52), respectively. The diagnostic yield of the non-GS group was significantly lower than other two groups when PPLs≤20 mm (χ2=6.8,P=0.033), whereas no significant difference was observed when PPLs>20 mm (χ2=2.301,P=0.301). Conclusion GS significantly improves diagnostic yield in EBUS-TBLB when PPLs≤20 mm.
