Abstract:Background and AimsManual navigation (MN), drawing a bronchoscopic road map simply by looking at the consecutive computed tomography (CT), is feasible and economical. However, scant data about the use of MN in radial endobronchial ultrasound (r‐EBUS) bronchoscopy have been documented till now. We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of r‐EBUS bronchoscopy guided by MN for diagnosing peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs) and to determine clinical factors affecting the diagnostic yield.MethodsWe performed … Show more
