Journal ArticleDOI
Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration of lymph nodes in the radiologically and positron emission tomography-normal mediastinum in patients with lung cancer.
TL;DR: EBUS-TBNA can be used to accurately sample and stage patients with clinical stage 1 lung cancer and no evidence of mediastinal involvement on CT and PET and the negative predictive value was 98.9%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Routine Clopidogrel Use on Bleeding Complications After Transbronchial Biopsy in Humans
TL;DR: Clopidogrel use greatly increases the risk of bleeding after transbronchial lung biopsy in humans and therefore should be discontinued before bronchoscopy with biopsies, and aspirin exacerbates the effect of clopidOGrel on bleeding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficacy of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration of hilar lymph nodes for diagnosing and staging cancer.
TL;DR: In experienced hands, EBUS-TBNA of enlarged hilar lymph visible on CT or hilar nodes that are PET scan-positive can provide diagnostic results similar to those for central mediastinal nodes.
Journal ArticleDOI
