TLDR
In this series, EBUS- and EUS-guided transvascular approach for biopsy of mediastinal, hilar, and lung lesions was not associated with significant complications, however, careful selection of potential candidates and close periprocedural observation are mandatory.About:

Defining expanded areas in EBUS sampling: EBUS guided trans- and intra-pulmonary artery needle aspiration, with review of transvascular EBUS.
Ravindra M Mehta,Pavankumar Biraris,Vallandramam Pattabhiraman,Arjun Srinivasan,Abhinav Singla,Sunil Kumar,Michael Cutaia +6 more
TL;DR: Endobronschial Ultrasound‐guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration (EBUS‐TBNA) has revolutionized the diagnostic approach to mediastinal diseases.

Transvascular endosonographic-guided needle biopsy of intrathoracic lesions.
Juan Carlos Molina,Fawad Chaudry,Vanessa Menezes,Pasquale Ferraro,Edwin Lafontaine,Jocelyne Martin,Basil S. Nasir,Moishe Liberman +7 more
TL;DR: Transvascular endosonographic-guided biopsy is an important adjunct to conventional endoscopic techniques and allows the thoracic endoscopist to obtain biopsy specimens from intrathoracic lesions that are not accessible without vascular puncture.

Combined Endosonographic Mediastinal Lymph Node Staging in Positron Emission Tomography and Computed Tomography Node-Negative Non–Small-Cell Lung Cancer in High-Risk Patients
Pravachan Hegde,Pravachan Hegde,Juan Carlos Molina,Maureen Thivierge-Southidara,Ratnali Jain,Akshatha Gowda,Pasquale Ferraro,Moishe Liberman +7 more
TL;DR: Combined endosonographic lymph node staging should be considered in the pre-treatment staging of high risk patients with non-small cell lung cancer in the presence of radiologically normal mediastinal lymph nodes due to the significant rate of radiological occult lymph node metastases.

Endoscopic ultrasonography guided transgastric trans-portal system fine needle aspiration for diagnosing pancreatic head and uncinate process malignancy
TL;DR: EUS-guided transgastric trans-portal system FNA is a feasible and probably safe method for diagnosing pancreatic head and uncinate process malignancy.

Tao He,Atul C. Mehta +1 more
TL;DR: This review summarizes the most recent evidence on evaluating the performance of linear EBUS‐guided biopsy in various clinical situations and finds its way to fit into this scheme as a safe and effective diagnostic tool.

TL;DR: There are striking variations in the risk of different cancers by geographic area, most of the international variation is due to exposure to known or suspected risk factors related to lifestyle or environment, and provides a clear challenge to prevention.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that PET scanning is more accurate than CT scanning, but tissue biopsy is still required to confirm PET scan findings, and evidence suggests that more complete staging improves patient outcomes.

Tournoy +17 more
TL;DR: Among patients with (suspected) NSCLC, a staging strategy combining endosonography and surgical staging compared with surgical staging alone resulted in greater sensitivity for mediastinal nodal metastases and fewer unnecessary thoracotomies.

TL;DR: EBUS-TBNA can replace mediastinoscopy in patients with potentially resectable non-small cell lung cancer and achieve similar results for the mediastinal staging of lung cancer.

Real-time endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration in mediastinal staging of non-small cell lung cancer: how many aspirations per target lymph node station?
Hee Seok Lee,Geon Kook Lee,Hyun-Sung Lee,Moon Soo Kim,Jong Mog Lee,Hyae Young Kim,Byung-Ho Nam,Jae Ill Zo,Bin Hwangbo +8 more
TL;DR: Optimal results can be obtained in three aspirations per LN station in EBUS-TBNA for mediastinal staging of potentially operable NSCLC when at least one tissue core specimen is obtained by the first or second aspiration, two aspirations perLN station can be acceptable.
