The Diagnostic Value of Tissue Button Technique for Specimen Accusation During Endobronchial Ultrasound ‐Guided Transbronchial Fine‐Needle Aspiration

Conclusions: The newly introduced TB technique provides valuable histological diagnostic material during EBUS‐TBNA both malignant and benign conditions. Given its simplicity and its high diagnostic yield , TB should be considered to be used as one of the preferred specimen acquisition modalities during EBUS‐TBNA specimen processing. Direct comparison to alternative tissue processing techniques during EBUS‐TBNA should be explored in further randomized prospective studies. This article is protected by copyright.
