Performance of Endobronchial Ultrasound Elastography in the Differentiation of Malignant and Benign Mediastinal Lymph Nodes: Results in Real-life Practice

Conclusion: Elastography does not preclude performing TBNA of the lymph nodes. It does not preclude EBUS-TBNA when a type 1 elastogram pattern is found. All lymph nodes visualized should be sampled by EBUS-TBNA, regardless of elastography pattern.
