The Safety and Feasibility of Endobronchial Ultrasound Bronchoscopy–guided Intranodal Forceps Biopsies (EBUS-INF)
This study suggests that EBUS-INF is an effective and safe method for the sampling of mediastinal and/or hilar lymph nodes when performed in conjunction with EBUS-TBNA. There is a trend toward higher likelihood of a diagnosis of granulomatous disease or lymphoma when EBUS-INF is used compared with EBUS-TBNA alone.
