Surgical lung biopsy for suspected interstitial lung disease with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is safe, providing exact histological and disease specific diagnosis for tailoring treatment
CONCLUSIONS: Lung biopsy with VATS-technique provided a definitive histological and disease specific diagnosis in majority of cases. The procedure is safe, reflected in low complication-rates and short hospital stay, and can therefore be used to diagnose and tailor treatment of ILD patients.PMID:38410568 | PMC:PMC10894428 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-23-1107 (Source: Journal of Thoracic Disease)

Predictors of improvement of radial-endobronchial ultrasonography findings from "adjacent to" to "within" in endobronchial ultrasonography using a guide sheath: a retrospective cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: We found that lesion diameter was a significant factor in predicting "A to W", with a cut-off value of 29.25 mm and high specificity (0.852).PMID:38410610 | PMC:PMC10894430 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-23-1234 (Source: Journal of Thoracic Disease)

Comparison of safety and anxiety/depression in computed tomography-guided hook-wire localization versus electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy-guided localization: a retrospective cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: ENB-guided and CT-guided localization can effectively identify solitary pulmonary nodules. ENB-guided localization has fewer complications, lower incidence of adverse events, and less impact on postoperative anxiety or depression, suggesting that this is a promising, safe, and feasible method for localization of solitary pulmonary nodules.PMID:38410569 | PMC:PMC10894390 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-23-1351 (Source: Journal of Thoracic Disease)
