A Single-Center Case Series Describing Tracheobronchial Bonastent Implantation
Conclusion: The Bonastent is the newest self-expanding metallic endotracheobronchial stent on the market. Like any other stent, it has its advantages and drawbacks. Interestingly, we noted 3 instances of tissue ingrowth through the covered portion of the stent. Larger studies with a longer follow-up periods are needed to assess long-term efficacy and safety of this relatively novel stent. (Source: Journal of Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology)

Radial Endobronchial Ultrasound-guided Transbronchial Cryobiopsy
Conclusion: The use of R-EBUS to locate and select target lung biopsy site before TBLC might increase diagnostic yield. Randomized studies comparing TBLC histopathologic diagnosis with and without R-EBUS are needed to ascertain its clinical value. (Source: Journal of Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology)

Tissue Acquisition During EBUS-TBNA: Comparison of Cell Blocks Obtained From a 19G Versus 21G Needle
Conclusion: The cell area obtained via the 19G needle was significantly larger than that obtained with the 21G needle. Further multicenter randomized studies are needed to identify the utility of the Flex 19G needle in diagnosing/subtyping lymphoproliferative disorders and adequacy for molecular testing in non–small cell lung cancer.

Graduating Fellows’ Procedural Comfort Level With Pulmonary Critical Care Procedures
Conclusion: There is a correlation between a fellow’s procedural comfort with independent practice and the number of successful attempts by a graduating fellow. There are no universal guidelines that outline the appropriate number of successful attempts needed for independent practice, and our data strongly suggests that there is a threshold for each procedure across these three subspecialties.
