ABSTRACT

Objective To assess the diagnosis value of endorbronchial ultrasonography with a guide sheath combination with virtual bronchoscopic navigation at peripheral lung lesions. Methods 23 patients with lung peripheral lesions, 10 cases male, 13 cases female, age 29~78, the median age of 61, were retrospectively analyzed by diagnosised with EBUS-GS-TBLB combination VBN from March 2015 to December 2015. Results 23 cases of patients, 8 cases of adenocarcinoma, squamous carcinoma in 5 cases, mixed carcinoma in 1 case, 1 case of small cell carcinoma and lung metastatic carcinoma in 1 case, 2 cases were tuberculosis, 1 case of inflammation, 4 cases were negative. The total positive rate was 82.6%. Conclusion EBUS-GS-TBLB combination with VBN to the diagnosis of lung lesions with high positive rate, it is worthy of promoting clinically.
