Abstract Background Transthoracic needle biopsy is a well-established technique for diagnosing pulmonary lesions. Computed tomography (CT) is usually used as guidance. Ultrasound (US)-guided biopsy is a relatively affordable modality for diagnosis of peripheral lung lesions (PLLs; also known as peripheral pulmonary lesions [PPLs]) and peripheral pleural lesions. Objectives The purpose of this study was to study the diagnostic yield of US guidance sampling a consecutive series of peripheral lung and pleural lesions and potential factors influencing the diagnostic yield with recording the occurrence of any complications. Patients and Methods This was a prospective study that was conducted at Ain Shams University Hospitals upon a population of 60 patients, during the period from September 2018 to August 2019. A special puncture transducer is used to perform US-guided biopsy with visualization of the biopsy needle and the lesion; facilitating the sampling procedure. Results The use of US-guided transthoracic needle biopsies across 60 patients was shown to have a yield of 75% which found the occurrence of 45 conclusive and 15 non-conclusive results From this study population, 70% (n = 42/45) were found to have malignant manifestations, of which 26 were undifferentiated high grade adenocarcinoma, and 9 were moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma. As for complications arising from the biopsy procedure, twenty percent 20% (n = 12) of patients suffered from complications in the form of hemoptysis in 8 which was controlled by hemostatic measures and 4 patients acquired pneumothorax, three (¾) of them received high flow oxygen and conservative treatment and only one (1/4) patient had intercostal tube placement. Diagnostic yield was significantly increased with the presence of Wedge shaped hypoechoic lesions(p < 0.001), hard Mass consistency was significantly highly associated with conclusive results (p < 0.001), as well as a significant link between the longitudinal diameter of masses that had a mean length of 45.05mm ±12.93mm (#x0003D; 0.029).It also showed that more biopsies taken were highly significant correlation with conclusive outcomes (p < 0.001). Conclusion US-guided biopsy is a robust and accurate procedure to effectively diagnose peripheral lung lesions, with a low incidence of complications and gradually improving results with the mastery of the procedure.

<b><i>Background:</i></b> Radial probe endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial lung biopsy (RP-EBUS-TBLB) is widely used for diagnosis of peripheral lung lesions (PLLs). To date, there have been no reports regarding the clinical outcomes of RP-EBUS-TBLB for PLLs in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). <b><i>Objectives:</i></b> This study was performed between October 2017 and December 2019 to identify the safety and diagnostic performance of RP-EBUS-TBLB in IPF patients. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Patients were divided into the usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) group (<i>n</i> = 39, 4%), the probable UIP group (<i>n</i> = 12, 1%), and the noninterstitial lung disease (non-ILD) group (<i>n</i> = 903, 95%). <b><i>Results:</i></b> The diagnostic yield was significantly lower in the UIP group than in the non-ILD group (62% vs. 76%; <i>p</i> = 0.042), but there were no significant differences between the UIP and probable UIP groups (62% vs. 83%; <i>p</i> = 0.293) or the probable UIP and non-ILD groups (83% vs. 76%; <i>p</i> = 0.741). Multivariate logistic analysis showed that the mean diameter of PLLs, positive bronchus sign on CT, and “within the lesion” status on EBUS were independently associated with success of the procedure. Especially, the presence of the UIP pattern on CT (OR, 0.385; 95% CI: 0.172–0.863; <i>p</i> = 0.020) was independently associated with failed diagnosis. Among patients with UIP, “within the lesion” status on EBUS (OR, 25.432; 95% CI: 2.321–278.666; <i>p</i> = 0.008) was shown to be a factor contributing to a successful diagnosis. Overall, there were no significant differences in complication rates among the 3 study groups. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> RP-EBUS-TBLB can be performed safely with an acceptable diagnostic yield, even in patients with IPF.

The Impact

Background. Conventional flexible bronchoscopy has limited sensitivity in the diagnosis of peripheral lung lesions and is dependent on lesion size. However, advancement of CT imaging offers multiplanar reconstruction facilitating enhanced preprocedure planning. This study aims to report efficacy and safety while considering the impact of patient selection and multiplanar CT planning. Method. Prospective case series of patients with peripheral lung lesions suspected of having lung cancer who underwent flexible bronchoscopy (forceps biopsy and lavage). Endobronchial lesions were excluded. Patients with negative results underwent CT-guided transthoracic needle aspiration, surgical biopsy, or clinical-radiological surveillance to establish the final diagnosis. Results. 226 patients were analysed. The diagnostic yield of bronchoscopy was 80.1% (181/226) with a sensitivity of 84.2% and specificity of 100%. In patients with a positive CT-Bronchus sign, the diagnostic yield was 82.4% compared to 72.8% with negative CT-Bronchus sign (p=0.116). Diagnostic yield was 84.9% in lesions > 20 mm and 63.0% in lesions ≤ 20 mm (p=0.001). Six (2.7%) patients had transient hypoxia and 2 (0.9%) had pneumothorax. There were no serious adverse events. Conclusion. Flexible bronchoscopy with appropriate patient selection and preprocedure planning is more efficacious in obtaining a diagnosis in peripheral lung lesions compared to historical data. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01374542.
