Abstract

|
|
|
Endobronchial ultrasound guided transbronchial needle aspiration is a recently introduceddiagnostic method which enables real time aspiration of peritracheal and peribronchial lesions. The high sensitivity and the high diagnostic accuracy of EBUS-TBNA in the mediastinal staging of lung cancer have been reported. EBUS-TBNA also showed the high diagnostic yield in the diagnosis of lung parenchymal masses adjacent to the trachea or the large airways. EBUS-TBNA is a good diagnostic method for mediastinal diseases, such as sarcoidosis. Until now, no major complications of EBUS-TBNA have been reported. EBUS-TBNA should be considered for the mediastinal staging of lung cancer and the diagnosis of mediastinal lymphadenopathies.
