Abstract

The article presents a study on endobronchial ultrasonography (EBUS) guidance for transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) using a double-channel bronchoscope (EBUS-D). A randomized, comparative prospective study was conducted to 55 patients between January 2000 and August 2003. The study concluded that EBUS-D is useful for diagnosing intrathoracic lymphadenopathy, and the obtained specimen with real-time confirmation of the needle is directly proportional to an accurate diagnosis.
