Filter by:A non-sponsored prospective randomized single-blind national multicenter interventional study which aims to compare the diagnostic accuracy between US-guided percutaneous lung needle biopsies and CT-guided in peripheral lung lesions. Secondary endpoints are: - onset of number and type of complications during and after the procedure, within the first three hour; - exposition to ionizing radiation, in mGy; - patient comfort during the procedure; - duration of the procedure,
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy and safety of percutaneous lung biopsy guided by electromagnetic navigation real-time positioning technology in peripheral lung lesions. The main question it aims to answer are: the effectiveness and safety of percutaneous lung biopsy guided by electromagnetic navigation real-time positioning technology. Participants will undergo CT-guided percutaneous lung biopsy or percutaneous lung biopsy guided by electromagnetic navigation real-time positioning technology.
Diagnostic accuracy study to investigate the sensitivity and specificity of sonographic elastography using strain ratio to differentiate between benign and malignant peripheral lesions in comparison to biopsy, clinically, or radiologically.
The objectives of this study are to evaluate intraoperative percutaneous lung lesion marking assisted by electromagnetic guided percutaneous navigation and related tools.
Despite technological advancements directed towards the diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary lesions, an optimal approach has yet to be designed. One significant barrier for the bronchoscopic biopsy of peripheral lesions is the ability to reliably locate peripheral lesions in an efficient manner. The majority of the published literature regarding peripheral lesion biopsy has used diagnostic yield as the primary endpoint. Based on this data, it is unclear if non-diagnostic procedures are due to the inability to locate peripheral lesions, or due to the inability to successfully biopsy lesions once located using currently available instruments. This study will evaluate the bronchoscopists' ability to locate peripheral pulmonary lesions by using a conventional chest computed tomography (CT) scan as a reference and a virtual bronchoscopic navigational system, if needed, for the localization of peripheral pulmonary lesions.
Despite technological advancements directed towards the diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary lesions, an optimal approach has yet to be designed. The potential advantages of catheter based techniques include the ability to utilize instruments smaller than the diameter of a conventional bronchoscope, thereby allowing better access to the lung periphery. The drawbacks of a catheter based approach include the relative inability to steer a conventional catheter, and the inability to perform direct visualization and airway inspection through a conventional catheter. This study will evaluate a novel steerable catheter system with optical capabilities and pair this with electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy to biopsy peripheral pulmonary lesions.
