Electromagnetic Navigation for Peripheral Pulmonary Lesions

Peripheral Lung Lesions Clinical Trial

Official title:
Electromagnetic Navigation for Peripheral Pulmonary Lesions Using a Tip Tracked Steerable Catheter and Optical Guidance

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

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.
