Abstract:

Transesophageal endoscopic ultrasound with bronchoscope-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-B-FNA) has been reported to be useful for evaluating paraesophageal lesions; however, its ability to access subaortic lesions is relatively limited. The third-generation Olympus ultrasound bronchoscope, which was released in 2018, has a wider up-angulation range, which is theoretically preferable to previous models for puncturing the subaortic lesions. We report herein two cases with subaortic lesions that could not be evaluated using a conventional ultrasound bronchoscope, but that were successfully evaluated and diagnosed via EUS-B-FNA employing a new ultrasound bronchoscope.

Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis

Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis

Thoracentesis(Thoracocentesis), commonly known as pleural tap, is a medical procedure where a 22 gauge needle is inserted into the pleural space, the area between the lung and chest wall. This procedure is commonly performed to diagnose or treat various respiratory disorders.
Description
Excess pleural fluid or air may accumulate in some respiratory disorders in the thoracic cavity. To treat pleural effusion, a physician conducts thoracentesis by carefully piercing the chest wall and entering...

Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy

Endoscopy is a non-surgical medical technique used to examine a person's internal organs and vessels. This lesson will focus on two types of endoscopic studies: bronchoscopy and thoracoscopy.
Bronchoscopy
Description
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that involves direct visualization of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A flexible fiber optic or rigid bronchoscope is used to carry out the procedure. The fiber-optic bronchoscope is more frequently used due...
