Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy01:30

Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy

370
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...

Endoscopic Procedures III: Video Capsule Endoscopy01:28

Endoscopic Procedures III: Video Capsule Endoscopy

492
Capsule endoscopy, or wireless or video capsule endoscopy, is a diagnostic procedure for examining the entire gastrointestinal tract. Patients swallow a capsule about the size of a vitamin tablet. The capsule is equipped with a transmitter, a battery, an LED light source, and a color video camera to capture images throughout the gastrointestinal tract. This procedure is particularly useful for diagnosing conditions such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, tumors, polyps, ulcers,...

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP01:26

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

1.8K
Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a diagnostic procedure that combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat conditions related to the bile ducts, pancreatic ducts, and gallbladder. This procedure is beneficial for identifying and addressing blockages, gallstones, strictures, and tumors within the biliary or pancreatic systems. ERCP is both diagnostic and therapeutic, offering the ability to visualize and treat identified problems in one session.

Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy01:29

Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

590
An Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is a diagnostic procedure in which an endoscopist uses a flexible, lighted endoscope to visualize the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The procedure includes visualizing the oropharynx, esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine, the duodenum.
During an EGD, the endoscope can be used to:

Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis01:26

Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis

953
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...

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Interventional Pulmonology

Background:

  • Diagnosing lung nodules remains challenging, impacting cancer treatment and unnecessary procedures.
  • Current lung biopsy technologies have limitations in nodule navigation and sample collection.
  • Advancements in endobronchial navigation and biopsy are crucial for accurate lung nodule diagnosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the LungVision platform's efficacy in guiding bronchoscopies for pulmonary nodule localization and biopsy.
  • To determine the localization success rate and diagnostic yield of the LungVision platform.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective, multicenter study involving 55 patients.
  • Physicians used the LungVision platform for endobronchial navigation to pulmonary nodules.
  • Radial endobronchial ultrasound verified nodule location prior to biopsy.

Main Results:

  • The study enrolled 55 patients, evaluating multiple nodules in two cases.
  • A high nodule localization success rate of 93% was achieved during bronchoscopy.
  • The overall diagnostic yield on the day of the procedure was 75.4%.

Conclusions:

  • The LungVision platform offers reliable navigation for pulmonary nodule biopsy.
  • The system demonstrated a high localization rate, supporting its utility in diagnosing lung nodules.
  • LungVision shows potential for improving definitive diagnosis rates for lung nodules.
