Abstract:
Flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy is the procedure of choice for the diagnosis of endobronchial neoplasm. Because of technical limitations of fiberoptic bronchoscopy, the use of ultrasound assistance was initiated and evaluated. This article reviews the technique, study design, and clinical results of ultrasound-assisted fiberoptic bronchoscopy.
