Sep 26, 2003 · To assess the ability of endobronchial ultrasonography (EBUS) using a guide sheath (EBUS-GS) to diagnose peripheral pulmonary lesions. We devised a technique for EBUS-GS covering a miniature probe, and 150 lesions were evaluated in a prospective open study.

Aug 8, 2017 · EBUS-GS-TBB is a safe and effective method for diagnosing SPNs. Keywords: endobronchial ultrasound, transbronchial biopsy, guide-sheath, solitary pulmonary nodules. Bronchoscopy has been widely used in the evaluation of pulmonary lesions of the lung, however, the diagnostic yield of solitary pulmonary nodules (SPNs) is still low [1, 2].

Aug 12, 2022 · Endobronchial ultrasonography with a guide sheath (EBUS-GS) improves the accuracy of bronchoscopy. The possibility of differentiating benign from malignant lesions based on EBUS findings may...

Feb 7, 2018 · Although endobronchial ultrasound guided transbronchial biopsy (TBB) with a guide sheath (EBUS-GS) is widely used for diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary lesions, the diagnostic contribution of cytology (bronchial brushing, bronchial washing and biopsy forceps rinse) has not been established.

Sep 30, 2024 · Background: Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS)-guided transbronchial biopsy with or without a guide sheath (EBUS-GS or EBUS-nGS) is commonly utilized for the diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs).

Feb 7, 2022 · 気管支腔内超音波断層法(endobronchial ultra-sonography:EBUS)のうち,ラジアル走査式EBUS(R-EBUS)は,中枢気道病変の評価や,細径プローブによる末梢病変の診断に用いられている.本セミナーでは,R-EBUSを用いた末梢肺病変診断法,特にガイドシース(guide sheath:GS)併用気管支腔内超音波断層法(EBUS-GS法)を用いた生検の基本について概説する. 検査の成功には十分な準備が必要である. ・検査の目的.鑑別診断は肺癌だけか.悪性リンパ腫の可能性はない …

Mar 5, 2024 · In this review, EBUS-GS is effective for the diagnosis of malignant and benign PPLs. A multimodality approach is needed to further enhance its diagnostic performance. Keywords: diagnosis identification, guide sheath, peripheral pulmonary lesions, endobronchial ultrasonography, flexible bronchoscopy.

CONCLUSION: EBUS using the thin GS increase the yield of visualization by EBUS, and the diagnostic yield of lesions of left S1+2. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: EBUS using the thin GS will be one of the techniques of collecting specimens from the peripheral pulmonary lesion.

EBUS-GS can improve PPL diagnosis rates and be used for obtaining specimens for molecular analysis. In this review, we discuss the clinical applications of EBUS-GS, the factors that affect its diagnostic sensitivity, and potential complications.
