Timeline
Interventions
ENB Guidance: The iLungTM SuperNavigator system will be used, it comprises of iLungTM ENB system, location catheter and guide catheter. The guide catheter can supply a 1.9 mm working channel for biopsy tools. The location catheter is inserted into the guide catheter beforehand, then both are introduced via the working channel of the bronchoscope. Under guidance of ENB system, the location catheter reaches the lesion, and actual distance is confirmed by the X-ray. TBLB: Location catheter is retracted, then the biopsy forceps and brush was introduced, and pathologic specimens are obtained.
Based on chest CT, the physician determines the lesion location. Under X-ray guidance, via the bronchoscope's working channel, the biopsy forceps and brush are introduced and pathologic specimens are obtained.
