Brief summary
This study will determine the feasibility of the novel thin convex probe endobronchial ultrasound (TCP-EBUS) in human resected lobes. The primary end point is to clarify the feasibility of using the thin convex probe EBUS scope to visualize lung tumors from an intra-bronchial view. The secondary objective is to evaluate the insertion ability, operability, endoscopic image and ultrasound image compared to that of the convex probe EBUS.
Interventions
DEVICEThin Convex Probe Endobronchial Ultrasound (TCP-EBUS)
Patients scheduled for a lobectomy will be recruited to this study and approached for informed consent. At the time of surgery, once the lobe has been removed, the TCP-EBUS will be inserted through a bronchial stamp for brief operability evaluations and image acquisition. Once this data has been captured standard of care will continue.
