Brief summary
Peripheral pulmonary lesions are of growing importance in respiratory field. Early detection of lung cancer, tuberculosis and other diseases often needs a bronchoscopic investigation with different types of navigation. Current randomized clinical study is intended to compare three different modalities of navigation in bronchial tree - virtual bronchoscopy (VBN), radial endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) and combination of both techniques.
Detailed description
Current randomized clinical study is intended to compare three different modalities of navigation in bronchial tree - virtual bronchoscopy, radial EBUS and combination of both techniques. Around 300 patients with incidentally detected peripheral pulmonary lesions will be enrolled in 9 centers among Russia. All patients after obtaining an informed consent will be randomized in 1:1:1 fashion to three study groups depending on type of navigation technique used. All patients will undergone navigational bronchoscopy with rEBUS (group A), VBN (group B) and rEBUS+VBN (group C), data on diagnostic efficacy and safety of each modality of navigation will be analyzed.
Interventions
It is planned to use VBN as the only navigation technique to compare it with rEBUS
