Diagnostic Yield of Mediastinal Exploration

Diagnostic yield of mediastinal exploration.

OBJECTIVE To report our experiences of surgical diagnostic procedures in patients with unidentified mediastinal pathology. METHODS From July 1995 to July 1999, 72 patients with mediastinal pathology had 73 surgical procedures for the purpose of tissue diagnosis. Of the 72 patients, 39 were female and 33 male, with an average age of 54 years. Mediastinoscopy and anterior mediastinotomy were pe...

Diagnostic Yield and Safety of Endoscopic Ultrasound Guided Fine Needle Aspiration of Central Mediastinal Lung Masses

UNLABELLED Background and Aims. EUS-FNA is an accurate and safe technique to biopsy mediastinal lymph nodes. However, there are few data pertaining to the role of EUS-FNA to biopsy central lung masses. The aim of the study was to assess the diagnostic yield and safety of EUS-FNA of indeterminate central mediastinal lung masses. Methods. DESIGN Retrospective review of a prospectively maintaine...

Diagnostic yield of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration for mediastinal staging in lung cancer*

OBJECTIVE Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is a minimally invasive diagnostic test with a high diagnostic yield for suspicious central pulmonary lesions and for mediastinal lymph node staging. The main objective of this study was to describe the diagnostic yield of EBUS-TBNA for mediastinal lymph node staging in patients with suspected lung cancer. ...
