Transbronchial fine needle aspiration.
In a pilot study, 21 patients underwent transbronchial fine needle aspiration (TBFNA) using a 45 cm-22 gauge needle guided by means of a semi-rigid metal sleeve, which was introduced through a standard rigid bronchoscope. A total of 33 aspirations were performed from main carina (15), paratracheal (five), and lobar carinal (13) foci. Six aspirations yielded malignant cellular samples, 22 aspira...
متن کامل[Computed tomography guided fine needle aspiration biopsies].
Computed tomography (CT) allows the performance of fine needle aspiration biopsies in situations in which ultrasound or conventional X rays do not correctly visualize the lesion or the needle tract. One hundred four patients with a clinical suspicion of neoplasia were subjected to CT guided percutaneous aspiration biopsies in a lapse of 6 years. The most frequently biopsied organs were the lung...
متن کاملHemomediastinum after transbronchial needle aspiration.
Complications are rarely reported after fiberoptic transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA). To date, Wang has described only two pneumothoraces and one pneumomediastinum resulting from this procedure. Reports ofbleeding consist only ofa few drops ofblood at the TBNA site, despite the occasional aspiration ofmediastinal great 13 We report a case of pleuritic chest pain associated with hemorrhagi...
متن کاملTransbronchial needle aspiration in clinical practice.
Transbronchial needle aspiration has recently been adapted for use with the flexible bronchoscope. We studied 108 patients, who had a total of 110 aspirations performed, and diagnosed thoracic cancer in 70 cases. Transbronchial needle aspiration revealed malignant disease in 32 (46%) of these 70 patients. In 12 (17%) patients with cancer this technique provided the sole cytological or histologi...
متن کاملTransbronchial needle aspiration of mediastinal lymph node.
In Malaysia, transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) is a relatively new procedure performed only in a handful of respiratory centres. We reviewed TBNA of mediastinal lymph node performed in Hospital Tengku Ampuan Afzan (HTAA) to determine the yield and its complications. Data was retrieved from endoscopy databases and patients' records, CT thorax images and all cytological and histological sli...
