Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyProspective randomised trial of endobronchial ultrasound-guide sheath versus computed tomography-guided percutaneous core biopsies for peripheral lung lesions.
To determine diagnostic rate, complications and patient tolerability of endobronchial ultrasound-guide sheath (EBUS-GS) and computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous core biopsy for peripheral lung lesions. ⋯ In lesions <2 cm, CT-guided biopsy had higher yields; however, EBUS-GS had better tolerability and fewer complications.
