Introduction
Bronchoscopy using a Radial EBUS probe with a guide sheath is a procedure for the bronchoscopist needing to find a method of reaching and sampling peripheral pulmonary lesions. The guide sheath functions as an extended working channel beyond the reach of a bronchoscope, through which devices can be exchanged in order to facilitate the convenient transfer of devices for repeated sampling of peripheral pulmonary lesions.
Indications
EBUS-GS has been used as a less invasive method for reaching and sampling peripheral pulmonary lesions in order to diagnose and stage various respiratory diseases including lung cancer.
