PROCEDURE

Lung biopsy using Always On EM Tip Tracked Device

Patients screened by CT to have a subsegmental, less than 3.0 centimeter lung lesion will be assigned to outpatient bronchoscopy. The patient will have a chest CT with the Always on Patient vPad. Access to the lesion will be achieved using Electromagnetic Tip Tracked devices. Once accessed the operator will use the Electromagnetic Tip Tracked devices or standard devices to obtain a biopsy sample to then be to pathology for diagnosis and reporting. Once completed the patient will be moved to recovery and discharged. If the biopsy is negative the patient will be advised by the pulmonologist about other interventions, watchful waiting, or no further treatment. If the biopsy is positive, the patient will be referred to their physician for further treatment.
