Clinical Applications of Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS) Scope: Challenges and Opportunities
Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS) has been widely used to stage lung tumors and to diagnose mediastinal diseases. In the last decade, this procedure has evolved in several technical aspects, with new tools available to optimize tissue sampling and to increase its diagnostic yield, like elastography, d...

description | Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS) has been widely used to stage lung tumors and to diagnose mediastinal diseases. In the last decade, this procedure has evolved in several technical aspects, with new tools available to optimize tissue sampling and to increase its diagnostic yield, like elastography, different types of needles and, most recently, miniforceps and cryobiopsy. Accordingly, the indications for the use of the EBUS scope into the airways to perform the Endobronchial Ultrasound–TransBronchial Needle Aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) has also extended beyond the endobronchial and thoracic boundaries to sample lesions from the liver, left adrenal gland and retroperitoneal lymph nodes via the gastroesophageal tract, performing the Endoscopic UltraSound with Bronchoscope-guided Fine Needle Aspiration (EUS-B-FNA). In this review, we summarize and critically discuss the main indication for the use of the EBUS scope, even the more uncommon, to underline its utility and versatility in clinical practice. |
