Case Report: Endoscopic radiofrequency ablation with radial-EBUS and ROSE

BACKGROUND: Single pulmonary nodules are a common issue in everyday clinical practice. Currently, there are navigation systems with radial-endobronchial ultrasound and electromagnetic navigation for obtaining biopsies. Moreover, rapid on-site evaluation can be used for a quick assessment. These smal...

Sumario:BACKGROUND: Single pulmonary nodules are a common issue in everyday clinical practice. Currently, there are navigation systems with radial-endobronchial ultrasound and electromagnetic navigation for obtaining biopsies. Moreover, rapid on-site evaluation can be used for a quick assessment. These small lesions, even when they do not have any clinically significant information with positron emission tomography, are important to investigate. CASE DESCRIPTION: Radiofrequency and microwave ablation have been evaluated as local treatment techniques. These techniques can be used as therapy for a patient population that cannot be operated on. Currently, one verified operating system is used for endoscopic radiofrequency ablation through the working channel of a bronchoscope. CONCLUSION: In our case, a new system was used to perform radiofrequency ablation with long-term follow-up.
