Project description:BACKGROUND:It is a great challenge for surgeons to resect pulmonary nodules with small volume, deep position and no solid components under video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. The purpose of this study is to explore the feasibility and necessity of the localization of pulmonary nodules by injecting indocyanine green (ICG) under the guidance of magnetic navigation bronchoscope and the resection of small pulmonary nodules under the fluoroscope. METHODS:Between December 2018 and August 2019, sixteen consecutive patients with 30 peripheral lung lesions in our hospital received fluorescent thoracoscopic pulmonary nodule resection. Electromagnetic navigation bronchoscope (ENB) was performed before surgery to guide ICG to the target lesion. RESULTS:All patients underwent magnetic navigation-guided pulmonary nodule localization, and surgical resection was performed immediately after localization was completed. The average size of the nodules was (11.12±3.65) mm. The average navigation time was (12.06±2.74) minutes, and the average interval between dye labeling and lung resection was (25.00±5.29) minutes. All lesions were completely resected, the localization success rate was 100.00%, no bleeding and other complications occurred after the localization, the postoperative pathological results confirmed the accuracy of the staining. CONCLUSIONS:Indocyanine green injection under the guidance of magnetic navigation bronchoscope is an effective way to locate pulmonary nodules, which can locate small and untouchable lesions in the lung. This method can help surgeons identify lesions more quickly and accurately. It is practical and worthy of promotion.

Project description:BackgroundThoracoscopic localization of small peripheral pulmonary nodules is a concern. Failure can lead to larger parenchymal resection or conversion to thoracotomy. This study evaluates our experience in preoperative electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy-guided localization of small peripheral lung lesions.MethodsFrom January 2017 to March 2020 clinical, radiographic, surgical, and pathological data of patients who underwent electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB)-guided methylene blue pleural marking of highly suspected pulmonary lesions before a full thoracoscopic resection were evaluated. Localization was performed for solid or mixed subpleural nodules measuring <10 mm, solid nodules measuring <20 mm located at more than 1 cm from the pleura and any pure ground glass opacity. Successful localization was defined as successful identification and thoracoscopic resection of target lesions.ResultsForty-eight patients were included: 30 solid nodules (63%), 12 pure GGO (25%) and 6 mixed (13%). The median largest diameter at CT-scan was 11 mm (IQR, 9-14 mm) while the median distance from the pleural surface was 12 mm (IQR, 6-16 mm). The median ENB length was 25 min (19-33 min). Localization procedure was successful in 45 cases (94%). No procedural-related complications were reported.ConclusionsENB is a safe and accurate preoperative procedure to localize small lung peripheral lesions. The high successful rate, the absence of related complications, the possibility of performing the procedure in the same operating room with a single general anesthesia, make ENB-guided dye marking an advantageous tool for thoracoscopic pulmonary resection.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Fiducial markers (FMs) help direct stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) and localization for surgical resection in lung cancer management. We report the safety, accuracy, and practice patterns of FM placement utilizing electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB). METHODS:NAVIGATE is a global, prospective, multicenter, observational cohort study of ENB using the superDimension™ navigation system. This prospectively collected subgroup analysis presents the patient demographics, procedural characteristics, and 1-month outcomes in patients undergoing ENB-guided FM placement. Follow up through 24?months is ongoing. RESULTS:Two-hundred fifty-eight patients from 21 centers in the United States were included. General anesthesia was used in 68.2%. Lesion location was confirmed by radial endobronchial ultrasound in 34.5% of procedures. The median ENB procedure time was 31.0?min. Concurrent lung lesion biopsy was conducted in 82.6% (213/258) of patients. A mean of 2.2 ± 1.7 FMs (median 1.0?FMs) were placed per patient and 99.2% were accurately positioned based on subjective operator assessment. Follow-up imaging showed that 94.1% (239/254) of markers remained in place. The procedure-related pneumothorax rate was 5.4% (14/258) overall and 3.1% (8/258) grade???2 based on the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events scale. The procedure-related grade ? 4 respiratory failure rate was 1.6% (4/258). There were no bronchopulmonary hemorrhages. CONCLUSION:ENB is an accurate and versatile tool to place FMs for SBRT and localization for surgical resection with low complication rates. The ability to perform a biopsy safely in the same procedure can also increase efficiency. The impact of practice pattern variations on therapeutic effectiveness requires further study.

Project description:BackgroundRecent advances in imaging modalities and recommended low-dose computed tomography screening programs have made it easier to diagnose early lung cancer. However, the diagnosis of small ground-glass nodules (GGNs) has been problematic due to inappropriate specimen procurement and failure of conventional percutaneous core needle biopsy. Thus, we aimed to evaluate the usefulness of electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB)-guided video-assisted lung resection for not only the diagnosis but also treatment of GGNs.MethodsFrom 2017 to 2019, 110 patients with suspicious lung cancer lesions that were not diagnosed by conventional procedure underwent ENB-guided lung resection. Among 35 cases of GGNs, 33 cases of localization were included in this study (two cup biopsy cases were excluded). We used SuperDimension™ for the ENB procedure. After general anesthesia, indigo carmine (0.3-0.5 mL) was injected, and GGNs were resected through video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.ResultsOf the 33 GGNs, 16 were pure (2 adenocarcinomas in situ, 5 minimally invasive adenocarcinomas (MIAs), 3 adenocarcinomas, and 6 benign lesions) and 17 were mixed (1 MIA, 11 adenocarcinomas, and 5 benign lesions). The mean size of all lesions was 11.2±7.78 mm, mean distance to the pleura was 11.2±14.2 mm, and mean ENB procedure time was 18.8±8.88 minutes. Dye localization and surgical resection of GGN were successful in all cases. There was no procedure-related complication.ConclusionsENB is a feasible and highly accurate localization method for minimally invasive lung resection of small GGNs.

Project description:RationaleElectromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy using superDimension/Bronchus System is a novel method to increase diagnostic yield of peripheral and mediastinal lung lesions.ObjectivesA prospective, open label, single-center, pilot study was conducted to determine the ability of electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy to sample peripheral lung lesions and mediastinal lymph nodes with standard bronchoscopic instruments and demonstrate safety.MethodsElectromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy was performed using the superDimension/Bronchus system consisting of electromagnetic board, position sensor encapsulated in the tip of a steerable probe, extended working channel, and real-time reconstruction of previously acquired multiplanar computed tomography images. The final distance of the steerable probe to lesion, expected error based on the actual and virtual markers, and procedure yield was gathered.Measurements60 subjects were enrolled between December 2004 and September 2005. Mean navigation times were 7 +/- 6 min and 2 +/- 2 min for peripheral lesions and lymph nodes, respectively. The steerable probe tip was navigated to the target lung area in all cases. The mean peripheral lesions and lymph nodes size was 22.8 +/- 12.6 mm and 28.1 +/- 12.8 mm. Yield was determined by results obtained during the bronchoscopy per patient.ResultsThe yield/procedure was 74% and 100% for peripheral lesions and lymph nodes, respectively. A diagnosis was obtained in 80.3% of bronchoscopic procedures. A definitive diagnosis of lung malignancy was made in 74.4% of subjects. Pneumothorax occurred in two subjects.ConclusionElectromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy is a safe method for sampling peripheral and mediastinal lesions with high diagnostic yield independent of lesion size and location.

Project description:In this technical development report, we present the strategic placement of fiducial markers within the prostate under the guidance of computed tomography (CT) and electromagnetic navigation (EMN) for the delivery of ultra-hypofractionated cyberknife (CK) therapy in a patient with localized prostate cancer (PCa) who had previously undergone chemo-radiotherapy for rectal cancer and subsequent abdominoperineal resection due to local recurrence. The patient was positioned in a prone position with a pillow under the pelvis to facilitate access, and an electromagnetic fiducial marker was placed on the patient's skin to establish a stable position. CT scans were performed to plan the procedure, mark virtual points, and simulate the needle trajectory using the navigation system. Local anesthesia was administered, and a 21G needle was used to place the fiducial markers according to the navigation system information. A confirmatory CT scan was obtained to ensure proper positioning. The implantation procedure was safe, without any acute side effects such as pain, hematuria, dysuria, or hematospermia. Our report highlights the ability to use EMN systems to virtually navigate within a pre-acquired imaging dataset in the interventional room, allowing for non-conventional approaches and potentially revolutionizing fiducial marker positioning, offering new perspectives for PCa treatment in selected cases.

Project description:BackgroundElectromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB) procedures allow physicians to access peripheral lung lesions beyond the reach of conventional bronchoscopy. However, published research is primarily limited to small, single-center studies using previous-generation ENB software. The impact of user experience, patient factors, and lesion/procedural characteristics remains largely unexplored in a large, multicenter study.Methods/designNAVIGATE (Clinical Evaluation of superDimension™ Navigation System for Electromagnetic Navigation Bronchoscopy) is a prospective, multicenter, global, cohort study. The study aims to enroll up to 2,500 consecutive subjects presenting for evaluation of lung lesions utilizing the ENB procedure at up to 75 clinical sites in the United States, Europe, and Asia. Subjects will be assessed at baseline, at the time of procedure, and at 1, 12, and 24 months post-procedure. The pre-test probability of malignancy will be determined for peripheral lung nodules. Endpoints include procedure-related adverse events, including pneumothorax, bronchopulmonary hemorrhage, and respiratory failure, as well as quality of life, and subject satisfaction. Diagnostic yield and accuracy, repeat biopsy rate, tissue adequacy for genetic testing, and stage at diagnosis will be reported for biopsy procedures. Complementary technologies, such as fluoroscopy and endobronchial ultrasound, will be explored. Success rates of fiducial marker placement, dye marking, and lymph node biopsies will be captured when applicable. Subgroup analyses based on geography, demographics, investigator experience, and lesion and procedure characteristics are planned.DiscussionStudy enrollment began in April 2015. As of February 19, 2016, 500 subjects had been enrolled at 23 clinical sites with enrollment ongoing. NAVIGATE will be the largest prospective, multicenter clinical study on ENB procedures to date and will provide real-world experience data on the utility of the ENB procedure in a broad range of clinical scenarios.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov NCT02410837 .

Project description:BackgroundCurrent medical society guidelines recommend a procedural number for obtaining electromagnetic navigational bronchoscopy (ENB) competency and for institutional volume for training.ObjectiveTo assess learning curves and estimate the number of ENB procedures for interventional pulmonology (IP) fellows to reach competency.MethodsWe conducted a prospective multicenter study of IP fellows in the United States learning ENB. A tool previously validated in a similar population was used to assess IP fellows by their local faculty and two blinded independent reviewers using virtual recording of the procedure. Competency was determined by performing three consecutive procedures with a competency score on the assessment tool. Procedural time, faculty global rating scale, and periprocedural complications were also recorded.ResultsA total of 184 ENB procedures were available for review with assessment of 26 IP fellows at 16 medical centers. There was a high correlation between the two blinded independent observers (rho = 0.8776). There was substantial agreement for determination of procedural competency between the faculty assessment and blinded reviewers (kappa = 0.7074; confidence interval, 0.5667-0.8482). The number of procedures for reaching competency for ENB bronchoscopy was determined (median, 4; mean, 5; standard deviation, 3.83). There was a wide variation in the number of procedures to reach competency, ranging from 2 to 15 procedures. There were six periprocedural complications reported, four (one pneumomediastinum, three pneumothorax) of which occurred before reaching competence and two pneumothoraces after achieving competence.ConclusionThere is a wide variation in acquiring competency for ENB among IP fellows. Virtual competency assessment has a potential role but needs further studies.

Project description:Background Transbronchial ablation of lung nodules is gaining popularity as part of lung-preserving strategy for patients with multifocal lung cancers or multiple lung oligometastases. Accuracy in placement of ablation catheter is of utmost importance in order to achieve adequate ablation margin. However, older systems are not precise enough for confident placement of ablation catheter and often require multiple cone-beam CT (CBCT) to confirm and readjust its position. The following case is the first microwave lung ablation utilizing the novel IllumisiteTM platform (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA) in the hybrid operating room (HOR), with enhanced accuracy and workflow. Case Description A 66-year-old lady had multiple resected adenocarcinomas in bilateral lungs. Upon CT monitoring a right middle lobe (RML) ground glass opacity with solid centre was found to be suspicious due to increasing size and density. Transbronchial electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB) microwave ablation of the lesion was performed as part of lung-conserving strategy. After initial navigation, the adjusted nodule position provided by the IllumisiteTM platform after correcting the CT-to-body divergence prompted operators to renavigate and readjust the position of the locatable guide (LG) swiftly to gain accurate access to the nodule, which was confirmed by CBCT. Positional data at the tip of extended working channel (EWC) also allowed precise placement of needle for subsequent ablation. Conclusions IllumisiteTM is a novel electromagnetic navigational platform that corrects for CT-to-body divergence and ensures continuous locational information by an additional positional coil in the tip of EWC. This precision is especially important for the placement of ablation catheter, as slight deviation would lead to insufficient ablation margin and future recurrence. Workflow is improved by reducing the number of CBCT required for instrument position adjustment.
