What is a EBUS-TBNA procedure?
EBUS allows physicians to perform a technique known as transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) to obtain tissue or fluid samples from the lungs and surrounding lymph nodes without conventional surgery.
What is the difference between EBUS and TBNA?
Transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) is a minimally invasive diagnostic modality for patients with mediastinal and hilar diseases Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) allows for real-time localization and aspiration of lymph nodes (LNs) during bronchoscopy, which improves the safety and accuracy of TBNA.
