EBUS-TBNA in patients presented with superior vena cava syndrome
چکیده انگلیسی

IntroductionExpedient pathological diagnosis is crucial in selection of appropriate treatment in patients presented with superior vena cava syndrome (SVCS). The performance and safety of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) in this setting is unknown.MethodsOver a 4-year period, patients presented with SVCS in the presence of mediastinal mass and referred for EBUS-TBNA were enrolled for the study. The procedure was performed under local anaesthesia with conscious sedation. TBNA was performed under real-time with the curvilinear probe of EBUS. Rapid on site cytological examination (ROSE) was not available.ResultsEighteen procedures of EBUS-TBNA were performed in 17 patients. Malignancy was confirmed in 16 patients (diagnostic yield 94.1%). There was no major complication including significant bleeding or pneumothorax related to the procedures.ConclusionsEBUS-TBNA has high diagnostic yield and is safe in patients presented with SVCS and mediastinal mass.
