Brief Summary

A monocentric prospective and randomized trial aiming to compare the diagnostic yield and safety of electromagnetical-guided bronchoscopy (ENB) procedures coupled to trans-bronchial lung cryobiopsies ...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Pulmonary nodule of maximum 30mm of largest diameter
  • Nodules can be either solid or subsolid (including GGO) without evidence of loco-regional or distant metastasis that could be biopsied, and no evidence for an infectious underlying disease.
  • A multidisciplinary discussion is performed for each case before considering its inclusion in the study in order to validate the indication of ENB-guided biopsy. Of note, any other endoscopic or trans-thoracic procedure should be tried before considering ENB if it could achieve the diagnosis according to the investigator's judgment.

Exclusion

  • Patient eligible for a direct surgical resection of the nodule
  • Other exclusion criteria are a higher risk of bleeding (platelets count lower than 80,000/mm³, a systolic pulmonary arterial pressure (sPAP) higher than 45 mmHg at transthoracic ultrasonography, prothrombin time international normalized ratio - INR \>1.5, activated partial thromboplastin time - APTT \>35, uninterrupted anti-coagulant/anti-aggregant therapy), and the presence of any contraindication to general anesthesia as determined by the principal investigator (significant cardiac comorbidities, hypercapnia, severe hypoxia...).
  • No strict limits for inclusion were applied regarding diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO), forced vital capacity (FVC), and forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1).
