Abstract
Transthoracic Needle Aspiration (TTNA) is a medical procedure that involves the percutaneous insertion of a needle, typically guided by computed tomography, to aspirate lung tissue. During TTNA, the needle is often directed through the pleura and lung to reach and aspirate target tissues, such as the lung or lymph nodes. This procedure is commonly used to obtain tissue samples for diagnostic purposes. Over the past decade, invasive bronchoscopy, including endobronchial ultrasound biopsy (EBUS), radial probe, navigational, and robotic bronchoscopy, has improved the yield and safety profile of lung nodule biopsies while ensuring adequate lung tissue sampling. In this review article, we aim to compare the differences in efficacy, safety, and diagnostic yield among various diagnostic modalities in pulmonary medicine.
期刊介绍：
The Open Respiratory Medicine Journal is an Open Access online journal, which publishes research articles, reviews/mini-reviews, letters and guest edited single topic issues in all important areas of experimental and clinical research in respiratory medicine. Topics covered include: -COPD- Occupational disorders, and the role of allergens and pollutants- Asthma- Allergy- Non-invasive ventilation- Therapeutic intervention- Lung cancer- Lung infections respiratory diseases- Therapeutic interventions- Adult and paediatric medicine- Cell biology. The Open Respiratory Medicine Journal, a peer reviewed journal, is an important and reliable source of current information on important recent developments in the field. The emphasis will be on publishing quality articles rapidly and making them freely available worldwide.
