Bronchial Rheoplasty (BR) is a procedure in which an endobronchial catheter applies non-thermal pulsed electric fields to the airways. Preclinical studies demonstrated epithelial ablation followed by rapid regeneration of normalized epithelium. The present study evaluated the feasibility, safety and efficacy of BR in CB patients. Methods: Prospective, multi-center study enrolling 32 patients who underwent BR under general anesthesia. Right-sided airways were treated first; the left side was treated one month later. Follow-up through 6 months included assessment of adverse events and changes in symptoms and quality of life (QOL) using the St. George’s Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) and COPD Assessment Test (CAT). Results: Bronchial rheoplasty was successfully performed in all 32 patients (62.5% male, mean age 67, post-BD FEV1 64.1±20.8%, SGRQ 59.4±15.0). Respiratory serious adverse events through 6-months included COPD exacerbation (4 patients), mucosal sail (1 patient), pleural effusion (1 patient), and unrelated lung cancer (1 patient). Mean changes from baseline to 6 months in SGRQ and CAT scores were -14.0±3.4 points (p Conclusion: This study provides clinical evidence of the feasibility, safety and clinical performance of BR in symptomatic CB patients. The results suggest that BR may provide improvement in symptoms and QOL for this patient population.","PeriodicalId":93455,"journal":{"name":"Interventional pulmonology (Middletown, Del.)","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91229789","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In our centre we use Rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE), which is performed by our Cytopathology team comprising a trained Biomedical Scientist and, a Cytopathologist, allows rapid assessment of adequacy, provisional diagnosis and appropriate triage of EBUS/EUS specimens. We have audited our data in our centre since the establishment of EBUS/EUS TBNA and ROSE. Methods and Results: We present here a cohort of patients with suspected lung malignancy who underwent EBUS /EUS TBNA and ROSE in our centre between from October 2013 to June 2018. A total of 295 aspirates sites from 249 patients with suspected lung malignancy were collected during this period. Mean number passes for diagnoses on ROSE was 1.4 and mean number of total nodal passes was 3.2. Mean number of nodal sites biopsied per patient was 1.18. In 253 aspirates, malignancy was confirmed as per initial ROSE assessment. 34 aspirates were suggestive of malignancy, 4 aspirates were equivocal and 4 were assessed as benign, and the final outcome of these aspirates were malignant on cell block. 26 of these patients had Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) of cytological samples and we had a success rate of 21 /26 ( 77%). 5 patient had repeat procedure for molecular analysis. Conclusion: EBUS/EUS with ROSE is effective in achieving diagnoses with fewer needle passes and reduces inadequate rate and therefore the need for repeat procedures. The samples obtained with the aid of ROSE can be maximised so that the majority of the sample can be made into a cell block for further studies.","PeriodicalId":93455,"journal":{"name":"Interventional pulmonology (Middletown, Del.)","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88575435","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: Three-year retrospective study with 372 patients with clinical and/or radiological suspicion of TB that underwent bronchoscopy.

BAL samples were submitted to microbiological and cytological analysis, whereas BB and TBLB samples were presented to mycobacterial examination and culture and histopathological examination. Results: Of the 372 patients, 161 (43.3%) were diagnosed by bronchoscopy subsidiaries techniques: bacterial and fungal infections in 95 (25.5%); pulmonary tuberculosis in 48 (12.9%); lung cancer in 9 (2.4%); non-infectious granulomatous disease in 6 (1.6%); and nontuberculous mycobacterial infections in 3 (0.8%). In the TB group (n=48), BAL was diagnostic in 46 patients (44 positive BAL culture and 2 positive PCR test); BB where positive in 7 cases and TBLB in 5 cases. All patients with positive BB had bronchial mucosa abnormalities and in 2 patients it was the only positive result for TB. BB and BPTB accounted for 7 and 18 alternative results, respectively. Minor post-procedure complications occurred in only 1.9% of the cases.

We report on the 6 & 12-month results of the AATD arm of the EMPROVE study. 20 AATD subjects on optimal medical management with hyperinflation, severe dyspnea were treated with SVS valves at 12 centers. Target lobe selection was done using high resolution computed tomography. Targeted lobe was a lower lobe in 85% and an upper lobe in 15% of patients. A mean of 4.4 valves per patient were used to isolate the target lobe, with an average procedure time of 20 minutes. Results are presented as baseline and mean changes in FEV1, Target Lobe Volume (TLV), disease specific quality of life measures – St. George’s Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ), modified Medical Research Council dyspnea score (mMRC), and COPD Assessment Test (CAT) and exercise capacity measured by 6-minute walk distance (6MWD). Changes at 6 and 12 months are shown in table 1. Through 12-months, there was one death. Most frequent serious adverse events were COPD exacerbation (15%), pneumonia (15%) and pneumothorax (20%).
