Metered Cryospray (RejuvenAir® System) is a novel procedure delivering liquid N2 to the bronchial airways to target mucus overproduction, ablate abnormal epithelium, reduce chronic airway inflammation and promote regeneration of a healthy mucosal lining. Methods: This is a prospective, multicenter single-arm study of CB patients with an FEV1 of 30-80% predicted. Primary outcomes were safety and feasibility; secondary outcomes, SGRQ and 6MWT, were measured. Results: We included 35 subjects with Gold Grade II (31.4%) and III (68.6%) COPD (mean age 67.2+7.0 years, FEV1% 50.2±14.5, 54% male). Full treatment was accomplished of intended lobes with median times of 34 (right lower), 30 (left lower) and 41 minutes (upper lobes + trachea) during 3 separate outpatient visits. Approximately 1800 doses of MCS were delivered without inducing pneumothorax or unanticipated device-related serious adverse events (SAEs). Efficacy data showed clinically meaningful improvements of SGRQ-symptom score of -9.5±22.0 (95% CI; -17.7 to -1.3; p=0.025), SGRQ-impact score of -10.2±19.4 (95% CI: -17.5 to -3.0; p=0.007) and SGRQ-total score of -7.9±16.8 (95% CI: -14.2 to -1.6; p=0.008); most pronounced when baseline SGRQ-total ≥50 points (n=19). 6MWT significantly improved by 28 meters (95% CI: 3.0 to 62.0; Wilcoxon signed rank, p=0.034; n=25). Conclusions: These data indicate MCS treatment is safe, feasible and associated with clinically significant improvements in health-related quality of life in COPD patients with CB over 9 months.","PeriodicalId":93455,"journal":{"name":"Interventional pulmonology (Middletown, Del.)","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73251323","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}

Introduction: morphological diagnosis of lymphadenopathy of the mediastinum by aspiration biopsy data presents known difficulties. The search for specific endosonographic patterns for the diagnosis of mediastinal lymph node pathology is relevant. Objective: to study the role of endosonographic patterns in the differential diagnosis of the mediastinal lymphadenopathy. Material and methods: prospective non-randomized one-center. Duration of the study: 01/01/2017 - 12/31/2017. Inclusion criteria: patients with lymphadenopathy of the mediastinum, age over 18 years, the absence of any verified cancer and tuberculosis in history, the patient’s consent to the inclusion. Exclusion criteria: the presence of contraindications to general anesthesia, the refusal to conduct the study. In accordance with the inclusion criteria, 29 patients were enrolled in the study, who underwent endobronchial sonography with subsequent analysis of endosonographic scans by the modified scheme Lei Wang, 2015. Results: as a result of statistical analysis, none of the analyzed factors had a significant effect on the form of the pathological lymphatic lesion, or on the result of the biopsy.

Our aim was to assess results obtained and factors associated with improved diagnostic yield. All patients who underwent EBUS-TBNA at MDH were included and data was collected retrospectively. 71 EBUS TBNA procedures were performed on 70 patients. Sensitivity for malignancy was 93% (40/43) and sensitivity for granulomatous disease was 72% (16/22). The overall diagnostic sensitivity was 84.5% (60/71). Sampling multiple stations as opposed to a single station was associated with a better histology diagnostic yield (90.3% vs 60% p=0.004) as well as a better yield on cytology (83.9% vs 50% p=0.003). It also led to an improved overall combined diagnostic yield (93.5% vs 77.5%) although this narrowly missed statistical significance (p=0.06). Targeting multiple stations also correlated with obtaining an adequate histology sample (96.8% vs 82.5% p=0.05). This effect was even more pronounced for granulomatous disease with improved diagnostic histology yield (100% vs 43.8% p=0.005) diagnostic cytology yield (89% vs 25% p=0.002) and overall combined diagnostic yield (100% vs 62.5% p=0.035) Increasing lesion size was predictive of obtaining an adequate tissue sample (p=0.03) histology diagnostic yield (p=0.05) and overall diagnostic yield (p=0.04) but there was no correlation between lesion size and yield on cytology (p=0.389).

Confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) enables real-time microscopic analysis during endososonography. CLE criteria of malignant lymph nodes have been proposed but are lacking for granulomas. Aim: To identify CLE criteria for real-time in-vivo recognition of granulomas on CLE imaging during endosonography (EUS). Methods: In patients with suspected sarcoidosis stage I-II, mediastinal lymph nodes were imaged with CLE through a 19 G needle in-vivo under EUS control, followed by fine needle aspiration. CLE videos were reviewed and compared to the final diagnoses based on cytology and clinical-radiological follow-up. Results: EUS-nCLE-FNA was performed in 17 patients (n=16 sarcoidosis, n=1 tuberculosis) and 29 lymph nodes were imaged. No adverse events occurred. On CLE imaging the granulomas appeared like oval, well-demarcated, lighter-toned lesions (Figure). Tuberculoid necrosis could be identified on CLE as a loss of contact signal. Conclusion: In suspected sarcoidosis patients, real-time in-vivo EUS-guided nCLE imaging is feasible and safe. Granulomas show a distinct CLE pattern different from malignant CLE-criteria previously described. nCLE provides real-time pathology feedback and can therefore potentially improve diagnostics of mediastinal and lung lesions.","PeriodicalId":93455,"journal":{"name":"Interventional pulmonology (Middletown, Del.)","volume":"96 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82555783","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}
