The feasibility of using the “artery sign” for pre-procedural planning in navigational bronchoscopy for parenchymal pulmonary lesion sampling

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    Recognizing that the branches of the pulmonary artery, lymphatics, and airways are often present together as the bronchovascular bundle in pulmonary lobular anatomy, the authors postulate that a branch of the pulmonary artery leading towards the pulmonary lesion ("artery sign") could be used similarly when a "bronchus sign" is absent. The authors aim to describe the feasibility and safety of using the "artery sign" as a surrogate of "bronchus sign" to successfully create a path to a target lesion for PPL sampling. The authors believe that planning by using the "artery sign" may improve . . .
