NCT01784185

Brief Summary

The study has been designed to evaluate the clinical application of the new virtual bronchoscopy (VB) -based system for transbronchial sampling of the mediastinal masses or enlarged lymph nodes. The software uses data from thorax CT scan and enables airway segmentation and reconstruction simultaneously with predefined mediastinal targets. The most suitable sites for transbronchial needle aspiration are displayed on the internal surface of the airways showed in VB mode. The diagnostic yield of the new system-assisted TBNA will be compared to the reference method (EBUS-TBNA). The study group includes patients with mediastinal mass or lymph node enlargement in whom diagnostic bronchoscopy and TBNA can be applied as diagnostic methods. Both, virtual bronchoscopy guided transbronchial needle aspiration (VB-TBNA) and EBUS-TBNA of the mediastinal targets are performed during the same diagnostic bronchoscopy. Cytologic material from VB-TBNA and EBUS-TBNA is evaluated by two independent pathologists blinded to the method used to obtain the sample. Diagnostic yield and adequacy of aspirates obtained with the two methods will be assessed and compared.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Adequacy of cytologic specimens collected by VB-TBNA vs. EBUS-TBNA

    Comparison of the quality and adequacy of the cytologic specimens (in terms of lymphocyte percentage, the presence of neoplastic cells and dust-laden macrophages) collected by VB-TBNA vs. EBUS-TBNA in patients with mediastinal mass or mediastinal lymph node enlargement

    Approximately five days after the procedure, when the results of the cytological examination will be available

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Diagnostic accuracy of VB-TBNA vs. EBUS-TBNA - the number (and percentage) of cytologic specimens containing diagnostic material (neoplastic cells, granulomas)

    up to 8 months

Other Outcomes (1)

  • Number of patients with local complications of VB-TBNA

    During VB-TBNA and EBUS-TBNA procedure

Study Arms (1)

virtual bronchoscopy guided transbronchial needle aspiration

EXPERIMENTAL

virtual bronchoscopy guided transbronchial needle aspiration (VB-TBNA)(experimental method) and EBUS-TBNA (reference method) are performed in the same diagnostic session

Procedure: virtual bronchoscopy guided transbronchial needle aspirationProcedure: endobronchial ultrasound guided transbronchial needle aspiration

Interventions

Also known as: VB-TBNA
virtual bronchoscopy guided transbronchial needle aspiration

endobronchial ultrasound guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) of mediastinal lesions

Also known as: EBUS-TBNA

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • provided informed consent
  • mediastinal mass or lymph node enlargement that requires bronchoscopy and transbronchial sampling
  • quality of the CT scan which allows bronchial tree and mediastinal target segmentation and reconstruction

You may not qualify if:

  • Age below 18 years
  • known contraindications for bronchoscopy and/or mediastinal sampling, e.g. coagulation disorders
