Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Number of Participants With Treatment-related Adverse Events as Assessed by CTCAE v4.0

    The patient will be monitored while in the hospital by their thoracic surgical team as well as by two research nurses named Lauren Donahue, RN and Karen Magsipoc, NP. The research nurses will document any perioperative complications and mortality that arise during the patient's stay in the hospital.

    30 days

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Patients Underwent a Successful Resection

    30 days

Study Arms (1)

CT Marking and VATS lung wedge resection

EXPERIMENTAL

Each patient with a lung nodule meeting criteria will undergo marking with fiducials followed at the same time by Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery (VATS) lung wedge resection under CT fluoroscopy.

Procedure: Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery (VATS) wedge resection

Interventions

Also known as: Nodules marked with fiducials such as Kopan needles under CT fluoroscopy followed by VATS wedge resection.
