An International Survey of Practices in the Investigation and Endoscopic Treatment of Peripheral Pulmonary Lesions amongst Interventional Bronchoscopists.

Abstract

The investigation of peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs) can be challenging. Several bronchoscopic modalities have been developed to reach and biopsy PPL but the level of adoption of these techniques by interventional pulmonologists (IPs) is unknown. This international survey was conducted to describe current practices in PPL investigation among IP.
