Robotic-Assisted Versus Conventional Bronchoscopy for Cryobiopsy in the Diagnosis of Interstitial Lung Disease: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Summary: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) often requires histopathological confirmation when high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) findings are inconclusive. Transbronchial lung cryobiopsy has emerged as a less invasive alternative to surgical lung biopsy, but diagnostic yield remains variable and dependent on biopsy location and procedural precision. Robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (RAB) combined with c...
Robotic-Assisted Bronchoscopy Versus Ultrathin Bronchoscope Combined With Virtual Bronchoscopic Navigation for the Diagnosis of Peripheral Pulmonary Nodules: A Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized Controlled，Non-inferiority Clinical Study
Summary: The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether the diagnostic yield of robotic-assisted bronchoscopy is not inferior to that of the virtual bronchoscopic navigation combined with ultrathin bronchoscopy.
Shape-sensing Robotic-assisted Bronchoscopy (ssRAB) for Diagnosis of Peripheral Pulmonary Nodules: A Prospective Cohort Study in Korea (the ULSAN-ION Study)
Summary: What is this study about? This study tests a new robotic technology to take tissue samples from lung nodules (small spots in the lungs). Some lung nodules are cancer, but doctors need a tissue sample to know for sure. What is the problem? Current methods to get tissue from lung nodules only work about 7 out of 10 times. When they don't work, doctors may need riskier procedures. What is the new tec...
Operator Radiation Exposure During Image-Guided Robotic-Assisted Bronchoscopy: A Multicenter Prospective Cohort Study
Summary: This is a multicenter, single-arm, prospective, observational study designed to evaluate bronchoscopist radiation exposure during standard-of-care image-guided robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (RAB) for sampling of a single pulmonary parenchymal lesion.
Robotic-assisted Bronchoscopy Under Moderate Sedation With Propofol: A Single-center Pilot Study.
Summary: In this study, the investigators want to find out whether robot-assisted bronchoscopy also works with moderate sedation (Propofol), as is already used in standard bronchoscopies. The study is being conducted as a pilot study. This means that it is an initial test run for a scientific investigation. The investigators are testing on a small scale whether the intervention works as predicted before a ...
An Observational Prospective Study on the Safety and Feasibility of Deep Sedation Under Proceduralist Direction With Pre-emptive Endotracheal Intubation for Advanced Bronchoscopy Procedures
Summary: Bronchoscopy is crucial for diagnosing and treating respiratory diseases and is recommended under sedation. Deep sedation improves patient comfort and procedural efficiency, especially in complex cases, by reducing movement and coughing. However, it carries risks of respiratory depression and airway obstruction, potentially requiring premature termination or urgent intubation. Determining the opti...
The SEQUENCE Trial: Should Endobronchial Ultrasound QUeue bEfore or eNsuing to robotiC-assisted Bronchoscopy for pEripheral Pulmonary Nodule Biopsy? A Patient Randomized Control Trial Assessing the Effect of the Ordering of Robotic-assisted Bronchoscopy and Linear EBUS During the Same Anesthesia Event on Diagnostic Yield From Peripheral Pulmonary Nodule Biopsy
Summary: Robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (RaB) has afforded proceduralists the ability to accurately reach the periphery of the lung for biopsy of pulmonary nodules1. This has paved the way for patients to undergo both biopsy of a peripheral nodule and a staging linear endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) in the same anesthesia event, promoting quicker throughput from discovery of a lesion to guideline-adherent t...
