Abstract
OBJECTIVE. To study the effectiveness of Endobronchial Ultrasonography (EBUS) with Guide Sheath (GS) in detecting peripheral lung lesions.
MATERIALS AND METHODS. Between January and March 2011, 8 patients gave their informed consent to EBUS with GS being performed.
RESULTS. In 7 patients (87.5%) EBUS detected the PPLs.
CONCLUSION. EBUS is a useful and accurate tool for diagnosis of PPL.
