New Study Shows Virtual Bronchoscopic Navigation With Fused Fluoroscopy and Vessel Mapping Using Broncus Archimedes System is Safe and Effective in Obtaining High Biopsy Yield in Lung Tumors
Excerpt from the Press Release:
SAN JOSE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Broncus Medical (02216HK), Inc., developer of diagnostic and therapeutic technology for a variety of lung diseases, today announced online publication in the Respirology journal of a global, multicenter study demonstrating the effectiveness of the company’s Archimedes® Virtual Bronchoscopic Navigation (VBN) System in guiding the sampling of peripheral pulmonary lesions.
The prospective, single-arm, multicenter study of 104 patients studied biopsy yield (biopsy forceps and/or needle), sampling yield (including cytologic sampling) and diagnostic yield using the Archimedes System to guide bronchoscopic transparenchymal nodule access (BTPNA) and guided transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA). The global study took place at:
- U.S. – Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Cancer Treatment Centers of America at Southwestern Regional Medical Center, Duke University, Houston Methodist Hospital, Temple University Hospital, University of Pennsylvania
- China – The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, Shanghai Chest Hospital
- Germany – ThoraxKlinik
- Hong Kong – Hong Kong Sanatorium and Hospital
The study’s authors concluded that, “BTPNA and TBNA contribute to safe and effective sampling of peripheral pulmonary lesions. A relatively high biopsy yield was obtained independent of the presence or absence of a bronchus sign, and high sampling yield and diagnostic yield were obtained independent of location, lesion size and presence or absence of a broncus sign.”
