This is fun! I now have my very own BOBBLE HEAD such a thoughtful gift (and way cooler than the balloons and banners that we all see on X) from Brooke Holloway @IntuitiveSurg for reaching my 100th ION #roboticbronchoscopy case @ascenstthomas Thank you Brooke such a cool 🎁 Would love to tag the @Etsy creator who crafted this. ps. Yes my diagnostic yield is 110% like everyone else’s on X #ionbyintuitive

Honored to be invited by the Association of Interventional Pulmonology Program Directors (AIPPD) to speak at the 9th Annual #InterventionalPulmonology Fellows Career Symposium. This incredible milestone marks the culmination of 14-16 years of intense education and training for these talented physicians. As they prepare to transition into their first “real job” in July, they carry with them not only exceptional skills but also the responsibility to shape the future of interventional pulmonology. To this graduating class: Embrace the challenges, stay committed to lifelong learning, and never lose sight of the your patients. The work you do and example you set will not only save lives and relive suffering but may also inspire others to follow in your footsteps. Congratulations! Welcome to greatest specialty!

To follow up since #VERITAS results have been presented and published in abstract. Navigational #bronchoscopy with the #illumisite system was non-inferior to CT guided TTNA in a multi center RCT for diagnosis of lung nodules and had a much lower complications rate. First time these have been studied in randomized fashion. Between 8/2021 and 6/2023, 258 patients at seven U.S. sites were randomized and 234 underwent biopsy procedures (Figure 1). Median nodule size was 15 mm (IQR 12-19); 88% (n=205) were in the peripheral third, 82% (n=193) were solid, and 33% (n=78) exhibited a bronchus sign. The primary outcome of diagnostic accuracy wi l be available Summer 2024. Per impending ATS consensus statement, diagnostic yield wi l be the recommended primary endpoint for diagnostic bronchoscopy studies. Accordingly, diagnostic yield, available now, is described below along with safety. NB was diagnostic in 92 of 121 patients (76%) while CT-TTNB was diagnostic in 86 of 113 (76%). The probability that NB was noninferior to CT-TTNB is 97%, exceeding the noninferiority threshold. Complications occurred in 31% of CT-TTNB (n=35) and 5.8% of NB procedures (n=7) (p<0.001). These included PTX requiring tube thoracostomy (8.8%, n=10 vs 0.8%, n=1), PTX not requiring thoracostomy (19.5%, n=22, vs. 2.5%, n=3), and hemorrhage (2.7%, n=3, vs. 0).

Will this be a win for guided peripheral #bronchoscopy or not? It’s the first RCT comparing bronchoscopy to ct guided TTNA! #pccm #lungcancer #thoracicsurgery #irad @iPulmOG @AAB_IP #ATS2024
