Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To investigate the safety and efficacy of ultrafine cryoprobe biopsy by electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy compared with biopsy forceps in the diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary nodules in a national multicenter randomized controlled trial

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This project intends to carry out a national multicenter randomized controlled study, with traditional forceps biopsy as the control group and cryobiopsy as the experimental group, to verify the feasibility, effectiveness and safety of electromagnetic navigation bronchoscope-guided cryobiopsy in the diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary nodules, so as to provide an efficient and minimally invasive diagnostic method for the diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary nodules

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. age 18 to 90 years;
2. pulmonary nodules detected by chest CT, suspected malignant nodules or unknown cause should be confirmed by biopsy;
3. chest CT showed that the nodule was located in the segmental bronchus and below, and the maximum diameter of the nodule was 8 mm to 30 mm.It was not accessible by conventional bronchoscopy;
4. if chest CT showed multiple pulmonary nodules, one of the pulmonary nodules was selected as the target lesion.

Exclusion Criteria

1. contraindications to the bronchoscopy procedure;
2. high risk of bleeding, such as bronchial artery penetration or suspected lung metastasis of renal cell carcinoma;
3. electromagnetic source implanted in the body;
4. contraindications to anesthesia;
5. pregnant woman;
6. participated in other studies within three months and did not withdraw or finish, affect the observation of this study;
7. inability or unwillingness to provide informed consent or comply with the follow-up schedule.
