Core Tip

Core tip: Transbronchial ultrasound-guided sheath-guided exploration and virtual bronchoscopic navigation improve the rate of diagnosis of pulmonary peripheral lesions. We discuss the role of virtual bronchoscopy navigation in combination with the transbronchial ultrasound-guided sheath-guided exploration technique in the diagnosis of peripheral lung cancer.
