Vet Radiol Ultrasound 2023; 64:936-944. [PMID: 37461325 DOI: 10.1111/vru.13277] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2022] [Revised: 05/25/2023] [Accepted: 05/29/2023] [Indexed: 09/14/2023] Open
Abstract
Modifications of splenic parenchyma are common ultrasonographic findings in dogs. Splenic fine needle aspiration (FNA) is a rapid, safe procedure, routinely performed in veterinary institutions. However, 22-gauge (G) needle usually reported is selected according to general practice and the most appropriate needle size to be used remains unclear. The aim of this prospective, single-center, methods comparison study was to assess the effect of needle size on cytologic specimens' evaluation and animal welfare during the procedure. Dogs underwent ultrasound-guided splenic FNA using 23, 25, and 27G needles. Needles were compared based on initial and then detailed cytologic evaluation. The initial evaluation assessed overall cellularity, cell preservation, hemodilution, and detailed cytologic evaluation referred to exhaustive splenic components. Welfare evaluation was performed based on a scoring system. A total of 54 dogs were included in this study with 54 of 54 welfare evaluations and 35 of 54 cytologic evaluations by one or two European College of Veterinary Clinical Pathology-certified cytologists. The final cytologic diagnosis was unchanged regardless of the needle size. For the initial evaluation, 23G needles provided significantly higher cellularity than the 27G needles. For detailed cytologic evaluation, only the richness in mesothelial cells and stroma was affected by needle size. Pain induced by the procedures was considered low using 23, 25, and 27G needles with the 27G needle producing the least adverse reactions. Findings from the current study supported using needle gauges smaller than the previously published standard 22G needle for spleen ultrasound-guided fine needle nonaspiration in dogs. Due to higher cellularity and lower pain scores, authors recommend the use of 23G needles with a nonaspiration technique.

Abstract
Recently, a certain volume of biopsy specimens has been required for genetic testing of tumors using endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA). This study aimed to verify the superiority of our newly devised EBUS-TBNA biopsy technique, the "cross-fanning technique," which combines rotation and up-down maneuvers, by comparing its harvest volume with that of other maneuvers. Using a bronchoscope simulator, ultrasonic bronchoscope, and 21-gauge puncture needle, we compared the weight of silicone biopsy specimens obtained by the following 4 procedures: Conventional maneuver; Up-down maneuver; Rotation maneuver, and; Cross-fanning technique. Each procedure was repeated 24 times in total, rotating the sequences of the maneuvers, and the operator/assistant pair to align the conditions. The means ± standard deviations of the sample volumes for each puncture technique were as follows: 2.8 ± 1.2 mg; 3.1 ± 1.6 mg; 3.7 ± 1.2 mg, and; 3.9 ± 1.2 mg. There was a significant difference between the 4 groups (P = .024). The post hoc test showed a statistically significant difference between techniques A and D (P = .019). This study showed that the cross-fanning technique might contribute to the increased volume of tissue samples obtained by EBUS-TBNA biopsy.

Abstract
Since 2005, endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) has emerged as a standard pulmonological tool. The procedure is safe and well tolerated by patients, with minimal morbidity and almost no mortality. A previous review on the technique was published in 2012. However, over the last ten years, a number of new studies have been published on "benign" (sarcoidosis, tuberculosis…) as well as "malignant" diseases (lung cancer, metastases of extra-thoracic cancers, search for mutations and specific oncogenic markers…). These developments have led to expanded indications for EBUS-TBNA, with which it is indispensable to be familiar, in terms of "staging" as well as "diagnosis". In view of optimizing lymph node sampling, several publications have described and discussed EBUS exploration by means of newly available tools (biopsy forceps, larger needles…), and proposed interpretation of the images thereby produced. Given the ongoing evolution of linear EBUS, it seemed indispensable that information on this marvelous tool be updated. This review is aimed at summarizing the novel elements we have found the most important.

Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14215355. [PMID: 36358774 PMCID: PMC9658474 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14215355] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2022] [Revised: 10/26/2022] [Accepted: 10/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) features with B-, power/color Doppler, and elastography modes help differentiate between benign and malignant lymph nodes (MLNs) during transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA); however, only few studies have assessed them simultaneously. We evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of each EBUS feature and aimed to establish a scoring system to predict MLNs. EBUS features of consecutive patients and final diagnosis per lymph node (LN) were examined retrospectively. In total, 594 LNs from 301 patients were analyzed. Univariable analyses revealed that EBUS features, except for round shape, could differentiate MLNs from benign LNs. Multivariable analysis revealed that short axis (>1 cm), heterogeneous echogenicity, absence of central hilar structure, presence of coagulation necrosis sign, and blue-dominant elastographic images were independent predictors of MLNs. At three or more EBUS features predicting MLNs, our scoring system had high sensitivity (77.9%) and specificity (91.8%). The area under the receiver operating curve (AUC) was 0.894 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.868−0.920), which was higher than that of B-mode features alone (AUC: 0.840 (95% CI: 0.807−0.873)). The novel scoring system could predict MLNs more accurately than B-mode features alone. Multi-EBUS features may increase EBUS-TBNA efficiency for LN evaluation.

Diagnostics (Basel) 2021; 11:diagnostics11122331. [PMID: 34943566 PMCID: PMC8699961 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics11122331] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2021] [Revised: 12/05/2021] [Accepted: 12/06/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Since the endobronchial ultrasound bronchoscope was introduced to clinical practice, endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) has become the procedure of choice to sample hilar and mediastinal adenopathy. Multiple studies have been conducted in the last two decades to look at the different technical aspects of the procedure and their effects on the final cytopathological yield. In addition, newer modes of ultrasound scanning and newer tools with the potential to optimize the selection and sampling of the target lymph node have been introduced. These have the potential to reduce the number of passes, reduce the procedure time, and increase the diagnostic yield, especially in rare tumors and benign diseases. Herein, we review the latest updates related to the technical aspects of EBUS-TBNA and their effects on the final cytopathological yield in malignant and benign diseases.
