Thin-EBUS in Ex-vivo Human Lungs

University Health Network, Toronto

Status: Completed

Details and patient eligibility

About

This study will determine the feasibility of the novel thin convex probe endobronchial ultrasound (TCP-EBUS) in human resected lobes. The primary end point is to clarify the feasibility of using the thin convex probe EBUS scope to visualize lung tumors from an intra-bronchial view. The secondary objective is to evaluate the insertion ability, operability, endoscopic image and ultrasound image compared to that of the convex probe EBUS.
