Exploring the left behind: unheard complication of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA)
Abstract Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) guided transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) is a widely used procedure in interventional pulmonology, known for its diagnostic accuracy and low complication rates. We report a rare complication of EBUS-TBNA involving the damage of the TBNA needle during sa...

| description | Abstract Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) guided transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) is a widely used procedure in interventional pulmonology, known for its diagnostic accuracy and low complication rates. We report a rare complication of EBUS-TBNA involving the damage of the TBNA needle during sampling of a mediastinal lymph node, resulting in an impacted needle spring in the airway. Despite its rarity, awareness of such potential issues is crucial for all practitioners performing EBUS-TBNA to ensure patient safety and optimal outcomes. |
