Core Tip
Core Tip: Electromagnetic navigational bronchoscopy-guided transbronchial lung biopsy is used to diagnose and treat pulmonary disorders in adults worldwide, but very few were reported in children. Moreover, diagnosing patients with peripheral lung lesions is still challenging, due to difficulties related to existing biopsy procedures. Here we present a case study conducted in China that demonstrated that electromagnetic navigational bronchoscopy-guided transbronchial lung biopsy is safe and effective when used to diagnose pediatric patients afflicted with peripheral pulmonary lesion-inducing disorders. Ultimately, clinicians adopting this procedure will be able to diagnose pulmonary disease cases without subjecting patients to invasive and risky surgical interventions.
