Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic yield of endobronchial ultrasound with guide-sheath (EBUS-GS) plus fluoroscopy or fluoroscopy alone to diagnose the peripheral lung lesion (PPL) greater than 20 mm. Methods: Between Jan.2015 and Dec.2016, patients with PPLs large than 20 mm of diameter who underwent the transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) guided by EBUS-GS plus fluoroscopy (EBUS-XRF group) or fluoroscopy alone (XRF group) at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University. The diagnostic yield and its influencing factors in patients of EBUS-XRF group were compared with those in patients of XRF group. Results: A total of 740 patients were enrolled including 399 cases in EBUS-XRF group and 341 cases in XRF group were analyzed.There was a signi?cant difference in the diagnostic yield between EBUS-XRF group (81.2%) and XRF group (74.5%) (P=0.028).When PPLs were located in the right upper lobe, the diagnostic yield was significantly higher in EBUS-XRF group than it in XRF group (86.3% vs. 75.0%, P=0.035).The size of PPLs was positive correlation with the diagnostic yield of EBUS-XRF group (r=0.989, P=0.011), but there was no relationship between the size of PPLs and the diagnostic yield in XRF group (r=0.239, P=0.761). Conclusion: EBUS-GS plus fluoroscopy was superior to X-ray fluoroscopy alone for the diagnosis of PPLs greater than 20 mm. It is also worthwhile to apply EBUS-GS for larger PPLs.
