Résumé
Our aims were to explore the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of peroperative transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) guided by electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB) and ENB-guided methylene blue marking of presumably non-palpable pulmonary nodules, and to assess its impact on video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and postoperative lung function. This approach was applied to 16 consecutive patients (Group A, mean age 64 years) who were compared retrospectively to a historical group of 49 patients (Group B, mean age 62 years) with similar nodules resected without guidance. The usefulness of dye marking was graded. The success rates of both ENB-guided TBLC and nodule localization through dye marking were computed. The type of resection, volume of resected parenchyma, duration of procedures, and postoperative lung function were compared between groups. Unpaired t-test, chi-square test, unpaired Wilcoxon test, and exact Fisher test were used when appropriate. Malignancy was pathologically proven in all patients. TBLC revealed malignancy in 9 patients in Group A. The success rate of ENB-guided dye marking was 94%. Lobectomy was less frequently performed in Group A than in Group B (p = 0.022). Forced expiratory volume in 1 s and total lung capacity were significantly less reduced in Group A than in Group B (p = 0.006 and p = 0.019, respectively). Combined procedure was longer than surgery alone (p<0.001), but its surgical part was shorter than VATS without guidance (p < 0.001). Peroperative ENB-guided TBLC with methylene blue marking of non-palpable lung nodules is feasible. A sparing lung parenchyma procedure could be achieved thanks to the ENB-guided dye marking before VATS.

Our aims were to explore the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of peroperative transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) guided by electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB) and ENB-guided methylene blue marking of presumably non-palpable pulmonary nodules, and to assess its impact on video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and postoperative lung function.

METHODS
This approach was applied to 16 consecutive patients (Group A, mean age 64 years) who were compared retrospectively to a historical group of 49 patients (Group B, mean age 62 years) with similar nodules resected without guidance. The usefulness of dye marking was graded. The success rates of both ENB-guided TBLC and nodule localization through dye marking were computed. The type of resection, volume of resected parenchyma, duration of procedures, and postoperative lung function were compared between groups. Unpaired t-test, chi-square test, unpaired Wilcoxon test, and exact Fisher test were used when appropriate.
RESULTS
RESULTS
Malignancy was pathologically proven in all patients. TBLC revealed malignancy in 9 patients in Group A. The success rate of ENB-guided dye marking was 94%. Lobectomy was less frequently performed in Group A than in Group B (p = 0.022). Forced expiratory volume in 1 s and total lung capacity were significantly less reduced in Group A than in Group B (p = 0.006 and p = 0.019, respectively). Combined procedure was longer than surgery alone (p<0.001), but its surgical part was shorter than VATS without guidance (p < 0.001).
CONCLUSION
CONCLUSIONS
Peroperative ENB-guided TBLC with methylene blue marking of non-palpable lung nodules is feasible. A sparing lung parenchyma procedure could be achieved thanks to the ENB-guided dye marking before VATS.
