Search for: [Abstract = "nostic yield of combined biopsy method \(TBNA followed with EBBB\) but improvement was statistically non\-significant \(for sensitivity, accuracy and NPV P=0.16\).No relevant complications were observed. Conclusions Mini\-probe EBUS guided biopsy is valuable tool in diagnosis of peripheral lung lesions. Its yield is comparable with TBLB, and seems to be safer considering risk of pneumothorax. Performing EBBB after a needle biopsy should be limited to selected cases of peribronchial lesions. Presented diagnostic method allowed to reduce in easy and safe way necessity of more invasive and more risky diagnostic procedures in ca. 45% of patients."]
