July 10, 2018 updated by: Kaid Darwiche, University Hospital, Essen

Comparison of the Diagnostic Yield Between Various Endobronchial Ultrasound-guided-transbronchial Needles (EBUS-TBN) to Evaluate Suspect Mediastinal and Hilar Lymph Nodes

Investigators intend to compare the 19-gauge needle and the 22-gauge-needle during EBUS-TBNA concerning the diagnostic yield, the quality and quantity of each biopsy needle without raising the rate of complications.
