EBUS-IFB vs EBUS-TBNA for Adenopathy by choudhury.anubhav is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This meta-analysis investigates the diagnostic yield and complications of combined endobronchial ultrasound-guided intranodal forceps biopsy (EBUS-IFB) and EBUS-transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) versus EBUS-TBNA alone for intrathoracic adenopathy. The results indicate that the combination approach significantly improves diagnostic yield (92% vs 67%) while presenting a slightly higher complication rate. The study concludes that EBUS-IFB is beneficial for comprehensive molecular testing, particularly in
