Abstract

Sampling aortopulmonary window lymph nodes is technically challenging and often requires surgical approaches. We report a minimally invasive robotic-assisted transbronchial biopsy of AP window lymph nodes using cone-beam CT guidance, enabling diagnosis of small cell lung cancer without surgical mediastinal biopsy.
