Inclusion Criteria

  • •Age >18 years old;
  • •Enlargement of at least one intrathoracic LN (short diameter > 1 cm) or central parenchymal lung lesions adjacent to the airway detected on chest CT, or increased fluorodeoxyglucose uptake in at least one intrathoracic lymph node on PET / CT (standardized uptake value > 2.5);
  • •CP-EBUS-TBNA is required to determine the diagnosis or staging, the patient agreed to undergo CE-EBUS, and there were no contraindications to EBUS-TBNA;
  • •Patients who have good compliance and sign informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria

  • •Patients with known hypersensitivity to ultrasound contrast components;
  • •Patients with severe pulmonary hypertension (pulmonary artery pressure > 90 mmHg);
  • •Patients with angina pectoris, acute coronary syndrome, clinically unstable ischemic heart disease, heart failure, cardiac dysfunction, and cardiac disease with right-to-left shunting;
  • •Patients with uncontrolled essential hypertension and adults with respiratory distress syndrome;
  • •Pregnant or lactating women;
  • •Patients with contraindications to bronchoscopy;
  • •Patients with other conditions that, in the opinion of the investigator, make the patient unsuitable for the study.

Arms & Interventions

Contrast-Enhanced Endobronchial Ultrasound

Experimental

Intervention: Contrast-enhanced endobronchial ultrasound (Device)

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Diagnostic accuracy of CE-EBUS in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant intrathoracic lymphadenopathy

Time Frame: 6 month post-procedure

Diagnostic accuracy is defined as the number of lesions correctly identified as malignant or benign divided by the total number of lesions using CE-EBUS interpretation criteria.

Diagnostic accuracy of CE-EBUS in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant intrapulmonary lesions

Time Frame: 6 month post-procedure

Diagnostic accuracy was defined as the number of lesions correctly identified as malignant or benign divided by the total number of lesions using the CE-EBUS interpretation criteria.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of CE-EBUS in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant intrathoracic lymphadenopathy(6 months post-procedure)
  • Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of CE-EBUS in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant intrapulmonary lesions(6 months post-procedure)
