Overview
Brief Summary
This is a single-center pilot study at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the TCP-EBUS scope (Thin EBUS). This study will consist of a standard of care bronchoscopy and will be followed for approximately 3 months. While the device is not FDA approved, it is the same technology but a thinner version of the SCP-EBUS bronchoscope.
