Abstract

Small pulmonary lesions can be difficult to localize during video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. Electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB) dye marking of the lesion, particularly when guided by cone beam computed tomography in the hybrid operating room (HOR), is an emerging approach. However, issues with confirmation of dye injection and intraoperative visualization of the colored dye can be unpredictable and challenging. To address these uncertainties, we present our technique of ENB dye marking localization of lung nodule using the triple-contrast dye method in the HOR.
