Comparison of Two Dye Marking Methods for Preoperative Localization of Pulmonary Nodules Guided by Electromagnetic Navigation Bronchoscopy.

HYHao YangSun Yat-sen University KLKong jia LuoSun Yat-sen University YLYing Liang

Key Points

The aim is to compare the effectiveness of two dye marking methods for localizing pulmonary nodules before surgery.
Utilized electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB) for dye localization.
Compared methylene blue (MB) and indocyanine green (ICG) dyes.
Evaluated operative time for each dye method.
Both dye methods effectively localized pulmonary nodules.
ICG was associated with a shorter operative time than MB.
ICG may provide potential efficiency benefits in the procedure.

Abstract

ENB-guided dye localization enables accurate and safe minimally invasive resection of pulmonary nodules. Both MB and ICG are effective, while ICG was associated with a shorter operative time and may offer a potential efficiency benefit.
