Presented at #ATS2025:

In the VERITAS trial, biopsy of indeterminate pulmonary lesions with navigational bronchoscopy was noninferior to that with transthoracic needle biopsy and led to fewer complications. Full trial results: https://t.co/UHpriqNTHf

Thrilled to see VERITAS out in @NEJM today. Nav bronch noninferior to transthoracic needle biopsy for lung nodules 10-30 mm. Nav bronch made an accurate diagnosis in 79% vs. 73% for TTNB, with pneumothorax requiring chest tube and/or hospitalization in 1% vs. 12%, respectively.

Newly identified unilateral pleural effusion in a HOSPITALIZED patient - dyspnea is present. You favor this being an exudative effusion. What is your INITIAL drainage strategy if anechoic on the US? @AAB_IP @MaldonadoFabien @dfellerk @udit_chaddha @Re_innervated

4 ways I feel interventional pulmonologists succumb to the hammer-nail mindset and demean ourselves
🛑Sampling nodules cause ‘we can’
🛑Valves for everyone
🛑Treating imaging and not pts, with pleural dz
🛑Stenting airways that lead to no physiological gain
