Linear endosonography, including intrathoracic lymph nodal sampling by endobronchial ultrasound with transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) and endoesophageal ultrasound fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA), has an important role in the diagnosing and staging of lung cancer.
Furthermore, endosonography is applied in the mediastinal evaluation of sarcoidosis, lymphoma, cysts, and nodal metastases of extrathoracic malignancies.
Endosonography-related complications as well as sedation and training strategies are discussed. The purpose of this review is to summarize current practice, recent advances, and future directions.
Endosonography is generally accepted as a powerful and safe diagnostic test for various diseases affecting the mediastinum. Large-scale implementation is needed.
