Removal of Lung Nodules After Being Marked With a Microcoil

NCT00323089 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 151

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The objective of this study is to determine if subcentimetre pulmonary nodules can be accurately and safely excised by endoscopic stapling devices after they have been localized using CT and marked with a microcoil device.

The addition of real-time CT imaging and insertion of platinum microcoil markers to the technique of video assisted thoracoscopic stapled resection of subcentimetre pulmonary nodules, will decrease the rate of open thoracotomies required to completely resect the nodules.
