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.
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: nej.md/43uWPqY
Editorial: Biopsy of Peripheral Lung Nodules — Inside Out or Outside In? nej.md/3GWjBPO

We have shown that #18G needle #splenicbiopsy is as safe as splenic biopsy with smaller needles.
So even if it is scary, you can still biopsy spleen!
