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 @atscommunity

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.

welcome to America.

Big shoutout to the Thoracic Oncology and Chest Procedure Network Leadership for setting an agenda in research for 2025. We are excited to participate! Also shoutout to @RobJLentz and Jeff Thiboutot for excellent presentations and to Jeff for being the Rising Star. Well deserved!

Congratulations, @MaldonadoFabien! Well deserved. And I still owe you for your great pleural disease lecture for our #CHESTworldcongress2021 @accpchest #CHEST2024

#Simulation session in full force Amazing #Pleura #Bronchoscopy sessions with expert faculty 🌟 #CHEST2024 @accpchest and small groups

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 @AAB_IP @wabipconnect
