?? November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month ?? Lung cancer is the world’s leading cause of cancer death. ?Every 30 seconds, someone in the world is diagnosed with lung cancer. Research shows that with early detection, the 5-year survival rate of lung cancer can be as high as 90% . At Broncus, we are committed transforming the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer through our advanced bronchoscopic navigation technology using the #Archimedes system. ?Advanced diagnostic tools can help reach small, peripheral lung lesions that were previously difficult to access. Join us this month in spreading awareness. Know the symptoms. Get screened. Save lives. #LungCancer #LungNavigation #TumorAblation

??Congratulating Dr Roberto Piro and his dedicated team at Ausl IRCCS Reggio Emilia performing Italy's first Bronchoscopic Transparanchymal Nodule Access (BTPNA) procedure with the #Archimedes lung navigation system! The optimal access included a 56mm tunnel pathway to a peripheral nodule located in lower lobe, far from the airways. No idea why LinkedIn marked the video in original post as "Sensitive Content"—there isn’t even a drop of blood! ???The Vessel mapping feature allow us to plan the Point-of-entry (POE) carefully, avoiding any vessels during tunneling process. The Archimedes platform, supported by a combination of Virtual Bronchoscopy Navigation (VBN) and Fused Fluoroscopy, made this challenging approach possible. Special thanks to Florian Sagebiel for his professional support! #BTPNA #InterventionalPulmonology

We’re excited to be part of wcbip indonesia ! ?? Visit us at Booth #40 to explore our latest technology, providing full lung access from Navigation to Ablation for lung diseases. See you in Bali! ???? #WCBIP #LungCancer #Archimedes #BTVA #Ablation

?? Exciting News from Italy!???? We are thrilled to announce that the FIRST #Archimedes system in Sicily has been successfully installed at Villa Sofia Hospital in Palermo. Our heartfelt congratulations go to Dr Giuseppe Arcoleo , Dr Giuseppe La Mattina, Dr Michele Gallo as well as their dedicated nursing team—special thanks to Alessia, Marco, and Andrea—for their enthusiasm and commitment to integrating this cutting-edge technology into their daily practice, improving lung cancer management. Following comprehensive training, both the Pulmonology and Radiology teams successfully performed four cases over two days. All procedures went smoothly, including two particularly challenging cases due to very small, peripheral nodules that were nearly undetectable on fluoroscopy. One target was in a very distal area of RULB1, (#8 branch, 16 mm, 14 mm from the pleura). This patient had undergone two unsuccessful bronchoscopic procedures before. Dr. La Mattina emphasized that without the Archimedes system, reaching these lesions and obtaining a diagnosis would have been impossible. We also extend our sincere gratitude to the hospital management, to Raffaele Nanni of PulmoJ, and to Giorgio Giliberti of Pa.Ri. Consulting Srl. for their support and partnership in making this achievement possible. ?? Kudos to Florian Sagebiel and Emmanuel de Pins for their key contributions to this project!

?? What a beautiful, sunny day it was in Barcelona last week as we successfully delivered the #Archimedes Hands-On Workshop! We had the pleasure of welcoming physicians from across Europe to experience firsthand how we leverage #VirtualBronchoscopyNavigation to create tunneling paths while avoiding vessels. The #FusedFluoroscopy feature in Archimedes is key to confirming direction in real-time, ensuring the accurate targeting of lesions with augmented fluoroscopy guidance. A big thank you to everyone who participated and made this event a success! Kudos to Florian Sagebiel #Transbronchial #WholeLungAccess #LungCancer #Navigation #Biopsy #Ablation

?? Milestone Achievement ?? We are thrilled to announce that the Thoraxklinik am Universit?tsklinikum Heidelberg, under the expert leadership of Kontogianni Konstantina, has successfully completed over 100 BTVA treatments! This is a major step forward in improving the quality of life for patients with emphysema, and we are incredibly proud of our dedicated team for reaching this milestone. In addition, this center has the honor of being the Principal Investigator (PI) for the BENTO Study, a multicenter clinical trial conducted across 15 centers in Germany. The BENTO Study (Bronchoscopic Thermal Vapor Ablation in Patients with Emphysema) is aimed at evaluating the efficacy and safety of BTVA as a treatment for patients with advanced emphysema. This innovative approach targets localized lung regions to reduce hyperinflation and improve lung function. Thank you to our entire team, our patients, and collaborators for helping us achieve these milestones! Together, we continue to push the boundaries of respiratory care.

#AirItOut Peripheral lesions in interventional pulmonology pose significant challenges due to the small diameter of the peripheral airways. Success in diagnosis hinges on precise tools and techniques. The question remains: how can we effectively reach deeper into the periphery? Recently, we had a patient with a suspicious lesion in the right upper lobe. The patient had previously undergone bronchoscopy with a peripheral biopsy, which was non-diagnostic, and was subsequently referred for further evaluation. Using the LungPoint virtual bronchoscopy system, we mapped a pathway to the lesion and employed an ultra-thin bronchoscope (MP190F) for navigation. However, upon reaching the 4th generation airway, further advancement was hindered by the narrow airway diameter. To overcome this, we attached an oxygen catheter to the bronchoscope's working channel and used oxygen to dilate the airways. In our experience, oxygen has proven to be more effective than saline for dilation, partly because saline can obstruct vision during the procedure. This allowed us to successfully navigate to the periphery, visualizing the tumor in the 6th generation airway, where a biopsy was performed under direct vision. Despite the presence of emphysema, no pneumothorax occurred post-procedure. Initial histologic analysis revealed atypical cells, with final immunohistochemistry pending. Aufgrund des kleinen Durchmessers der peripheren Atemwege stellen periphere L?sionen in der interventionellen Pneumologie eine gro?e Herausforderung dar. Eine erfolgreiche Diagnose h?ngt von pr?zisen Werkzeugen und Techniken ab. Die Frage bleibt: Wie k?nnen wir effektiv tiefer in die Peripherie vordringen? Neuerlich hatten wir einen Patienten mit einer verd?chtigen L?sion im rechten Oberlappen. Der Patient hatte bereits eine Bronchoskopie mit peripherer Biopsie hinter sich, die jedoch nicht diagnostisch war, und wurde zur weiteren Abkl?rung an uns überwiesen. Mithilfe des virtuellen Bronchoskopiesystems LungPoint planten wir einen Weg zur L?sion, und zur Navigation wurde ein ultradünnes Bronchoskop (MP190F) verwendet. Als wir jedoch die 4. Generation der Atemwege erreichten, wurde eine weitere Passage durch den schmalen Atemwegsdurchmesser behindert. Um dies zu überwinden, schlossen wir einen Sauerstoffkatheter an den Arbeitskanal des Bronchoskops an und nutzten Sauerstoff, um die Atemwege zu erweitern. Unserer Erfahrung nach hat sich Sauerstoff als effektiver erwiesen als Kochsalzl?sung, da Kochsalz teilweise die Sicht w?hrend des Eingriffs behindern kann. Dank dieser Technik konnten wir erfolgreich in die peripheren Bereiche vordringen und den Tumor in den Atemwegen der 6. Generation visualisieren, wo eine Biopsie unter direkter Sicht durchgeführt wurde. Trotz des Lungenemphysems trat kein Pneumothorax auf. Die initiale histologische Analyse ergab atypische Zellen; die endgültige Immunhistochemie steht noch aus. Broncus Medical Inc Olympus Medical Systems EMEA #IPE #PPL #Lungcancer
