Endobronchial ultrasonographically guided transbronchial needle aspiration in mediastinal abscesses  Yen-Fu Chen, MD, Chao-Chi Ho, MD, PhD, Chung-Yu Chen, MD, Chong-Jen Yu, MD, PhD  The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery  Volume 145, Issue 6, Pages e54-e57 (June 2013) DOI: 10.1016/j.jtcvs.2013.02.025 Copyright © 2013 The American Association for Thoracic Surgery Terms and Conditions

Figure 1 Patient 1. A, Chest radiographic image showing a new lesion over the right upper lung lobe. B, Ultrasonographic image showing the 22-gauge needle (white arrow) of the endobronchial ultrasonographically guided transbronchial needle aspiration puncturing the fluid-filled mediastinal abscess. C, The aspiration vacuum syringe containing yellowish cloudy pus (white arrow) from the mediastinal abscess. D, Chest computed tomographic image showing a heterogeneous, hypodense lesion (diameter 5.8 cm) with an air-fluid level. E, Chest computed tomographic image after 1 month of treatment with antibiotics shows reduction in the size of the mediastinal abscess. The lesion in the left upper lobe of the lung, however, shows disease progression.

Figure 2 Patient 2. A, Chest computed tomographic image showing a large mass (diameter 5.3 cm) in the subcarinal area and posterior mediastinum, causing left atrial compression. B, Chest computed tomographic image obtained after 6 months of antituberculosis treatment showing regression in the mass (diameter 4.6 cm) at the subcarinal area and posterior mediastinum. C and D, The endobronchial ultrasonographically guided transbronchial needle aspiration image showing a large heterogeneous, hypoechoic cystic lesion over the subcarinal region and the 22-gauge needle (white arrow) puncturing into the subcarinal lesion with tissue aspiration.
