2 Fig 1 Technique using endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS)-guided cautery-assisted forceps biopsies of lymph nodes. (A) EBUS-transbronchial needle aspiration needle in lymph node. (B) EBUS view with cautery knife inside the same lymph node. Note mild artifact (arrow). (C) Electrocautery knife that is inserted through the working channel of the EBUS scope. (D) Mucosal incision seen after electrocautery incision. (E) Forceps seen inside lymph node (circle). (F) Specimen obtained by forceps for surgical pathology.
