About this study

Official title: Bronchoscopic ICG Injection vs Percutaneous Hook-wire Techniques for Preoperative Lung Nodule Localization in Video-assisted Thoracoscopic Sublobar Resection: A Prospective and Randomized Trial

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of transbronchial ICG and percutaneous hook-wire assisted Video-assisted thoracoscopic sublobar resection. In the control group, CT-guided percutaneous hook-wire preoperative localization will be used for surgical resection; In the experimental group, electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy guided transbronchial ICG injection will be performed for localization before VATS.

Read the detailed description

This is a single-center, prospective, randomized trial initiated by the investigator. Subjects with pulmonary nodules who will undergo Video-assisted thoracoscopic sublobar resection will be randomly divided into two groups. In the experimental group, before the VATS operation, transbronchial ICG injection will be guided by electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy to locate the nodule. In the control group, the subject will undergo CT guided hook-wire placement for nodule localization before VATS. The study is expected to enroll 188 patients. Finally, the effectiveness and safety of the two methods will be compared.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Indocyanine green (ICG)Device

    Indocyanine green (ICG) was diluted with saline to 0.5mg/mL, and injected 0.6mL/site.

  • Electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopyDevice

    Electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB) allows physicians to access peripheral lung nodules with high accuracy and provides a working channel for ICG injection.

  • Hook wireDevice

    Hook wire is a puncture locating needle with a hook head that is about 1 cm in length and 30 cm metal wire behind. Through the puncture path planned based on CT scan, hook wire puncture percutaneously into the chest cavity to reach the lesion for localization.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Bronchoscopic ICG localizationExperimentalThe nodule will be located preoperatively by ENB-Guided bronchoscopic ICG injection; During the VATS operation, a near-infrared fluorescence thoracoscopy will be used to identify ICG distribution in the visceral pleura to guide an accurate surgical resection.
Receives: Device: Indocyanine green (ICG); Device: Electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy
percutaneous hook-wire localizationActive comparatorThe nodule will be located preoperatively by percutaneous placement of hook wire; During the VATS operation, the resection scope is determined by the location relationship between hook wire and the nodule under CT scan.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Success rate of the localization procedure

    Calculated as follows: (number of successful targeting procedures/number of all localization procedures)*100

    Measured: On the 1 day of localization operation

  2. Success rate of the effective localization

    Calculated as follows: [(number of successful targeting procedures-number of dislodgements or unrecognized in the operative field)/number of all localization procedures]*100

    Measured: On the 1 day of VATS operation

  3. Success rate of VATS sublobar resection

    Calculated as follows: (number of successful VATS procedures/number of all localization procedures)*100

    Measured: On the 1 day of VATS completion

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Safety endpoint

    Complication rate of two localization methods, including pneumothorax, hemorrhage, etc.

    Measured: On the 1 day of VATS operation

  2. Localization time

    The localization time of the control group was defined as the time from the first CT scan which set the path for percutaneous puncture, to the last CT scan which confirmed the hook wire located at the expected site.

    The localization time of the experimental group was defined as the time from the insertion of bronchoscope to the glottis, to the withdrawal of bronchoscope from the glottis after ICG injection.

    Measured: On the 1 day of localization operation

  3. Operation time of VATS sublobar resection

    The operation time is defined as the time from the start of the skin incision to the completion of the suture of the skin.

    Measured: On the 1 day of VATS completion
