Abstract
In video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) resection of small lung nodules, preoperative dye marking around the visceral pleura provides surface localization to help initiate resection, while implantation of a fiducial marker such as a microcoil can provide inner localization to aid nodule resection under fluoroscopic guidance. We aimed to determine whether dual localization with microcoil placement and dye marking is safe and useful for guiding the resection of small deep-seated lung nodules.
