Preoperative computed tomography-guided localization for multiple pulmonary nodules: comparison of methylene blue and coil

Abstract Background Preoperative computed tomography (CT)-guided localization has been used to guide the video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) sublobar (wedge or segmental) resection for pulmonary nodules (PNs). We aimed to assess the relative efficacy and safety of CT-guided methylene blue (M...
