Image Guided VATS Resection vs. VATS Resection of Lung Lesions
To evaluate workflow and outcomes of iVATS and standard VATS for small pulmonary nodules. The
outcomes of the patients will be evaluated separately as there will be no direct comparison
of the two arms.

This is a prospective phase II clinical study to evaluate iVATS and standard VATS for small
pulmonary nodules. We have successfully completed and published a phase I/pilot study with 25
patients demonstrating safety and optimal procedural workflow for combining image-guidance
with VATS. This phase II clinical study will further expand upon the safety and feasibility
of this procedure. Additionally, this data will be used to design a phase III comparison
study between iVATS and standard VATS.
