Abstract
The authors designed three localization wires that increase the utility of percutaneous localization of lung nodules performed in conjunction with video-assisted thorascopic resection. In 17 patients, the custom-made wires dislodged less frequently than did commercially available wires (two of 11 vs three of six, respectively) while allowing the surgeon to apply gentle retraction pressure, which aided the resection.
