    The SinglePass electrocautery device was used for hemostasis and biopsy tract closure in five cases of lung and mediastinal mass lesions.

  • 3

    All biopsy procedures using the SinglePass device were successful, with no complications reported within 30 days post-procedure.

  • 4

    Imaging confirmed the absence of pneumothorax and bleeding complications in all five patients after the procedures.
