Virtual-assisted lung mapping (VAL-MAP) is a preoperative multi-spot bronchoscopic dye-marking technique. Marking failure reportedly occurs in approximately 10% of marks. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether the patient position during dye injection in VAL-MAP affected the quality of markings.
