Transbronchial lung cryobiopsy: Associated complications.
INTRODUCTION Transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBC) has emerged as a diagnostic alternative to surgical lung biopsy in interstitial lung disease (ILD). Despite its less invasive nature, some associated complications have been described. OBJECTIVE To evaluate complications of TBC and associated factors. METHODS Prospective evaluation of all patients with ILD submitted to TBC in our centre. Cli...
متن کاملTransbronchial cryobiopsy: a new tool for lung biopsies.
BACKGROUND Specimens from transbronchial lung biopsies lack sufficient quality due to crush artifact and are generally too small for diagnosis of diffuse lung diseases. Flexible cryoprobes have been shown to be useful in therapeutic bronchoscopy. We introduce a novel technique for obtaining lung biopsies bronchoscopically, using a flexible cryoprobe. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was t...
متن کاملTransbronchial cryobiopsy in diffuse parenchymal lung disease
The evaluation of patients with diffuse parenchymal lung diseases (DPLD), particularly the idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (IIP), often requires a multidisciplinary team approach. A surgical lung biopsy may be necessary for a confident diagnosis, particularly in patients with atypical clinical/radiological presentations.1 However, surgical lung biopsies carry a risk of serious complications,...
متن کاملLearning curve for transbronchial lung cryobiopsy in diffuse lung disease.
INTRODUCTION Transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) is increasingly used in the diagnosis of diffuse lung disease (DLD), but no data have yet been published on the learning curve associated with this technique. AIM To evaluate diagnostic yield, lung tissue sample length and area, and procedure-related complications in a cohort of TBLC procedures to define the learning curve and threshold for p...
متن کاملDiffuse idiopathic pulmonary neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia diagnosed by transbronchial lung cryobiopsy: a case report
BACKGROUND Micronodular lesions are common findings in lung imaging. As an important differential diagnosis, we describe a case of diffuse idiopathic pulmonary neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia; it is notable that the diagnosis of diffuse idiopathic pulmonary neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia is often delayed. This case provides supporting evidence to establish lung biopsy by cryotechnique as the o...
