Diagnostic yield of transbronchial lung cryobiopsy in interstitial lung diseases.
Surgical lung biopsy (SLB) is still considered the gold standard procedure to obtain histology in interstitial lung diseases (ILD), the final diagnosis being decided on the basis of multidisciplinary assessment. The availability of a histological pattern may be very important in reaching diagnosis, predicting outcome and responding to treatment. There has been an increasing interest on transbro...
متن کاملTransbronchial Lung Cryobiopsy in the Diagnosis of Fibrotic Interstitial Lung Diseases
BACKGROUND Histology is a key element for the multidisciplinary diagnosis of fibrotic diffuse parenchymal lung diseases (f-DPLD) when the clinical-radiological picture is nondiagnostic. Transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) have been shown to be useful for obtaining large and well-preserved biopsies of lung parenchyma, but experience with TBLC in f-DPLD is limited. OBJECTIVES To evaluate safe...
متن کاملUsefulness of Transbronchial Cryobiopsy in Interstitial Lung Disease
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a term that describes a group of more than 200 lung disorders that show varying degrees of infl ammation and fi brosis of the pulmonary interstitium. The etiology and pathophysiology of many of these disorders still remains poorly understood and is the topic of ongoing research and debate. The diagnostic approach to ILD can be complex and often requires a mult...
متن کاملTransbronchial 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 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,...
