Modified two‐scope technique for transbronchial lung cryobiopsy of peripheral pulmonary lesions [PDF]
Bleeding mitigation is an important part of any transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) procedure, either for interstitial lung disease (ILD) or peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPL). The two‐scope technique has been previously described for ILD and PPL‐TBLC,

The Cost of Flexible Bronchoscopes: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Until 2009, only reusable bronchoscopes were marketed, but the introduction and widespread adoption of single-use flexible bronchoscopes (SFBs) as an emerging technology has since accelerated. Several studies have described the costs of reusable flexible
