A Novel Dual-Scope Method for Safe Endobronchial Ultrasound-Guided Transbronchial Mediastinal Cryobiopsy. [PDF]

Respirol Case Rep
Endoscopic view of the dual‐scope method. An endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) scope and a thin bronchoscope are simultaneously inserted without intubation. The main monitor displays the EBUS image, while the sub‐display shows the thin bronchoscope image.

Cryobiopsy in the Diagnosis of Pulmonary Vein Stenosis After Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation: A Case Report. [PDF]

Respirol Case Rep
A 42‐year‐old man with haemoptysis was initially suspected to have an airway tumour but was ultimately diagnosed with pulmonary vein stenosis, a rare complication of atrial fibrillation ablation. Cryobiopsy ruled out malignancy and revealed a vascular malformation, while computed tomography confirmed left superior pulmonary vein occlusion.

Amiodarone-Induced Pneumonia Without Foamy Macrophages in the BALF: A Diagnostic Challenge Unveiled by Cryobiopsy. [PDF]

Respirol Case Rep
Amiodarone‐induced pneumonia can occur even in the absence of foamy macrophages in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, potentially leading to diagnostic uncertainty. In this case, transbronchial lung cryobiopsy revealed characteristic histopathological features, including vacuolization of type II alveolar epithelial cells and lymphoid hyperplasia, enabling a

Balloon Dilatation and Cryobiopsy on an Ultra-Peripheral Ground Glass Nodule: A Case Report. [PDF]

Respirol Case Rep
We present a case with an ultra‐peripheral pure GGN, posing a significant diagnostic challenge due to location and radiological characteristics. The case highlights the potential added value of combining balloon dilatation and cryobiopsy in the evaluation of ultra‐peripheral pure GGNs.

Mobile Cone-Beam CT-Guided Transbronchial Cryobiopsy of a <i>Penicillium</i> Granuloma via the Right Post-Eparterial Bronchus. [PDF]

Respirol Case Rep
A post‐eparterial bronchus is a rare anatomical variant that can predispose to infection due to secretion stasis, especially in susceptible patients. Navigating this challenging airway can be achieved by the combination of an ultrathin bronchoscope for optimal access and mobile cone beam CT for definitive ‘tool‐in‐lesion’ confirmation.

Integration of transbronchial cryobiopsy into multidisciplinary board decision: a single center analysis of one hundred consecutive patients with interstitial lung disease

Respiratory Research, 2021
Background Transbronchial cryobiopsy in the evaluation of patients with interstitial lung diseases (ILD) is expected to reduce the need for surgical lung biopsy (SLB).

Efficacy and Safety of Pleural Cryobiopsy vs. Forceps Biopsy for Evaluation of Undiagnosed Pleural Effusion: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Frontiers in Medicine, 2022
BackgroundPleural cryobiopsy is a novel technique for the diagnosis of pleural pathologies. However, the safety and feasibility of this modality compared to standard forceps for pleural biopsy has not been fully elucidated.

Competence in transbronchial cryobiopsy [PDF]

Panminerva Medica, 2019
Over the last decade transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) has proven to be an "innovative application" of an "old procedure" for the histologic diagnosis of diffuse interstitial lung diseases (DILDs). Thus, the technique of TBL cryobiopsy is now adopted for diagnostic purposes, transbronchially in peripheral airways to sample lung parenchyma, whereas ...

Potential application of cryobiopsy for histo-molecular characterization of mediastinal lymph nodes in patients with thoracic malignancies: a case presentation series and implications for future developments

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2022
Background The management of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has become increasingly complex due to the evolution of personalized medicine approaches. Such approaches are characterized by the necessity of adequate tumor samples; hence, improved biopsy

Use of the 1.1 mm cryoprobe through the radial EBUS GS (without the need for a bronchial blocker) to obtain samples safely in diagnosing peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPL)

Respirology Case Reports, 2023
Cryobiopsy for peripheral pulmonary lesions suspected of lung cancer is gaining popularity due to the larger non‐crushed samples capable of an array of molecular testing. However, the method of performing this procedure so far had been resource‐intensive
