The diagnostic yield of cryobiopsy versus forceps biopsy of malignant endobronchial lesions
Background: In patients with endoscopically visible lesions, flexible bronchoscopy with FB is the most frequently used technique to obtain specimens for pathologic analysis with sensitivity of approximately 74%.

Optimizing the endoscopic diagnosis of mediastinal lymphadenopathy: a glimpse on cryobiopsy
Etiological diagnosis of mediastinal lymphadenopathy represents a daily challenge. Endosonography (transesophageal and transbronchial ultrasound-guided needle aspiration) is the recommended technique in the first diagnostic work-up and in the mediastinal

Bronchiolitis manifests as a variety of histological features that explain the complex clinical profiles and imaging aspects. In the period between January 2011 and June 2015, patients with a cryobiopsy diagnosis of bronchiolitis were retrospectively ...

Early experience of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial nodal cryobiopsy: a case series from Sabah, Malaysia [PDF]
Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is an established minimally invasive method for the diagnosis of benign and malignant conditions.

Sequential EBUS-Guided Fine Needle Aspiration and Transbronchial Cryobiopsy for the Diagnosis of a Giant Mediastinal Lipoma: A Novel Intraoperative Pivot Strategy. [PDF]
We report the first case of sequential EBUS‐FNA and an intraoperative pivot to transbronchial cryobiopsy as a rescue strategy for the diagnosis of a giant mediastinal lipoma, with complete pathologic and molecular confirmation. ABSTRACT Mediastinal lipomas are extremely rare, comprising only 1.6%–2.3% of all primary mediastinal tumours, with fewer than

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

Transbronchial cryobiopsy for diagnosing pulmonary hyalinizing granuloma: a case report. [PDF]
Background Pulmonary hyalinizing granuloma (PHG) is a rare, benign pulmonary disease characterized by dense hyalinized collagen deposition. Diagnosis is often challenging because conventional transbronchial forceps biopsy frequently fails to obtain ...

Background Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial cryobiopsy (EBUS-cryobiopsy) is advantageous for collecting larger specimens with minimal crushing; however, it has not been widely used for mediastinal tumors.

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