Transbronchial cryobiopsy in diagnosis of smear-negative pulmonary tuberculosis: validity and safety
Background Smear-negative pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) represents 42% of PTB cases and is responsible for ∼20% of tuberculosis (TB) transmission cases. Early recognition of TB cases is important to limit TB transmission.

Background: Medical thoracoscopy (rigid and semirigid pleuroscopy) has revolutionized the approach to the diagnosis of pleural disease by offering a very high diagnostic yield. Rigid pleuroscopy offers the advantages of therapeutic intervention and larger biopsy specimens, whereas semirigid pleuroscopy using a standard biopsy ...

Cryobiopsy for pneumonitis diagnosis in NSCLC immunotherapy
Nowadays immunotherapy is considered the tip of the arrow as treatment for non-small cell lung cancer for inoperable patients. Programmed death-ligand 1 is considered a valuable marker for the success of immunotherapy. The higher the score ≥50% the more successful the treatment will be.

Hemothorax as a complication of transbronchial lung cryobiopsy
Key messageThere are more complications in transbronchial lung cryobiopsy than in a conventional transbronchial lung biopsy. Respiratory endoscopists should be aware of the potential complications, including rare complications such as hemothorax.

Use of pleural cryobiopsy for tissue culture specimens: a case report
A 43‐year‐old man presented with cough. His chest X‐ray showed a left‐sided pleural effusion. We suspected tuberculous pleurisy (TP), and thoracoscopy under local anaesthesia was performed. It showed entire pleura with scattered nodules.

Cryobiopsy In Flexi-Rigid Pleuroscopy in a Region with Low Mesothelioma Prevalence
Background: The use of conventional flexible forceps during flex-rigid pleuroscopy can be challenging when sampling hard and thickened pleura. Pleuroscopic cryobiopsy is an emerging field, with various early studies demonstrating good yield and minimal ...
