Transbronchial cryobiopsy in diagnosis of smear-negative pulmonary tuberculosis: validity and safety

open access: yesEgyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2019
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.

Cryobiopsy of the Pleura

open access: yesJournal of Bronchology & Interventional Pulmonology, 2018
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

open access: yesRespiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2022
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.

Concordance between sequential transbronchial lung cryobiopsy and surgical lung biopsy in patients with diffuse interstitial lung disease

open access: yes, 2019
BACKGROUND: Increasing evidence indicates the utility of transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) for the diagnosis of interstitial lung disease (ILD). However, only one study has compared TBLC and surgical lung biopsy (SLB) performed on the same patients ...

Hemothorax as a complication of transbronchial lung cryobiopsy

open access: yesRespirology Case Reports, 2022
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

open access: yesRespirology Case Reports, 2020
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

open access: yesEuropean Medical Journal Respiratory, 2020
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 ...
