Efficacy and safety of semi-flexible thoracoscopic cryobiopsy in the diagnosis of elderly tuberculous pleurisy

Respiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2020
Background: Thoracoscopic pleural biopsy is an efficient procedure in patients with undiagnosed exudative pleurisy. Rigid or flexible forceps have been widely used for this procedure.

Additional yield of transbronchial cryo-node biopsy over endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration for mediastinal lesions at a tertiary care center in India (COLD-FORCEPS-2 study)

Monaldi Archives for Chest Disease
Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS)-guided mediastinal cryobiopsy is a new modality for sampling mediastinal lymph nodes. The data regarding the diagnostic yield and utility of mediastinal cryobiopsy is still limited.

Cryobiopsy In Flexi-Rigid Pleuroscopy in a Region with Low Mesothelioma Prevalence

European 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 ...

Transbronchial Access of Solitary Pulmonary Nodules Without Bronchus Sign Using a Novel Puncture Dilatation Catheter: Initial Feasibility Experience

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
This case series reports the initial clinical experience using a novel, single‐use transbronchial puncture dilatation catheter compatible with thin bronchoscopes. In two distinct cases involving a lung nodule with negative bronchus sign and a stenotic airway, the device successfully facilitated ‘off‐road’ access and radial EBUS verification, enabling ...

Elucidating diagnostic efficacy and safety of the procedure: cryobiopsy of endobronchial lesions with a flexible bronchoscope

Monaldi Archives for Chest Disease, 2023
When compared to conventional forceps biopsy, the use of a flexible cryoprobe allows for the sampling of endobronchial lesions, yielding well-preserved, circumferential, and substantial specimens, resulting in a higher diagnostic yield, as demonstrated ...

Clinical meaning of transbronchial cryobiopsy

, 2018
Transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLCB) carried out in patients with diffuse parenchymal lung disease is becoming the first choice when histopathologic information is deemed necessary. Standardization of the procedure is nowadays quite well defined thanks

Comparison between cryobiopsy and forceps biopsy in detection of epidermal growth factor receptor amplification in non-small-cell lung cancer

The Egyptian Journal of Bronchology, 2020
Background Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) represents 85% of lung cancer cases. Genotyping is now considered as a cornerstone in proper management and better results of such cancers, especially with targeted therapy.
