Transbronchial cryobiopsy for peripheral pulmonary lesions using ultrathin bronchoscopy: a narrative review. [PDF]

J Thorac Dis
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: With the rising detection of peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs) and ground-glass opacities (GGOs) owing to widespread lung cancer screening, obtaining high-quality tissue for next-generation sequencing (NGS) has become critical.

Optimizing the endoscopic diagnosis of mediastinal lymphadenopathy: a glimpse on cryobiopsy

, 2022
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

Transbronchial lung cryobiopsy : a novel confirmatory tool to diagnose asbestos-related pulmonary fibrosis [PDF]

, 2019
Asbestosis is diagnosed with a combination of historical, clinical and radiological findings in the absence of another cause. Histology is required when uncertainty exists, with lung biopsy via VATs being gold standard.

Use of transbronchial cryobiopsy in the diagnosis of interstitial lung disease:a systematic review and cost analysis [PDF]

, 2017
BACKGROUND: Histological diagnosis by surgical lung biopsy for interstitial lung disease (ILD) is currently limited. Transbronchial cryobiopsy via flexible bronchoscope may this for more patients.

Spurious Fingertip Oxygen Desaturation During the 6‐Minute Walk Test in a Patient With NSIP and Raynaud Phenomenon: The Value of Forehead Pulse Oximetry and Transcutaneous Oxygen Tension

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
A patient with non‐specific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) and Raynaud phenomenon developed marked fingertip oxygen desaturation during the 6‐minute walk test despite stable forehead oxygen saturation and transcutaneous oxygen tension. Reduced digital perfusion mimicked exercise‐induced hypoxaemia, highlighting the importance of alternative methods for ...

Primary Biliary Cholangitis‐Associated Granulomatous Interstitial Lung Disease: Pulmonary Epithelial‐Interface Injury Supporting the Concept of Generalized Autoimmune Epithelitis

Pathology International, Volume 76, Issue 8, August 2026.
We report a rare case of primary biliary cholangitis‐associated granulomatous interstitial lung disease (PBC‐GILD) in a patient with coexisting anti‐synthetase syndrome. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid revealed lymphocytosis with multinucleated giant cells.

Performance of transbronchial cryobiopsy in eccentrically and adjacently orientated radial endobronchial ultrasound lesions

ERJ Open Research, 2019
Background Radial endobronchial ultrasound (R-EBUS) is an effective technique in the diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPL). However, lesion orientation with regards to the radial probe remains an important factor for effective biopsy.

Smartwatch‐Derived SpO2 Trends During Disease Worsening and Treatment Response in Fibrotic Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis: A Case Report

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
In fibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonitis, Apple Watch‐derived SpO2 declined before clinical worsening and improved after corticosteroid treatment. Daily‐life smartwatch SpO2 trends may provide adjunctive longitudinal information for monitoring respiratory disease activity.

Feasibility of Radial Endobronchial Ultrasound-Guided Bronchoscopic Cryobiopsy without Fluoroscopy for Lung Parenchymal Lesions [PDF]

, 2017
Background. Cryobiopsy is used to biopsy peripheral lung lesions through flexible bronchoscopy with fluoroscopic guidance. However, fluoroscopy is not available at some institutions. This study evaluated the feasibility of radial endobronchial ultrasound-
