Novel endoscopic cryoprobe extraction of acute food bolus impaction: a case report [PDF]
Acute food bolus impaction is frequently encountered in pediatric patients with underlying esophageal conditions. Traditional endoscopic methods for removing friable boluses, such as meat, are often time-intensive and challenging.

A refined diagnostic approach for interstitial lung disease: efficient and safe transbronchial cryobiopsy using a 1.1-mm cryoprobe [PDF]
BackgroundTransbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) has emerged as a less invasive alternative to surgical biopsy for diagnosing interstitial lung disease (ILD). However, data on the performance of thinner cryoprobes remains limited.

Optimizing tissue sampling during medical pleuroscopy for diagnosis of malignant pleural effusion due to lung cancer [PDF]
Cryobiopsy has emerged in recent years as a tool of growing interest in the diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We first conducted the study with the primary objective to compare the quality of cryobiopsies versus conventional forceps ...

Tumor Microscopically-absent On Resection Specimen After Bronchoscopic Cryobiopsy: TuMORS-ABC [PDF]
The advent of shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (SSRAB) and its combination with integrated mobile cone beam CT (mCBCT) have made it possible for chest clinicians to biopsy smaller lung nodules than was previously possible. The 1.1 mm cryoprobe

Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial cryobiopsy through a working channel potentially improving safety and efficacy [PDF]
Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS)-guided transbronchial cryobiopsy (TBCB) is a novel method for the biopsy of hilar and mediastinal lesions. Conventional cryobiopsy requires simultaneous removal of the cryoprobe and EBUS scope from the airway, resulting in

Safe Bronchoscopic Treatment Strategy for Subglottic Severe Airway Stenosis: A Case Report of Tracheal MALT Lymphoma [PDF]
An 86‐year‐old woman with dyspnea was referred to the Interventional Pulmonology Department due to airway stenosis just below the vocal cords. Bronchoscopic intervention was performed. During the procedure, the right femoral artery and vein were accessed,

A Crumpet, a Canine and a Cryoprobe: A Case of Tooth Aspiration [PDF]
Foreign body inhalation can lead to post‐obstructive pneumonia and sepsis, requiring timely removal to achieve source control. We report a case of tooth aspiration successfully retrieved with a cryoprobe.

Aspirated Soybean Mimicking Endobronchial Tumour Removed With a Cryoprobe [PDF]
Adult airway foreign bodies are misdiagnosed as endobronchial tumours on imaging. A 77‐year‐old man with asbestosis presented with a worsening cough. Computed tomography (CT) showed a 12‐mm low‐attenuation right upper‐lobe bronchial lesion with distal ...

Cryobiopsy as a Salvage Technique Following Negative Flexible Forceps Biopsy of the Pleura Under Rapid On-Site Evaluation Guidance: A Prospective Study [PDF]
A diffusely thickened or hard pleura is a special type of macroscopic appearance associated with benign or malignant conditions. Medical thoracoscopy (MT) is the gold standard for pleural pathology, but its diagnostic yield is imperfect.
