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

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 ...

Mediastinal “deep freeze”—transcarinal lymph node cryobiopsy
Background The diagnostic yield of endobronchial ultrasound‐transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS‐TBNA) from mediastinal lymph nodes ranges from 66%–89%. However, in many cases cytologic material is not sufficient for full molecular evaluation.
