International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2023 We report a case of pulmonary paragonimiasis diagnosed by transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC). TBLC is likely to be a superior method to transbronchial forceps biopsy because TBLC can get larger specimens, resulting in a higher chance of containing the

Hemothorax as a complication of transbronchial lung cryobiopsy
Respirology Case Reports, 2022 Key message There 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.

Cryoprobe transbronchial lung biopsy: How we do it? [PDF]
Lung India, 2018 Transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) is commonly utilized for diagnosis of diffuse parenchymal lung diseases. TBLB has a high yield in granulomatous interstitial lung diseases like sarcoidosis, but small size of biopsies limits its utility in idiopathic ...
