Mini-probe cryobiopsy of peripheral pulmonary nodules with different targeting approaches – General considerations

Watch generic considerations on peripheral sampling. Rationales for cryobiopsy technique are highlighted, including safety profile and advantages over competing modalities (eccentric positioning, molecular target testing). Furthermore, contra-indications are highlighted. Construction of a bronchoscopy suite with … Continue reading Mini-probe cryobiopsy of peripheral pulmonary nodules with different targeting approaches – General considerations

Transbronchial cryobiopsy with rigid intubation for ILD diagnosis using flexible single-use cryoprobe and ERBECRYO® 2

To diagnose ILD, the flexible single-use cryoprobe with 1.7 mm was advanced into the periphery until the pleura and pulled back for 1cm. Fluoroscopy control was used for the positioning. After freezing for 5 seconds, … Continue reading Transbronchial cryobiopsy with rigid intubation for ILD diagnosis using flexible single-use cryoprobe and ERBECRYO® 2
