With the spread of low-dose CT-screening programs for lung cancer, the demand evolves for accurate sampling of detected peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs).
In this video Prof. Christopher Lambers from Ordensklinikum Linz, Austria demonstrates a peripheral cryobiopsy of a cancerous lesion using the flexible single use 1.1 mm cryoprobe along with an electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy.
Prof. Lambers demonstrates through the sheath croybiopsy after the position of the navigation catheter has been corrected with tomosynthesis.
The procedure is described in detailed steps.
