Thin bronchoscopic cryobiopsy using a nasobronchial tube

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Masahide Oki from the This prospective study evaluated the safety and efficacy of our novel cryobiopsy (wedged-tube) techniqueFrom September , to March, patients with lung lesions were recruited and underwent cryobiopsy using the wedged-tube method [18]. The principal inclusion criterion was patients with chest-computed-tomography-confirmed lung lesions in which tissue sampling by cryobiopsy was considered adequate for a pathological diagnosis. The principal exclusion criteria were lesions inappropriate for cryobiopsy (e_g, those located within the inner second ellipse from the hilum, near a large vessel, and near large lung cysts), lesions considered to be . . .
