Abstract:
Cryobiopsy is an endobronchial technique to obtain peripheral lung biopsies with the use of a flexible bronchoscopic cryo probe. This technique can be used to diagnose diffuse lung diseases when histological evidence is required. This new technique was used for the first time in 2009 and in 2014 we introduced this new method in the Netherlands at the CWZ in Nijmegen. This piece outlines our experiences with Transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC).
