Transcatheter bronchial brush and forceps biopsies. Histologic evaluation.

D Variakojis, F H Straus, J J Fennessy

    American Journal of Clinical Pathology
    |August 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    Histologic and cytologic findings from transcatheter biopsies were evaluated. Combining both methods improved diagnostic accuracy to 76%, essential for specific conditions like Hodgkin's disease.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical diagnostics
    • Pathology
    • Interventional radiology

    Background:

    • Transcatheter biopsies are increasingly used for tissue sampling.
    • Evaluating diagnostic accuracy of different biopsy methods is crucial for patient care.
    • Histologic and cytologic analyses offer complementary diagnostic information.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of transcatheter brush and forceps biopsies.
    • To compare the accuracy of histologic versus cytologic findings.
    • To determine the combined accuracy of both methods.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 472 transcatheter biopsies over six years.
    • Histologic examination of tissue samples.
    • Cytologic examination of collected cells.

  • Fluoroscopic guidance for biopsy procedures.

    • Main Results:

    • Histologic findings alone yielded 38% diagnostic accuracy.
    • Cytologic findings alone yielded 70% diagnostic accuracy.
    • Combined histologic and cytologic examination improved accuracy to 76%.

    Conclusions:

    • Combining histologic and cytologic analysis of transcatheter biopsies significantly enhances diagnostic accuracy.
    • Histologic examination is indispensable for diagnosing Hodgkin's disease and certain inflammatory conditions.
    • Transcatheter biopsies under fluoroscopic guidance are valuable for peripheral lesions, and utilizing both biopsy types is recommended.
