Introduction Determining the cause of diffuse parenchymal lung disease (DPLD) is
challenging. While surgical lung biopsy has been the standard approach, transbronchial …

Purpose Determining the cause of interstitial lung disease (ILD) remains challenging. While
surgical lung biopsy remains the gold standard approach, risks associated with it may be …

Introduction Transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) is an accepted alternative to surgical
lung biopsy (SLB) for diagnosing diffuse parenchymal lung disease (DPLD) that is less …

Transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) offers a minimally invasive option for the diagnosis
of diffuse parenchymal lung diseases, of which interstitial lung diseases comprise the most …

Transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) has been increasingly utilised to diagnose diffuse
parenchymal lung diseases (DPLDs) and lung cancers; however, TBLC protocols have not …

Objective Transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) is a promising technique that can provide
a histologic diagnosis in interstitial lung diseases (ILD) and is an alternative to surgical lung …

Background Despite advances in technology, the bronchoscopic diagnosis of parenchymal
pulmonary lesions (PPLs) remains difficult to achieve. Transbronchial lung cryobiopsy …

Background: Transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) is a new method of bronchoscopic
tissue sampling in patients with unclear diffuse parenchymal lung disease (DPLD). While not …

Introduction Transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) is increasingly used in the diagnosis of
diffuse lung disease (DLD), but no data have yet been published on the learning curve …

Background: Diffuse parenchymal lung diseases (DPLDs) are common. An accurate
diagnosis is essential due to differences in etiology, clinicopathologic features, therapeutic …
