TY - JOUR AU - Oki, Masahide AU - Saka, Hideo PY - 2019 TI - Novel technique to prevent central airway blood flooding during transbronchial cryobiopsy JF - Journal of Thoracic Disease; Vol 11, No 9 (September 30, 2019): Journal of Thoracic Disease Y2 - 2019 KW - N2 - Transbronchial cryobiopsy is useful for diagnosing diffuse parenchymal lung diseases, as well as localized lung lesions (1-5). It provides larger and higher quality specimens without crush artifacts compared to those obtained by conventional biopsy forceps (6). As transbronchial cryobiopsy samples tend to be larger, the risk of bleeding from the biopsy site is higher than that associated with forceps biopsy. UR - https://jtd.amegroups.org/article/view/28372
