Delayed pneumothorax after transbronchial lung biopsy.
The complication and mortality rate associated with fibreoptic bronchoscopy and transbronchial lung biopsy are low.' 2 Pneumothorax has been reported to occur after about 5% of transbronchial lung biopsies and is the most common complication of the procedure.3 Many extensive reviews of fibreoptic bronchoscopy with transbronchial biopsy, however, make no mention of the occurrence of delayed pneu...
متن کاملRisk Factors of Pneumothorax after Endobronchial Ultrasound-Guided Transbronchial Biopsy for Peripheral Lung Lesions
BACKGROUND The risk of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial biopsy-related pneumothorax is a major concern and warrants further studies. The aim of our study was to estimate the risk of pneumothorax after this procedure and identify its risk factors. METHODS From 2007 to 2011, 399 patients who underwent endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial biopsy for peripheral lung lesion...
متن کاملTransbronchial Lung Biopsy
Transbronchial Lung biopsy (TBBx) also known as “Bronchoscopic Lung Biopsy” is one of the most important sampling procedures performed during fl exible bronchoscopy. In majority of cases, TBBx is performed under conscious sedation in an outpatient setting. TBBx is performed for obtaining tissue specimen from peripheral lung masses and focal or diffuse lung in fi ltrates. The technique is useful...
متن کامل[Transbronchial lung biopsy using cryoprobes].
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) is a bronchoscopy procedure used to obtain peripheral lung tissue. Small size samples and artefacts lead to variable, and usually poor, diagnostic yield. The use of cryoprobes may enable larger size and better quality biopsy samples to be obtained. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of TBLB with cryoprobes and an...
