Prospective controlled animal study on biopsy sampling with new flexible cryoprobes versus forceps: evaluation of biopsy size, histological quality and bleeding risk.
BACKGROUND Cryoextraction is a procedure used for the recanalization of obstructed airways caused by visible exophytic endobronchial tumor. Biopsy samples obtained by this technique have been shown to be useful for histological assessment. OBJECTIVES The aim of the present animal study was to systematically evaluate biopsy size, histological quality and bleeding risk after cryobiopsy with new...
متن کاملComparison of forceps used for transbronchial lung biopsy. Bigger may not be better.
Transbronchial lung biopsy is a useful procedure to obtain an alveolar specimen in the evaluation of diffuse lung infiltrates. Large forceps (cup and alligator) are expected to result in larger specimens and improve diagnostic yield. We performed transbronchial lung biopsy in 20 patients using two different sized forceps in each patient. We compared the histology and histopathologic diagnoses o...
متن کاملTHE DIAGNOSTIC YIELD OF TRANSBRONCHIAL LUNG BIOPSY IN DIFFUSE INFILTRATIVE PULMONARY DISEASES BY PLAIN CUP FORCEPS. A STUDY OF 54 CASES IN IRAN
The technique of transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) has expanded the diagnostic yield of bronchoscopy . In this article we are presenting 54 patients with diffuse pulmonary parenchymal involvement who underwent this procedure during six years between June 1980 and December 1989. The diagnostic yield of this technique in diffuse pulmonary parenchymal disease is great and was 66 percent exclu...
متن کاملFamilial spontaneous pneumothorax: importance of screening for renal tumours.
We thank G.L. Casoni and V. Poletti for their comments regarding our study showing the diagnostic utility of a thin bronchoscope with a 1.7-mm working channel for peripheral pulmonary lesions [1]. Their main quarrel with a channel of this size is its possible inability to control bleeding, and they argue that larger forceps are better than smaller ones in terms of diagnostic yield. Bleeding is ...
متن کاملDifference in the yields of bronchial washing cytology before and after forceps biopsy for lung cancer diagnosis.
OBJECTIVES Fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) has been one of the essential procedures used in the diagnosis of lung cancer Diagnostic yields of FOB related procedures such as bronchial washing (BW), bronchial brushing (BB), bronchial biopsy (BBx), and transbronchial biopsy (TBBx) depend on the location and extent of the tumors. The yields of BW vary among different studies (39-79%). Some reported t...
