Efficacy of transbronchial biopsy and frequency of pneumothorax in lung transplant recipients: single center experience
TBB is considered a very safe procedure when basic precautions are followed. The rate of pneumothorax, a complication associated with TBB, is low. Despite advances in immunology and genetics, TBB remains the gold standard for detecting acute rejection (AR) following lung transplantation. Given its diagnostic value, we believe that the procedure should not be avoided due to the risks of complications.
