Diagnosis of Peripheral Pulmonary Lesions Using Forceps and 1.1- or 1.7-mm Cryoprobes: A Randomised Trial
The 1.1-mm and 1.7-mm cryoprobes displayed comparable diagnostic yield, ability to provide molecular pathology information, and safety. Forceps biopsy was inferior to cryobiopsy in all aspects except safety.
