Robotic-Assisted Bronchoscopy-Guided Transbronchial Cryobiopsy Versus Transbronchial Needle Aspiration in Peripheral Pulmonary Lesions
TBCB demonstrated superior DY compared with TBNA in PPLs, independent of nodule size. In addition, our study highlights the low complication rate associated with TBCB, evidenced by the absence of grade 3 or 4 bleeding and the low incidence of pneumothorax. These findings support the use of TBCB as a primary diagnostic approach for PPLs and warrant further investigation into its broader clinical applications.
