Endobronchial ultrasound-guided sampling: diagnostic yield of needle biopsy and cryobiopsy in addition to needle aspiration
Both TBNB and cryobiopsy enhance the diagnostic yield of EBUS-TBNA in benign conditions. Multiple passes with 3 biopsy tools at an individual lymph node is safe and feasible. Cryobiopsy provides superior sample quality relative to TBNB and superior yield vs TBNA in lymphoma.
