Diagnostic performance and safety of transbronchial lung cryobiopsy in the study of interstitial lung diseases: a single-center experience
TBLC provides a specific diagnosis and spares a SLB in at least 2/3 of cases requiring a lung biopsy, with an acceptable incidence of pneumothorax and moderate/severe bleeding. TBLC should be further standardized to prevent inconsistencies in diagnostic performance estimates.
