Comparison of 1.7 mm and 1.9 mm Cryoprobes in Specimen Quality for Fibrotic Interstitial Lung Disease
Background: The diagnosis of interstitial lung disease (ILD) by transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) has mostly been reported using conventional 1.9 mm probes. The aim of this study was to fully investigate the impact of replacing it with new 1.7 mm probes.
