An increasing number of peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs) requiring tissue verification to
establish a definite diagnosis for further individualized management are detected due to the …

Background Transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) is frequently described for the
diagnosis of diffuse parenchymal lung diseases (DPLD). A few studies have reported …

Abstract Background and Objective Ultrathin bronchoscopy aids in the diagnosis of
peripheral pulmonary lesions. However, both the working channel and the specimens are …

Background: Transbronchial cryobiopsy enables high-quality sample collection around the
probe tip. Meanwhile, existing cryoprobes have less flexibility and a higher risk of bleeding …

Abstract Background The LungVision system is a novel augmented‐fluoroscopy‐based real‐
time navigation and guidance technology for bronchoscopy that can be integrated with any …

Flexible bronchoscopes are being continuously improved, and an ultrathin bronchoscope
with a working channel that allows the use of a radial-type endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) …

Introduction Bronchoscopic biopsies have limited sensitivity for small, peripheral lung
nodules. Electromagnetic navigation guided bronchoscopy (ENB) with fluoroscopic digital …

Introduction Cryobiopsy is a novel diagnostic technique for thoracic diseases, which has
been extensively investigated over the past 20 years. It was originally proposed for the …

Background: The addition of cryobiopsy to conventional biopsy methods improves the
diagnostic yield of peripheral pulmonary lesions. Moreover, cryobiopsy with a guide sheath …

Background Next‐generation sequencing (NGS) has been implemented in clinical oncology
to analyze multiple genes and to guide targeted therapy. Although the pathological …
