Description
Summary:The clots that were formed were removed using the large rigid suction catheter before further cryobiopsy was performed from a different lung segment. [...]the use of the rigid bronchoscope allows the performance of subsequent biopsies even if significant bleeding ensues after the first or second biopsy attempts. [...]the performance of cryo-TBLB without an artificial airway, although described in previous studies and attempted by us recently, is feasible but may be associated with complications.
