Background/aim: Diagnosis of interstitial lung diseases requires a multidisciplinary approach, and a gold standard for histological diagnosis is open lung biopsy. Transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) and in recent years an alternative method, cryobiopsy (TBLC), are used for the diagnosis of parenchymal lung lesions. The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of concomitant conventional TBLB and TBLC.Materials and methods: A total of 82 patients who underwent TBLC for diagnosis of diffuse parenchymal lung diseases at Dr. Suat Seren Chest Diseases and Surgery Training and Research Hospital between 2015 and 2018 were screened retrospectively and included in the study. Of the patients, 53.7% (n: 44) were male, and 46.4% (n:38) of them were female. The mean age was 58.37 (±9.33) years. First TBLB and then TBLC were performed to all patients in the same session and their diagnostic performances were compared.Results: Although both procedures were done in the same session, 45 patients (54.9%) were diagnosed with TBLB and 75 patients (91.5%) were diagnosed with TBLC (P ˂ 0.001). Hemorrhage was observed in 39 patients (47.6%), but only one had a massive hemorrhage. Pneumothorax was observed in 6 patients (7.3%) and none of them required tube drainage.Conclusion: Transbronchial lung cryobiopsy is a promising technique for the diagnosis of parenchymal lung diseases compared to transbronchial lung biopsy.

Background: Transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) is a new technique that enables larger tissue collection than can be obtained by conventional transbronchial lung biopsy. TBLC is becoming popular worldwide and is performed for diffuse lung disease and lung cancer. However, only a few reports of TBLC have been published in Japan. This study was performed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TBLC at our hospital and compare these findings with past reports.Methods: From April 2018 to January 2020, 38 patients who underwent TBLC for diffuse lung disease at our hospital were evaluated with respect to age, sex, biopsy site, biopsy size, diagnostic disease, and complications.Results: The patients who underwent TBLC constituted 20 men and 18 women with an average age of 63.7 years. The average sample size was 5.7 mm, and the diagnostic rate was 65.7% (25/38). Grade ≥2 complications included bleeding (15.8%), pneumothorax (2.6%), and atrial fibrillation (2.6%).Conclusions: TBLC was considered to be useful for the diagnosis of diffuse lung disease and could be safely performed.
