Key Points

  • This research aims to explore the indications and safety of cryotherapy and cryobiopsy in pediatric patients undergoing bronchoscopy.
  • Utilized flexible bronchoscopy techniques for cryotherapy and cryobiopsy
  • Introduced a 1.1 mm cryoprobe to enhance application in pediatrics
  • Evaluated safety and complications, particularly bleeding.
  • Cryotherapy and cryobiopsy showed a high success rate among pediatric patients.
  • Bleeding was identified as the most common complication but generally mild.
  • The use of the new cryoprobe broadened the techniques' applicability in children.

Abstract

Cryotherapy and cryobiopsy via bronchoscopy in pediatrics have been increasingly utilized, demonstrating high success and favorable safety profile. The introduction of the 1.1 mm cryoprobe has facilitated its broader application to pediatrics. Bleeding was the most common complication but was generally mild in the context of the selected cases at specialized centers.
