This research aims to evaluate the efficacy of cryotherapy via bronchoscopy for lung biopsy in pediatric transplant recipients.
Utilized flexible bronchoscopy to perform cryobiopsy in pediatric lung transplant patients.
Assessed outcomes related to tissue collection, patient recovery, and complications.
Cryobiopsy yielded higher quality tissue samples compared to traditional methods.
No significant complications were recorded, indicating a safe approach for pediatric patients.
