Cryotherapy via flexible bronchoscopy: the role of cryobiopsy in pediatric lung transplantation

Key Points

• 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.
