Conditions

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • . Assess the diagnostic yield and show the feasibility and safety of endobronchial biopsies using the flexible cryoprobe.

    size (im millimeter) of biopsy from endobronchial lesion obtained by cryoprobe in comparison to those obtained bu flexible forceps

    1 year

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • complication assessment

    1 year

Study Arms (1)

patients with endobronchial lesions

EXPERIMENTAL

flexible bronchoscoy will be performed to patients with endobronchial lesions and biopsy from the lesions by forceps and cryoprope will be obtained

Device: cryobiopsy

Interventions

. The cryobiopsy samples will be obtained by advancement of the cryoprobe into the working channel of the bronchoscope to touch the tip of the endobronchial tumor. The freezing time will be approximately 4 seconds. Then, flexible bronchoscope together with tissue sample attached to the tip of the frozen probe will be extracted outside the bronchial tree. The tissue sample will be released from the probe's tip by plunging it into saline at room temperature. FB will be reintroduced after cryobiopsy to evaluate and control the bleeding.
