NCT05059691

Brief Summary

This study assesses the effectiveness of transbronchial cryobiopsy guided by 3-dimensional fluoroscopy. Transbronchial cryobiopsy is a procedure to collect lung tissue. The main side effect seen after a transbronchial cryobiopsy is pneumothorax (air leaking out of the lung, which may cause a completely or partially collapsed lung). The standard imaging scans used during this procedure are 2-dimensional (like a photo), which can make it difficult for the doctor to know exactly where the biopsy tool is during the procedure. If the exact location of the device is not clear, a patient can be at a higher risk of pneumothorax. Using a 3-dimensional imaging technique may help to decrease the risk of pneumothorax during transbronchial cryobiopsy.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Incidence of pneumothorax

    The proportion of patients developing pneumothorax will be compared with the proportion in the historical control (i.e., 20%) using two-sided binomial test. A p-value of less than 0.05 will indicate a statistical significance. The proportion of patients identified as developing pneumothorax and its exact 95% confidence interval will be estimated. Poisson regression model will be used to estimate the incidence of pneumothorax accounting for the number of biopsy sites.

    Up to 72 hours after cryobiopsy

Study Arms (1)

Observational (transbronchial cryobiopsy)

Patients undergo transbronchial cryobiopsy guided by three-dimensional fluoroscopy. Patients' medical records are also reviewed.

Study Population

Patients with presence of an intraparenchymal lung lesion for which cryobiopsy is deemed the most appropriate method of biopsy

You may qualify if:

  • Age 18 years or older
  • Presence of an intraparenchymal lung lesion for which cryobiopsy is deemed the most appropriate method of biopsy
  • Ability to provide informed consent

You may not qualify if:

  • Acute respiratory failure (defined as oxygen requirement \> 4 L/min by nasal cannula above baseline, or need for any intervention to support ventilation and/or gas exchange for any duration, including invasive and non-invasive positive pressure ventilation, high-flow therapy, non-rebreather mask, or Venturi mask)
  • Intensive care unit (ICU) admission
  • Forced vital capacity (FVC) \< 50% or diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (CO) (DLCO) \< 35% (if pulmonary function tests are available)
  • Known or suspected pulmonary hypertension (defined as elevated right ventricular systolic pressure on echocardiogram, if available)
  • Acute renal failure or chronic kidney disease
  • Platelets \< 100,000/uL
  • International normalized ratio (INR) \> 1.5
  • Use of anticoagulant therapy that cannot be held for 2 days
  • Use of antiplatelet therapy (other than baby aspirin) that cannot be held for 5 days
  • Any bleeding diathesis
  • Pregnancy
