NCT06251687

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical study is to learn about the diagnostic effectiveness, safety, and influencing factors of transbronchial cryobiopsy(TBLC)in progressive pulmonary fibrosis. The main question it aims to answer are: • Determine the prognosis, health economics, and therapeutic strategy changes of patients with TBLC retrograde malleable pulmonary fibrosis. Participants will be randomly divided into two groups, and received TBLB or TBLC.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • the diagnostic performance of transbronchial cryobiopsy(TBLC)

    the sensitivity and specificity of transbronchial cryobiopsy(TBLC)in suspected progressive pulmonary fibrosis

    1 month after transbronchial cryobiopsy

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • the safety of transbronchial cryobiopsy(TBLC)

    7 days and 1 month after transbronchial cryobiopsy

Study Arms (2)

Transbronchial Cryobiopsy (TBLC)

EXPERIMENTAL

Transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) has been increasingly utilised to diagnose diffuse parenchymal lung diseases

Procedure: Transbronchial Cryobiopsy,TBLC

Transbronchial Lung Biopsy (TBLB)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) is a relatively safe technique routinely employed by pulmonologists for the diagnosis of diffuse parenchymal lung disease

Procedure: Transbronchial Lung Biopsy,TBLB

Interventions

Transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) is a novel technique that has proved its diagnostic value in various diffuse parenchymal lung diseases
