The Diagnostic Yield and Safety of Transbronchial Cryobiopsy in The Pulmonary Periphral Nodule

The Diagnostic Yield and Safety of Transbronchial Cryobiopsy Under The Guidance of The Endobronchial Ultrasound in The Pulmonary Periphral Nodule: A Multicenter Prospective Random Control Trial

Transbronchial cryobiopsy under the guidance of endobronchial ultrasound is performed in patients with pulmonary peripheral nodule, and assess the diagnostic yield and safety.

Transbronchial cryobiopsy under the guidance of endobronchial ultrasound is performed in patients with pulmonary peripheral nodule, and assess the diagnostic yield and safety. This is a multi-center prospective randomized control trial.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. The patients are admitted as Pulmonary Periphral Nodule, while undefined after thorough history collection, laboratory examination and radiological data.
2. The longest diameter of the Pulmonary Periphral Nodule is less than 30mm in HRCT.
3. The Pulmonary Periphral Nodule can be detected by radial-EBUS
4. Transbronchial cryobiopsy(TBCB) is indicated by clinicians for definitive diagnosis and patients are content with the examination with agreement signed.
5. Routine blood test, ECG examination, coagulation function, chest HRCT have been completed.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. The longest diameter of the Pulmonary Periphral Nodule is more than 30mm.
2. The Pulmonary Periphral lesions cannot be detected by the radial endobronchial ultrasound.
3. The clinical examinations mentioned above are not completed. The patient cannot endure or does not agree the procedure
