Single centre experience in safety and diagnostic yield of cryobiopsy

Conclusion: Cryobiopsy is safe procedure with low incidence of serious complications (major bleeding or pneumothorax) even when it is performed without fluoroscopy. Results in our study showed lower proportion of definitive diagnosis established after cryobiopsy which can be partly explained with the lack of pathologist's experience when we started the study.
