Abstract
The first description of performing a new diagnostic procedure, cryobiopsy, in lung transplant recipients in Poland. Three cases of patients after lung transplantation were analyzed in context of the procedure of cryobiopsy, which was performed in a hybrid room with a bronchoscopic video track and C-arm radiograph. Patients were subjected to complete anesthesia and intubated. Two or three sections with an average diameter of 5 mm were collected. The sections were large and fully diagnostic. In all 3 described cases they brought a decisive element into diagnosis. Cryobiopsy is a useful tool in the differential diagnosis of lesions and complications that occur after lung transplantation.
