Specimen size evaluated using the direct retrieval technique of cryobiopsy through the working channel of a therapeutic bronchoscope

A 1.1-mm ultrathin cryoprobe may be small enough to retrieve relatively large specimens through a therapeutic bronchoscope’s wide working channel, potentially simplifying and enhancing cryobiopsy procedures. The aim of this study was to evaluate the size of specimens obtained by...
