2021, American Journal of Emergency MedicineCitation Excerpt :It is also associated with older age and with more advanced lung disease. Iatrogenic hemoptysis complicates 0.26 to 5% of flexible bronchoscopies; however, the majority of this hemoptysis is small volume, and massive hemoptysis will affect only 0.2% of those patients undergoing transbronchial biopsy [23,24]. Table 1 outlines the most common causes of massive hemoptysis.
Elective intubation and positive pressure ventilation for transbronchial lung biopsy
2017, Journal of Surgical ResearchCitation Excerpt :In the early period of fiberoptic bronchoscopy and TBLB on nonmechanically ventilated patients, pneumothorax was reported to be as high as 12-19%.9,10 In the literature to date, the rate of pneumothorax secondary to TBLB has been 1%-7%.11-16 On the other hand, the rate of pneumothorax after TBLB on mechanically ventilated patients has been reported higher, with a rate of 0%-15%.3-8
EBUS-TBNA as a Promising Method for the Evaluation of Tumor PD-L1 Expression in Lung Cancer
2017, Clinical Lung CancerCitation Excerpt :Because most lung cancers are diagnosed at an advanced stage, we are frequently required to conduct molecular testing using a small amount of tumor tissue. To collect small amounts of tissue, transbronchial biopsy (TBB) has been conventionally performed.10,11 Recently, endobronchial ultrasound-transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is emerging as a novel minimally invasive method for collecting greater amounts of tissue than TBB from mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes.12-16
