Herth, Venerino Poletti
Transbronchial cryobiopsies (TBCB) have recently been introduced as a promising and safer alternative to surgical lung biopsy in the diagnostic approach to diffuse parenchymal lung diseases (DPLD). Despite a substantial and expanding body of literature, the technique has not yet been standardized and its place in the diagnostic algorithm of DPLD remains to be defined. In part, this reflect...... hiện toàn bộ
Massive Hemoptysis: An Update on the Role of Bronchoscopy in Diagnosis and Management Tập 80 Số 1 - Trang 38-58 - 2010
Lama Sakr, Hervé Dutau
Hemoptysis is frequently encountered in clinical practice, and may be the presenting symptom of a number of diseases. Although massive hemoptysis accounts for only 5–15% of episodes, it should always be considered as a life-threatening condition that warrants effective assessment and management. In this article, we review the literature with regard to the definition, etiology, epidemiology...... hiện toàn bộ
Utility of Rapid On-Site Evaluation of Transbronchial Needle Aspirates Tập 72 Số 2 - Trang 182-188 - 2005
