Transbronchial lung cryobiopsy may be of value for nonresolving acute respiratory distress syndrome: Case series and systematic literature review

Identification of pathologic features is helpful for the management of nonresolving acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) is a novel biopsy technique that may have comparable utility to surgical biopsy. The aim of this study was to assess the value of TBLC in patients with nonresolving ARDS.
