Diagnostic yields were similar for sarcoidosis, while cryobiopsy was more sensitive than TBNA for lymphomas and metastatic adenopathies. No complications occurred during the procedure or during patient follow-up. They concluded that EBUS-TBCB, following their method, is a minimally invasive, rapid, and safe technique that can be performed in a bronchoscopy suite under moderate sedation, with superior diagnostic yield compared to EBUS-TBNA, especially in cases of lymphoproliferative disorders and lymph node metastases or when more biopsy material is needed for molecular testing.</p><p id="par0110" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In our series, we achieved diagnostic yields of 64% and 90%, respectively. We were concerned about the low yield of EBUS-TBNA, which we attributed to the small number of samples obtained per puncture (an average of 2), with 70% of these performed using cytology needles and without ROSE. However, in terms of diagnostic yield, viability, and safety of the EBUS-TBCB technique, our results are comparable to those currently published. As explained in the material and methods section, we used the technique described by Ariza-Pallares<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0050"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">12</span></a> in our study, which enhances the safety and simplicity of the procedure by eliminating the need for incision and electrocautery.</p><p id="par0115" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Moreover, sample quality is essential for achieving a good diagnostic yield. Maturu et al.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0055"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">13</span></a> observed an increase in diagnostic yield of 59.3% with EBUS-TBCB in patients with inadequate samples by EBUS-TBNA. Therefore, we believe that the larger size and better preservation of tissue architecture in samples obtained through EBUS-TBCB are the significant advantages of cryobiopsies. In our series, the average size of cryobiopsies was 0.47<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>±<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>0.28<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>cm, compared to 0.18<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>±<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>0.16<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>cm for puncture-obtained samples.</p><p id="par0120" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Cases diagnosed as neoplasms (including lymphoproliferative syndromes) were very similar between EBUS-TBNA and EBUS-TBCB, with 19 and 21 cases, respectively. The difference in diagnostic yield was much more favorable for EBUS-TBCB in benign (infectious/inflammatory) pathologies: 7 cases compared to 24 mediastinal cryobiopsies. Most of these cases were related to adenopathy with sinus histiocytosis and reactive lymphadenitis, including a case of tuberculosis and one of Actinomyces infection.

It could potentially obviate the need for repeat procedures (rebiopsies) or other more invasive and costly surgical interventions. However, the technique is of very recent description, and the literature remains limited, necessitating further studies to establish its role in the diagnosis of mediastinal lesions accessible via bronchoscopy.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0060"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">14</span></a></p></span></span>" "textoCompletoSecciones" => array:1 [ "secciones" => array:10 [ 0 => array:3 [ "identificador" => "xres2010096" "titulo" => "Abstract" "secciones" => array:4 [ 0 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0005" "titulo" => "Introduction" ] 1 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0010" "titulo" => "Methods" ] 2 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0015" "titulo" => "Results" ] 3 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0020" "titulo" => "Conclusions" ] ] ] 1 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "xpalclavsec1721999" "titulo" => "Keywords" ] 2 => array:3 [ "identificador" => "xres2010097" "titulo" => "Resumen" "secciones" => array:4 [ 0 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0025" "titulo" => "Introducción" ] 1 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0030" "titulo" => "Métodos" ] 2 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0035" "titulo" => "Resultados" ] 3 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0040" "titulo" => "Conclusiones" ] ] ] 3 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "xpalclavsec1722000" "titulo" => "Palabras clave" ] 4 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0005" "titulo" => "Introduction" ] 5 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0010" "titulo" => "Material and methods" ] 6 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0015" "titulo" => "Results" ] 7 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0020" "titulo" => "Discussion" ] 8 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0025" "titulo" => "Conclusion" ] 9 => array:1 [ "titulo" => "References" ] ] ] "pdfFichero" => "main.pdf" "tienePdf" => true "PalabrasClave" => array:2 [ "en" => array:1 [ 0 => array:4 [ "clase" => "keyword" "titulo" => "Keywords" "identificador" => "xpalclavsec1721999" "palabras" => array:3 [ 0 => "Transbronchial mediastinal cryobiopsy" 1 => "Endobronchial ultrasound-guided" 2 => "Mediastinal lesions" ] ] ] "es" => array:1 [ 0 => array:4 [ "clase" => "keyword" "titulo" => "Palabras clave" "identificador" => "xpalclavsec1722000" "palabras" => array:3 [ 0 => "Criobiopsia transbronquial mediastínica" 1 => "Ultrasonografía endobronquial" 2 => "Lesiones mediastínicas" ] ] ] ] "tieneResumen" => true "resumen" => array:2 [ "en" => array:3 [ "titulo" => "Abstract" "resumen" => "<span id="abst0005" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0010">Introduction</span><p id="spar0020" class="elsevierStyleSimplePara elsevierViewall">Endobronchial ultrasonography-guided transbronchial fine-needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) has the drawback of providing small sample sizes for accurate diagnosis.
