Cryobiopsy in interstitial lung disease: a real-life experience from a single center in Argentina. Transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) has been recently introduced for the histological assessment of interstitial lung diseases. The objectives were to assess the diagnostic yield and safety of TBLC for interstitial lung diseases in our setting.

[Bilateral single sesion whole lung lavage under venous-venous ECMO in a case of severe pulmonary alveolar proteinosis: five years follow up].

Unlabelled: Introduction: Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare disease caused by accumulation of proteinaceous material in the alveolar spaces. The most common mechanism implied is the development of antibodies directed to granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF). which inhibits activation of alveolar macrophage, thereby causing accumulation of surfactant.
