Article Synopsis
  • * A case study of a 69-year-old man highlighted respiratory issues after 18 months of treatment, revealing significant lung damage through medical imaging and biopsy, which pointed to immune cell involvement.
  • * The findings emphasize the need for close lung monitoring in patients on biologic therapies, especially those with existing lung problems, as ixekizumab may lead to serious inflammatory responses.

Transbronchial lung cryobiopsy and pulmonary fibrosis: A never-ending story?

Heliyon

Pulmonology Unit, Department of Medical Surgical and Health Sciences, University Hospital of Cattinara, University of Trieste, 34149 Trieste, Italy.

Background: The diagnostic process of pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is often challenging, requires a collaborative effort of several experts, and often requires bioptic material, which can be difficult to obtain, both in terms of quality and technique. The main procedures available to obtain such samples are transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) and surgical lung biopsy (SLB).

Objective: The purpose of this paper is to review the evidence for the role of TBLC in the diagnostic-therapeutic process of PF.

Transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) is a useful and safe method for the diagnosis of interstitial lung disease (ILD). Herein, we describe the cases of two patients who developed ILD from anti-aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase syndrome with respiratory failure. TBLC was performed instead of surgical lung biopsy.
