Ipsilateral pneumothoraces are a common complication after transbronchial forceps biopsy. In this case report, a contralateral tension pneumothorax and a pneumoperitoneum occurred following transbronchial forceps biopsy in addition to an ipsilateral pneumothorax.

Sublober resection of small peripheral lung lesions using video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery may require marking and confirmation using 3D imaging in the interventional radiology suite or in the hybrid operating room (HOR) before surgery is started. We report a novel approach for intraoperative transbronchial metallic coil marking followed by thoracoscopic wedge resection in a conventional operating room under mobile 3D C-arm guidance. Under general anesthesia, an ultrathin video-bronchoscope was inserted into an objective bronchus guided with virtual bronchoscopic navigation, and a coil-feeding microcatheter was introduced through the bronchoscope's channel.

A 71-year-old man with follicular lymphoma of the right inguinal lymph node was referred to our hospital owing to mediastinal lymph node enlargement (left #12). The patient had a history of cyclosporine (CYS-A) and steroid therapy for fibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonitis. Endobronchial ultrasound-transbronchial aspiration and endobronchial ultrasound-guided intranodal forceps biopsy (EBUS-IFB) were performed under conscious sedation using midazolam and fentanyl.

Unlabelled: Bronchoscopy has changed considerably in recent years as a result of technical innovations and health economic pressure. There is little current information available on the reality of bronchoscopy care in Germany.

Methodology: In September 2022, sites where bronchoscopy was carried out were systematically surveyed regarding structural and process quality features in an anonymized DGP survey with 33 questions.

Background: Peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs) are frequently identified and require diagnostic sampling. Diagnostic yield of radial endobronchial ultrasound (rEBUS) guided bronchoscopic biopsies is suboptimal, despite ultrasound confirmation of navigation success. Pairing ultrathin bronchoscopy and peripheral transbronchial needle aspiration (pTBNA) may improve yield.

The gold standard for histological acute cellular rejection diagnosis is transbronchial forceps biopsy (FB), but in recent years, transbronchial cryobiopsy (CB) has been increasingly used. This study aims to compare the diagnostic rate and safety of FBs and CBs performed in two different periods. We retrospectively reviewed our case history for the two biopsy procedures: 251 FBs (223 for surveillance purposes and 28 for clinical indication) and 218 consecutive CBs (159 for surveillance purposes and 59 for clinical indication).
