Started bronchoscopic Lung Cryobiopsy ( BLC) at DHLI

Started bronchoscopic Lung Cryobiopsy ( BLC) at DHLI. Bronchoscopic lung cryobiopsy (BLC) is a novel bronchoscopic technique of obtaining lung biopsy. It involves the bronchoscopic placement of a flexible cryoprobe inside the lung parenchyma, freezing the probe and shearing out the lung tissue frozen around the tip. BLC yields tissue specimen larger than the conventional TBLB, resulting in a significantly higher diagnostic yield. It can also be used for therapeutic purposes like foreign body and clot removal. It's a safer alternative to surgical Lung biopsy.
