Highlights
- •
Transbronchial cryobiopsy (TBCB) represents a promising approach for monitoring after lung transplantation.
- •
TBCB has the advantage over transbronchial forceps biopsy (TBFB) in obtaining larger tissue samples and reducing tissue artifacts.
- •
TBCB improves the diagnostic yield for acute and chronic rejection following lung transplantation, with safety comparable to TBFB.
