Application of Transbronchial Cryobiopsy in the Diagnosis of Progressive Pulmonary Fibrosis:a Multicenter Prospective Study
The goal of this clinical study is to learn about the diagnostic effectiveness, safety, and influencing factors of transbronchial cryobiopsy(TBLC)in progressive pulmonary fibrosis. The main question it aims to answer are: • Determine the prognosis, health economics, and therapeutic strategy changes of patients with TBLC retrograde malleable pulmonary fibrosis. Participants will be randomly divided into two groups, and received TBLB or TBLC.
• Patients with PPF, ≥18 years of age, unclassified ILD, HRCT ≤3 months, forced vital capacity (FVC)≥50% predicted value, pulmonary carbon monoxide diffusion (DLCO)≥35% predicted value, echocardiography ≤12 months, estimated pulmonary systolic blood pressure ≤40 mmHg, Body mass index (BMI)≤35 kg/m2.
