Prospective Randomized Controlled Study Comparing Diagnostic Yield of Endobronchial Cryo Biopsy vs Forceps Biopsy in Patients Undergoing Endobronchial Ultrasound Guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration for Suspected Sarcoidosis
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Device
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
Objective: To evaluate the overall diagnostic yield of combined endobronchial biopsy and EBUS-TBNA in patients undergoing routine EBUS-TBNA for suspected sarcoidosis. The relevance and the expected outcome of the proposed study 1. The study will provide insight to obtain an endobronchial biopsy either with cryo probe or forceps 2. The study will also provide information regarding overall increase in diagnostic yield if any when the endobronchial biopsies are combined with EBUS-TBNA.
