Transbronchial biopsy results according to diffuse interstitial lung disease classification. Cryobiopsy versus forceps: MULTICRIO study.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:In recent years, transbronchial cryobiopsy (TBCB) has come to be increasingly used in interventional pulmonology units as it obtains larger and better-quality samples than conventional transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) with forceps. No multicenter studies have been performed, however, that analyse and compare TBCB and TBLB safety and yield according to the interstitial lung disease (ILD) classification. OBJECTIVES:We compared the diagnostic yield and safety of TBCB with cryoprobe sampling versus conventional TBLB forceps sampling in the same patient. METHOD:Prospective multicenter clinical study of patients with ILD indicated for lung biopsy. Airway management with orotracheal tube, laryngeal mask and rigid bronchoscope was according to the protocol of each centre. All procedures were performed using fluoroscopy and an occlusion balloon. TBLB was followed by TBCB. Complications were recorded after both TBLB and TBCB. RESULTS:Included were 124 patients from 10 hospitals. Airway management was orotracheal intubation in 74% of cases. Diagnostic yield according to multidisciplinary committee results for TBCB was 47.6% and for TBLB was 19.4% (p<0.0001). Diagnostic yield was higher for TBCB compared to TBLB for two groups: idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (IIPs) and ILD of known cause or association (OR 2.5; 95% CI: 1.4-4.2 and OR 5.8; 95% CI: 2.3-14.3, respectively). Grade 3 (moderate) bleeding after TBCB occurred in 6.5% of patients compared to 0.8% after conventional TBLB. CONCLUSIONS:Diagnostic yield for TBCB was higher than for TBLB, especially for two disease groups: IIPs and ILD of known cause or association. The increased risk of bleeding associated with TBCB confirms the need for safe airway management and prophylactic occlusion-balloon use.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Bronchoscopic cryobiopsy is a new method of bronchoscopic tissue sampling in interstitial lung disease. In case of transbronchial biopsies, the resultant tissue samples are of high quality, and the lung parenchyma seen in the samples is adequate for a histological diagnosis in most cases. Bleeding after transbronchial biopsy is the most important procedure- associated complication and may be life threatening. This study addresses the risk of bleeding of transbronchial cryobiopsy. METHODS:In this prospective, randomized, controlled multicentre study 359 patients with interstitial lung disease requiring diagnostic bronchoscopic tissue sampling were included. Both conventional transbronchial forceps biopsy and transbronchial cryobiopsy were undertaken in each patient. The sequence of the procedures was randomized. Bleeding severity was evaluated semi-quantitatively as "no bleeding", "mild" (suction alone), "moderate" (additional intervention) or "severe" (prolonged monitoring necessary or fatal outcome), for each intervention. RESULTS:In 359 patients atotal of 1160 cryobiopsies and 1302 forceps biopsies were performed. Bleeding was observed after forceps biopsy in 173 patients (48.2%) and after cryobiopsy in 261 patients (72.7%). Bleeding was significantly greater in the cryobiopsy group (cryobiopsy/forceps biopsy: no bleeding 27.3%/51.8%; mild 56.5%/44.0%; moderate 15.0%/4.2%; severe 1.2%/0%; p?<?0.001). The rate of clinically relevant bleeding (moderate or severe) was higher after the cryobiopsy procedures compared to the forceps biopsies (16.2% vs. 4.2%, p?<?0.05). No fatal bleeding complications occurred. CONCLUSIONS:Compared to transbronchial forceps biopsy, transbronchial cryobiopsy was associated with an increased risk of bleeding which is of clinical relevance. Therefore training and additional precautions for bleeding control should be considered. TRIAL REGISTRATION:The study was registered with clinicaltrials.gov ( NCT01894113 ).

Project description:BackgroundThe diagnostic accuracy and safety of transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) via a flexible bronchoscope under sedation compared with that of surgical lung biopsy (SLB) in the same patients is unknown.MethodsRetrospectively the data of fifty-two patients with interstitial lung diseases (median age: 63.5 years; 21 auto-antibody positive) who underwent TBLC followed by SLB (median time from TBLC to SLB: 57 days) was collected. The samples from TBLC and SLB were randomly labelled to mask the relationship between the two samples. Diagnosis was made independently by pathologists, radiologists, and pulmonary physicians in a stepwise manner, and a final diagnosis was made at multidisciplinary discussion (MDD). In each diagnostic step the specific diagnosis, the diagnostic confidence level, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) diagnostic guideline criteria, and treatment strategy were recorded.ResultsWithout clinical and radiological information, the agreement between the histological diagnoses by TBLC and SLB was 42.3% (kappa [κ] = 0.23, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.08-0.39). However, the agreement between the TBLC-MDD and SLB-MDD diagnoses and IPF/non-IPF diagnosis using the two biopsy methods was 65.4% (κ = 0.57, 95% CI: 0.42-0.73) and 90.4% (47/52), respectively. Out of 38 (73.1%) cases diagnosed with high or definite confidence at TBLC-MDD, 29 had concordant SLB-MDD diagnoses (agreement: 76.3%, κ = 0.71, 95% CI: 0.55-0.87), and the agreement for IPF/non-IPF diagnoses was 97.4% (37/38). By adding the pathological diagnosis, the inter-observer agreement of clinical diagnosis improved from κ = 0.22 to κ = 0.42 for TBLC and from κ = 0.27 to κ = 0.38 for SLB, and the prevalence of high or definite diagnostic confidence improved from 23.0% to 73.0% and from 17.3% to 73.0%, respectively. Of all 383 TBLC performed during the same period, pneumothorax occurred in 5.0% of cases, and no severe bleeding, acute exacerbation of interstitial lung disease, or fatal event was observed.ConclusionsTBLC via a flexible bronchoscope under deep sedation is safely performed, and the TBLC-MDD diagnosis with a high or definite confidence level is concordant with the SLB-MDD diagnosis in the same patients.
