Clinical Trial: Robotic-Assisted Versus Conventional Bronchoscopy for Cryobiopsy in the Diagnosis of Interstitial Lung Disease

U.S., March 31 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07500818) titled 'Robotic-Assisted Versus Conventional Bronchoscopy for Cryobiopsy in the Diagnosis of Interstitial Lung Disease' on March 18.

Brief Summary: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) often requires histopathological confirmation when high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) findings are inconclusive. Transbronchial lung cryobiopsy has emerged as a less invasive alternative to surgical lung biopsy, but diagnostic yield remains variable and dependent on biopsy location and procedural precision.

Robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (RAB) combined with cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) may allow more precise navigation to target lung segments and ...
