Lung Cryobiopsy

Bronchoscopic Lung Cryobiopsy (BLC) is a novel bronchoscopic technique for obtaining lung biopsy. It involves the bronchoscopic placement of a flexible cryoprobe inside the lung parenchyma, freezing the probe, and shearing out the lung tissue frozen around the tip.

This procedure is used to biopsy lungs in cases of Interstitial lung disease and peripheral nodules. This is a safer alternative to an open lung Biopsy.

Dr. Bharat Gopal is a pioneer in the procedure and an expert trainer at various workshops all over India.
