Brief Title: EBUS Guided Cryo Biopsy of Solitary Pulmonary Nodules
Official Title:
Study ID: NCT01221493
Brief Summary: To proof the feasibility and safety of EBUS guided transbronchial cryo biopsies in peripheral lung lesions
Detailed Description: Solitary pulmonary nodule are a diagnostic dilemma. Nowadays not only the basic tissue diagnosis is necessary, molecular signals are state of the art. Therefore more tissue is necessary. With a cryoprobe the amount of tissue is increased compared to the classical forceps biopsy.
