Abstract

Objective: To compare the diagnostic rate and safety of postoperative complications between transbronchial cryobiopsy (TBCB) and transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) in patients with lung transplantation. Methods: A retrospective analysis of patients who underwent TBCB or TBLB in the Department of Lung Transplantation in China-Japan Friendship Hospital from June 2017 to June 2024 was conducted to determine the postoperative complications and analyze clinical characteristics, procedures, diagnostic rates and safety. Results: Thirty-five and 153 patients with lung transplantation received TBCB and TBLB, respectively. Patients who received TBCB had lower preoperative oxygenation index (t'=2.4, P<0.01). Meanwhile, the pathological diagnosis rate (85.7% vs. 45.7%, χ²=18.27, P<0.01) and clinical diagnosis rate (94.2% vs. 69.9%, χ²=8.80, P<0.01) of patients who received TBCB were significantly higher than those who received TBLB. There was no significant difference in the incidence of severe bleeding (2.9% vs. 0.7%, χ²=1.3, P=0.86) and pneumothorax (0 vs. 3.9%, χ²=0.43, P=0.24) between patients receiving TBCB and TBLB. The most common complications after lung transplantation in the group of TBCB were chronic lung allograft dysfunction (45.4%, 15/33), antibody mediated rejection (18.2%, 6/33) and organizing pneumonia (12.2%, 4/33). While antibody mediated rejection (29.9%, 32/107), chronic lung allograft dysfunction (16.8%, 18/107), and pneumonia (16.8%, 18/107) were more frequent in the patients who received TBLB. Conclusions: TBCB has a high diagnostic value for postoperative complications after lung transplantation, with an acceptable complication rate of bleeding and pneumothorax.

目的: 比较经支气管肺冷冻活检(TBCB)和经支气管肺活检(TBLB)在肺移植术后并发症的诊断率和安全性。 方法: 回顾性分析中日友好医院肺移植科2017年6月至2024年6月间连续接受TBCB或TBLB的肺移植术后患者,以确定其术后并发症,并分析患者临床特征、操作流程、诊断率及安全性。 结果: 35例和153例肺移植术后患者分别接受了TBCB和TBLB,接受TBCB的患者操作前氧合指数更低(t=2.4,P<0.01),接受TBCB的患者病理诊断率(85.7% vs 45.7%,χ²=18.27,P<0.01)和临床诊断率(94.2% vs 69.9%,χ²=8.80,P<0.01)明显高于接受TBLB的患者。接受TBCB和TBLB的患者重度出血发生率(2.9% vs 0.7%,χ²=1.30,P=0.86)和气胸的发生率(0 vs 3.9%,χ²=0.43,P=0.24)差异无统计学意义。接受TBCB患者肺移植术后常见并发症为慢性肺移植物功能障碍(45.4%,15/33)、抗 体 介 导 排 异 反 应(18.2%,6/33)、机化性肺炎(12.2%,4/33),而TBLB患者为抗 体 介 导 排 异 反 应(29.9%,32/107)、慢性肺移植物功能障碍(16.8%,18/107)、肺炎(16.8%,18/107)。 结论: TBCB对于肺移植术后的并发症诊断价值高,出血和气胸风险可控。.
