[Transbronchial brush biopsy under TV-fluoroscopy control (author's transl)].

Transbronchial brush biopsy is indicated when routine methods fail to establish the diagnosis of a pulmonary lesion. More than 50 biopsies have been performed without complications. The diagnostic accuracy of about 50% positive reports will definitively improve with the better selection of cases and with greater experience with this technique.

[Endobronchial brush biopsy].

Bronchial brushing under fluoroscopy control is used in the diagnosis of pulmonary lesions which are beyond reach of the bronchoscope. A small nylon or steel brush is passed through a bronchial catheter and tissue material from the lesion is taken for cytologic and bacteriologic studies. The technique described is easy to learn, relatively safe, is well tolerated by patients and gives good diagnostic results.
