Summary
To demonstrated the efficacy and safety of taking biopsy specimens from parietal pleura in undiagnosed exudative pleural effusion
Detailed description
Pleural effusions are either transudate or exudate according to the biochemical analysis of aspirated pleural fluid. Thoracentesis or blind pleural biopsy may not provide a definitive diagnosis. Cryobiopsy has more successful diagnostic results than forceps biopsies with complications (only hemorrhage) during procedures. Cryobiopsy can obtain more diagnostic biopsies due to the size of the biopsies and best property in expressions of an artifact-free sample area
