Clinical outcomes of transbronchial cryobiopsy using a 1.1-mm diameter cryoprobe for peripheral lung lesions - A prospective pilot study

•Transbronchial cryobiopsy is a novel method for the diagnosis of lung nodules.•The new 1.1-mm cryoprobe showed overall diagnostic yield up to 90%.•The diagnostic yield showed no difference based on lesion size, RP-EBUS findings, and location.•1.1-mm cryoprobe is a reasonable tool without serious complications.
