Peripheral Airway Biopsy in Sarcoidosis

NCT05759221 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 79

Last updated 2024-04-05

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Airway involvement in sarcoidosis was demonstrated in a meaningful, albeit variable, proportion of patients through biopsy of the central, endoscopically visible airways. Ideally, biopsy of peripheral airways, nowadays possible with the introduction in the market of ultrathin bronchoscopes, might be associated with an increased diagnostic yield for the detection of granulomas.
