Highlights

  • Transbronchial cryobiopsy (TBCB) represents a promising approach for monitoring after lung transplantation.

  • TBCB has the advantage over transbronchial forceps biopsy (TBFB) in obtaining larger tissue samples and reducing tissue artifacts.

  • TBCB improves the diagnostic yield for acute and chronic rejection following lung transplantation, with safety comparable to TBFB.
