abstract:Bronchial brushing is a procedure in which cells are taken from the inside of the airway mucosa or bronchial lesions through catheter-based brushing under direct visualization or fluoroscopic guidance. Flexible brushes are passed through the bronchoscope, and the bronchial surface is gently abraded to obtain the specimen.
CONCLUSION: Combinationof transcatheterbronchialbrushing, forcepsandselectivebronchography has made it possible to obtain ahigherdiagnosis rate (97 6%).
