The Effect of Using Different Types of Forceps in the Efficacy of Transbronchial Lung Biopsy.

abstract：PURPOSE:Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare, progressive, frequently lethal cystic lung disease that almost exclusively affects women. Prognostic information in LAM has been limited by small numbers and heterogeneous study methodology. Early retrospective cohorts cited 5- and 10-year mortality of 40 and 80 %, resp...
