Transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) is a useful and safe method for the diagnosis of interstitial lung disease (ILD). Herein, we describe the cases of two patients who developed ILD from anti-aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase syndrome with respir...
Pulmonary interstitial emphysema is a risk factor for poor prognosis and a cause of air leaks [0.03%]
肺间质气肿是预后不良的风险因素和气漏的原因
Yuri Tachibana,Hiroyuki Taniguchi,Yasuhiro Kondoh et al.
Yuri Tachibana et al.
Background: Pulmonary interstitial emphysema is a rare, abnormal condition in which air pressure from the alveolar airspace tears the adjacent interstitial tissues of the lung and causes the formation of cystic spaces. Pu...
