Preface
This book originates from postgraduate meetings on transbronchial lung cryobiopsy annually held in Ravenna (Italy) since 2014 (endorsed by the Italian Association of Hospital Pulmonologists (Associazione Italiana Pneumologi Ospedalieri, AIPO)), during which collaborations with experts around the world on this specific topic were started or consolidated. It is also the fruit of the experience acquired in the GB Morgagni Hospital in Forlì (Italy) in which transbronchial cryobiopsy was introduced in clinical activities since 2010. In this center, more than 1000 transbronchial lung biopsy procedures were carried out so far. Finally during this period, I had the opportunity to be invited in different centers around the world to present and discuss data on this new technique and also to be appointed as Full Professor of Pulmonary Medicine in the Aarhus University Hospital, Aarhus (Denmark). In this period, this procedure was introduced in the clinical practice also in that institute. Therefore, suggestions provided by people I met during these meetings and the experience accumulated in Denmark contributed to build up the Forlì approach to transbronchial cryobiopsy and are condensed in this book. The objective of this book—after a concise clinical an
