We wholeheartedly agree with Sharp and colleagues that cost saving is another potential benefit to transbronchial cryobiopsies in addition to safety and effectiveness.Welldesigned and conducted, randomized controlled studies are needed to better define the position of transbronchial cryobiopsies in the diagnostic algorithm of interstitial and other lung diseases. There is also heterogeneity in the way the procedure is performed, so we also advocate for an evidence-based guideline to provide best practice recommendations for this procedure.
