Frozen lung probe could improve biopsy and ablation
NCT ID NCT05948904
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study uses donated human lungs to develop a standard method for a new freezing catheter that can take tissue samples (biopsy) and destroy abnormal tissue (ablation). Researchers will test different freezing times and temperatures to find the safest and most effective technique. The goal is to prepare for future use in patients with lung disease.
