Ultrasound may spare lung transplant patients from painful biopsies

NCT ID NCT04582279

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study explores whether a lung ultrasound can safely detect rejection or infection in lung transplant recipients who have no symptoms. Currently, patients need an invasive bronchoscopy with biopsy to check for rejection. If ultrasound works, it could offer a faster, safer, and less painful alternative. The study will enroll 90 adult lung transplant patients at Mayo Clinic.
