Abstract
Elective thoracoscopic lung biopsy among patients with ILD is associated with a low risk of operative mortality and postoperative respiratory failure. Attention to the presence of pulmonary hypertension, preoperative corticosteroid treatment, and diffusion capacity may help inform risk stratification for thoracoscopic lung biopsy among patients with ILD.
