The effect age, sex, number fiducials placed, performance concomitant biopsy on were assessed. Results Of total 221 16 (33%) had procedure-related pneumothorax. There was no significant difference in pneumothorax rate based age ( P = 0.16), sex > 0.99), placed 0.21). Overall, 6 (12.5%) required thoracostomy tube. Performance core needle at time 64% compared 26% without biopsies 0.03). Postprocedural CT demonstrated hemorrhage 9 (19%). Two hemoptysis; one admission. Patients' statistically implications parenchymal incidence. Conclusion Approximately third develop during Most are asymptomatic do not require thoracostomy. A concurrent an increased risk Hemorrhage occurs but usually clinically insignificant.
