摘要: PURPOSE The aim of the study was to compare rate pneumothorax and chest tube placement in patients undergoing conventional lung biopsy with those core for biomarker analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-three had biopsies performed analysis (5 male, 18 female patients, mean age 67 y), 173 underwent standard diagnostic (86 87 68 y). All were under computed tomography guidance using coaxial technique (19 G introducer needle 20 needle). number samples noted each case, all complications recorded accordance Society Interventional Radiology guidelines. RESULTS In group, a 5.1 (range, 1 10) obtained. 2.9 6) 37.6% group 30.4% (P=0.505). 16.8% 8.7% (P=0.319). Lesion size found be an independent predictor (P=0.031), whereas tract length both (P<0.001) (P=0.005) upon multivariate CONCLUSIONS There is no statistically significant difference incidence or between requiring increased
