ABSTRACT

Objective To study the technique and clinical significance of percutaneous mediastinum biopsy guided by CT. Methods 35 cases with mediastinal masses were undergone this procedure. Results The successful rate of the procedure was 100%. The successful punctural rates reached 100% for malignant neoplasms(21/21)85.71% for benign lesions(11/14), and the diagnostic accuracy was 94.21%(33/35). The complication of pneumothorax occurred in 3 cases, and mediastinal bleeding presented in 1 case. Conclusions CT-guided percutaneous mediastinum biopsy possesses high diagnostic accuracy, simultaneously with great help for the management.
