Analysis of complications of CT-guided percutaneous pulmonary biopsy / 中国介入影像与治疗学

ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze the influence factors of complications in CT-guided percutaneous pulmonary biopsy,and to explore the optimal methods of operation.Methods Totally 410 patients who underwent CT-guided percutaneous pulmonary biopsy were retrospectively analyzed,and the complications of biopsy were observed.Results Pulmo-related complications occurred in 54 patients (54/410,13.17%) ,including pneumothorax in 18 patients (18/410,4.39%) ,1 of them had pneumothorax and pulmonary bleeding around the needles in 35 patients (35/410,8.54%) ,15 of which with haemoptysis (15/410,3.66%) ,and 1 patient had acute pleura reaction.No severe complications such as infection.excessive bleeding,hemothorax,aeroembolism,needle track implantation metastasis occurred.Conclusion Accurate and skillful CT-guiding techniques and appropriate operation methods are important to improve the success rate and to reduce complications of CT-guided percutaneous pulmonary biopsy.
