Diagnostic Accuracy of Computed Tomography-Guided Noncoaxial Cutting Needle Transthoracic Lung Biopsies and the Associated Pneumothorax
This study aimed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of computed tomography (CT)-guided transthoracic biopsies of lung lesions, the incidence of pneumothorax, and to identify risk factors for mentioned complication.This was a retrospective analysis of 436 CT-guided transthoracic biopsies of lung lesions. The potential risk factors for pneumothorax were divided into three groups: patient-related, lesion-related, or procedure- related. All patients were followed for 2-12 months after the biopsy to verify the accuracy of the pathological diagnosis. The measures of diagnostic accuracies were calculated. The sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values were 94, 1%, 100%, 100%, and 73.8%. The diagnostic accuracy was 95%.Pneumothorax was reported in 115 patients (26.4%). Only one patient (0.2%) required chest tube placement. Statistical analysis showed that the size and depth of the lesion and the duration of the procedure were significantly associated with the incidence of pneumothorax (p < 0.001).
