Abstract
Iatrogenic pneumothorax is a relevant complication of computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous lung biopsy. The aim of the present study was to analyze the prognostic significance of texture analysis, emphysema score and muscle mass derived from CT-imaging to predict postinterventional pneumothorax after CT-guided lung biopsy. Consecutive patients undergoing CT-guided percutaneous lung biopsy between 2012 and 2021 were analyzed. Multivariate logistic regression analysis included clinical risk factors and CT-imaging features to detect associations with pneumothorax development. Overall, 479 patients (178 females, mean age 65 ± 11.7 years) underwent CT-guided percutaneous lung biopsy of which 180 patients (37.5%) developed pneumothorax including 55 patients (11.5%) requiring chest tube placement. Risk factors associated with pneumothorax were chronic-obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (p = 0.03), age (p = 0.02), total lung capacity (p < 0.01) and residual volume (p = 0.01) as well as interventional parameters needle length inside the lung (p < 0.001), target lesion attached to pleura (p = 0.04), and intervention duration (p < 0.001). The combined model demonstrated a prediction accuracy of the occurrence of pneumothorax with an AUC of 0.78 [95%CI: 0.70-0.86] with a resulting sensitivity 0.80 and a specificity of 0.66. In conclusion, radiomics features of the target lesion and the lung lobe CT-emphysema score are predictive for the occurrence of pneumothorax and need for chest insertion after CT-guided lung biopsy.

[PMID: 38759543 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejrad.2024.111508] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2023] [Revised: 03/31/2024] [Accepted: 05/13/2024] [Indexed: 05/19/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE The aim is to devise a machine learning algorithm exploiting preoperative clinical data to forecast the hazard of pneumothorax post-coaxial needle lung biopsy (CCNB), thereby informing clinical decision-making and enhancing perioperative care. METHOD This retrospective analysis aggregated clinical and imaging data from patients with lung nodules (≤3 cm) biopsies. Variable selection was done using univariate analysis and LASSO regression, with the dataset subsequently divided into training (80 %) and validation (20 %) subsets. Various machine learning (ML) classifiers were employed in a consolidated approach to ascertain the paramount model, which was followed by individualized risk profiling showcased through Shapley Additive eXplanations (SHAP). RESULTS Out of the 325 patients included in the study, 19.6% (64/325) experienced postoperative pneumothorax. High-risk factors determined were Cancer, Lesion_type, GOLD, Size, and Depth. The Gaussian Naive Bayes (GNB) classifier demonstrated superior prediction with an Area Under the Curve (AUC) of 0.82 (95% CI 0.71-0.94), complemented by an accuracy rate of 0.8, sensitivity of 0.71, specificity of 0.84, and an F1 score of 0.61 in the test cohort. CONCLUSION The formulated prognostic algorithm exhibited commendable efficacy in preoperatively prognosticating CCNB-induced pneumothorax, harboring the potential to refine personalized risk appraisals, steer clinical judgment, and ameliorate perioperative patient stewardship.

Radiol Cardiothorac Imaging 2024; 6:e230278. [PMID: 38780426 PMCID: PMC11211933 DOI: 10.1148/ryct.230278] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2023] [Revised: 02/02/2024] [Accepted: 03/27/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024]
Abstract
Purpose To develop a prediction model combining both clinical and CT texture analysis radiomics features for predicting pneumothorax complications in patients undergoing CT-guided core needle biopsy. Materials and Methods A total of 424 patients (mean age, 65.6 years ± 12.7 [SD]; 232 male, 192 female) who underwent CT-guided core needle biopsy between January 2021 and October 2022 were retrospectively included as the training data set. Clinical and procedure-related characteristics were documented. Texture analysis radiomics features were extracted from the subpleural lung parenchyma traversed by needle. Moderate pneumothorax was defined as a postprocedure air rim of 2 cm or greater. The prediction model was developed using logistic regression with backward elimination, presented by linear fusion of the selected features weighted by their coefficients. Model performance was assessed using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). Validation was conducted in an external cohort (n = 45; mean age, 58.2 years ± 12.7; 19 male, 26 female) from a different hospital. Results Moderate pneumothorax occurred in 12.0% (51 of 424) of the training cohort and 8.9% (four of 45) of the external test cohort. Patients with emphysema (P < .001) or a longer needle path length (P = .01) exhibited a higher incidence of moderate pneumothorax in the training cohort. Texture analysis features, including gray-level co-occurrence matrix cluster shade (P < .001), gray-level run-length matrix low gray-level run emphasis (P = .049), gray-level run-length matrix run entropy (P = .003), gray-level size-zone matrix gray-level variance (P < .001), and neighboring gray-tone difference matrix complexity (P < .001), showed higher values in patients with moderate pneumothorax. The combined clinical-radiomics model demonstrated satisfactory performance in both the training (AUC 0.78, accuracy = 71.9%) and external test cohorts (AUC 0.86, accuracy 73.3%). Conclusion The model integrating both clinical and radiomics features offered practical diagnostic performance and accuracy for predicting moderate pneumothorax in patients undergoing CT-guided core needle biopsy.

Computed-Tomography-Guided Lung Biopsy: A Practice-Oriented Document on Techniques and Principles and a Review of the Literature. Diagnostics (Basel) 2024; 14:1089. [PMID: 38893616 PMCID: PMC11171640 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics14111089] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2024] [Revised: 05/02/2024] [Accepted: 05/14/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024] Open
Abstract
Computed tomography (CT)-guided lung biopsy is one of the oldest and most widely known minimally invasive percutaneous procedures. Despite being conceptually simple, this procedure needs to be performed rapidly and can be subject to meaningful complications that need to be managed properly. Therefore, knowledge of principles and techniques is required by every general or interventional radiologist who performs the procedure. This review aims to contain all the information that the operator needs to know before performing the procedure. The paper starts with the description of indications, devices, and types of percutaneous CT-guided lung biopsies, along with their reported results in the literature. Then, pre-procedural evaluation and the practical aspects to be considered during procedure (i.e., patient positioning and breathing) are discussed. The subsequent section is dedicated to complications, with their incidence, risk factors, and the evidence-based measures necessary to both prevent or manage them; special attention is given to pneumothorax and hemorrhage. After conventional CT, this review describes other available CT modalities, including CT fluoroscopy and cone-beam CT. At the end, more advanced techniques, which are already used in clinical practice, like fusion imaging, are included.

Optimizing lung biopsy procedures:Comparative analysis of diagnostic efficacy and safety in experimental low-dose, conventional low-dose, and standard-dose CT-guided approaches. Eur J Radiol 2024; 172:111331. [PMID: 38295550 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejrad.2024.111331] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2023] [Revised: 01/09/2024] [Accepted: 01/22/2024] [Indexed: 02/02/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE Lung cancer is a major cause of cancer-related deaths, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis. CT-guided percutaneous lung biopsy(CT-PLB) is a valuable method for diagnosing lung lesions, but multiple scans can elevate radiation exposure. This study aims to compare diagnostic efficacy and safety across different CT-PLB protocols. METHODS 273 consecutive patients who underwent CT-PLB between June 2018 and February 2021 were enrolled, and were divided into standard-dose, conventional low-dose, and experimental low-dose groups. The study mainly evaluated technical success, diagnostic efficacy, radiation dose, complications, and image quality. RESULTS 93 patients were assigned to standard-dose group, 85 to conventional low-dose group, and 95 to experimental low-dose group. Technical success rates in these groups were 97.9%, 100%, and 97.9%, respectively. Procedure-related complications rates were similar across the groups(pneumothorax:p=0.71, hemorrhage:p=0.59). Sensitivity, specificity, and overall diagnostic accuracy were comparable among three groups(p=0.59,1.0,0.65), with respective values of 90.5%, 100%, and 93.2% in standard-dose group, 88.1%, 100%, and 90.5% in conventional low-dose group, and 91.9%, 100%, and 93.4% in experimental low-dose group. The effective dose (ED) in the experimental low-dose group was significantly lower compared to both the standard-dose and conventional low-dose CT-PLB groups[ED: 1.49(1.0∼1.97) mSv vs 5.42(3.92∼6.91) mSv vs 3.15(2.52∼4.22) mSv, p<0.001]. CONCLUSIONS This study has developed a standardized six-step procedure for CT-PLB using experimental low-dose settings. It can achieve comparable diagnostic efficacy to conventional low-dose and standard-dose CT-PLB protocols while substantially reducing radiation exposure. These findings indicate that the experimental low-dose protocol could serve as a safe and effective alternative for CT-PLB.

Lung Cancer 2023; 186:107390. [PMID: 37820540 DOI: 10.1016/j.lungcan.2023.107390] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2023] [Revised: 09/04/2023] [Accepted: 10/04/2023] [Indexed: 10/13/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The implementation of bronchial washing fluid (BWF) as a diagnostic specimen may complement the low diagnostic yields of plasma in detecting EGFR mutation (mEGFR) in non-small cell lung cancer. However, the diagnostic value of BWF in detecting mEGFR has yet to be clarified. MATERIALS AND METHODS From March 2021 to August 2022, patients with histologically confirmed NSCLC with matched tumor tissue, BWF, and/or plasma samples were enrolled. Patients were classified into either initial diagnosis or rebiopsy groups. Diagnostic yields of mEGFR in BWF and plasma were evaluated using droplet digital polymerase chain reaction and compared to mEGFR in tumor tissue as standard. RESULTS The study included 123 patients (74.1 %) in the initial diagnosis and 43 patients (25.9 %) in the rebiopsy group. BWF showed higher sensitivity, specificity, and concordance rates than plasma in both the initial diagnosis (57.4 %, 96.4 %, and 74.0 % vs. 16.4 %, 96.2 %, and 53.1 %) and the rebiopsy group (87.9 %, 60.0 %, and 81.4 % vs. 25.0 %, 75.0 %, and 41.7 %). In the initial diagnosis group, mEGFR was detected in the BWF of 13 out of 16 patients, even in the absence of tumor cells in the tissue biopsy. In these cases, EGFR test results obtained from BWF showed concordance with EGFR test results from the tumor tissue obtained through repeated biopsy or surgery later. In the rebiopsy group, T790M was detected in 16 patients (37.2 %) by tissue biopsy. The combined use of tissue biopsy and BWF increased detection, confirming T790M in 22 patients (51.2 %). DISCUSSION The detection of mEGFR using BWF shows higher diagnostic yields than plasma for both initial diagnosis and rebiopsy. T790M was detected earlier in BWF than in tissue rebiopsy in some cases, providing patients with an early opportunity to access third-generation EGFR-TKIs. The complementary use of BWF with tumor tissue may improve precision in EGFR-mutated NSCLC treatment strategies.

Pneumothorax prediction using a foraging and hunting based ant colony optimizer assisted support vector machine. Comput Biol Med 2023; 161:106948. [PMID: 37207406 DOI: 10.1016/j.compbiomed.2023.106948] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2023] [Revised: 04/04/2023] [Accepted: 04/15/2023] [Indexed: 05/21/2023]
Abstract
Although PNLB is generally considered safe, it is still invasive and risky. Pneumothorax, the most common complication of lung puncture, can cause shortness of breath, chest pain, and even life-threatening. Therefore, the auxiliary diagnosis for pneumothorax is of great clinical interest. This paper proposes an ant colony optimizer with slime mould foraging behavior and collaborative hunting, called SCACO, in which slime mould foraging behavior is combined to improve the convergence accuracy and solution quality of ACOR. Then the ability of ACO to jump out of the local optimum is optimized by an adaptive collaborative hunting strategy when trapped in the local optimum. As a first step toward Pneumothorax diagnostic prediction, we suggested an SVM classifier based on bSCACO (bSCACO-SVM), which uses the proposed SCACO's binary version as the basis for its feature selection algorithms. To demonstrate the SCACO performance, we first used the slime mould foraging behavior and adaptive cooperative hunting strategy, then compared SCACO with nine basic algorithms and nine variants, respectively. Finally, we verified bSCACO-SVM on various widely used public datasets and applied it to the Pneumothorax prediction issue, showing that it has robust classification prediction capacity and can be successfully employed for tuberculous pleural effusion diagnostic prediction.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate the diagnostic performance of computed tomography (CT) fluoroscopy-guided percutaneous transthoracic needle biopsy (PTNB) in pulmonary nodules ≤ 10 mm during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. Materials and Methods Between January 1, 2020 and April 30, 2022, a total of 359 CT fluoroscopy-guided PTNBs were performed at an interventional radiology center. Lung lesions measured between 2 mm and 108 mm. Of the 359 PTNBs, 27 (7.5%) were performed with an 18G core needle on nodules ≤ 10 mm in diameter. Results Among the 27 biopsies performed on nodules ≤ 10 mm, the lesions measured < 5 mm in four and 5-10 mm in 23. The sensitivity and overall diagnostic accuracy of PTNB were 100% and 92.3%, respectively. The mean dose of ionizing radiation during PTNB was 581.33 mGy*cm (range, 303-1,129 mGy*cm), and the mean biopsy procedure time was 6.6 min (range, 2-12 min). There were no major postprocedural complications. Conclusion CT fluoroscopy-guided PTNB appears to provide a high diagnostic yield with low complication rates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This retrospective study aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of synchronous biopsy and microwave ablation (MWA) for highly suspected malignant lung ground-glass opacities (GGOs) adjacent to the mediastinum (distance ≤10 mm). MATERIALS AND METHODS Ninety patients with 98 GGOs (diameter range, 6-30 mm), located within 10 mm of the mediastinum, underwent synchronous biopsy and MWA at a single institution from 1 May 2020, to 31 October 2021 and were enrolled in this study. Synchronous biopsy and MWA involving the completion of the biopsy and MWA in a single procedure was performed. Safety, technical success rate, and local progression-free survival (LPFS) were evaluated. The risk factors for local progression were calculated using the Mann-Whitney U test. RESULTS The technical success rate was 97.96% (96/98 patients). The LPFS rates at 3, 6, and 12 months were 95.0%, 90.0%, and 82.0%, respectively. The diagnostic rate of biopsy-proven malignancy was 72.45% (n = 71/98). Invasion of lesions into the mediastinum was a risk factor for local progression (p = 0.0077). The 30-day mortality rate was 0. The major complications were pneumothorax (13.27%), ventricular arrhythmias (3.06%), pleural effusion (1.02%), hemoptysis (1.02%), and infection (1.02%). Minor complications included pneumothorax (30.61%), pleural effusion (24.49%), hemoptysis (18.37%), ventricular arrhythmias (11.22%), structural changes in adjacent organs (3.06%), and infection (3.06%). CONCLUSIONS Synchronous biopsy and MWA was effective for treating GGOs adjacent to the mediastinum without severe complications (Society of Interventional Radiology classification E or F). Invasion of lesions into the mediastinum was identified as a risk factor for local progression.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Complications after CT-guided lung biopsy is a burden both for the individual patient and for the overall healthcare. Pneumothorax is the most common complication. This study determined the association between lung function tests and pneumothorax and chest drainage following CT-guided lung biopsy in consecutive patients in a large university hospital. RESULTS We prospectively registered 875 biopsy procedures from 786 patients in one institution from January 27th 2012 to March 1st 2017 and recorded complications including pneumothorax with or without chest drainage. Lung function data from 637 patients undergoing 710 of the procedures were available. The association of lung function measures with pneumothorax with or without chest drainage was assessed using multivariable logistic regression analyses. Diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) below 4.70 mmol/min/kPa was associated with increased occurrence of pneumothorax and chest drainage after CT guided lung biopsy. We found no association between FEV1, RV and occurrence of pneumothorax and chest drainage. We found low DLCO to be a risk factor of pneumothorax and chest drainage after CT-guided lung biopsy. This should be taken into account in planning and performing the procedure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pneumothorax is the most common complication of computed tomography-guided coaxial core needle biopsy (CCNB) and may be life-threatening. We aimed to evaluate the risk factors and develop a model for predicting pneumothorax in patients undergoing computed tomography-guided CCNB, and to further determine its clinical utility. METHODS Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify independent risk factors for pneumothorax from 18 variables. A predictive model was established using multivariable logistic regression and presented as a nomogram based on a training cohort of 690 patients who underwent computed tomography-guided CCNB. The model was validated in 253 consecutive patients in the validation cohort and 250 patients in the test cohort. The area under the curve was used to determine the predictive accuracy of the proposed model. RESULTS The risk factors associated with pneumothorax after computed tomography-guided CCNB were sex, patient position, lung field, lesion contact with the pleura, lesion size, distance from the pleura to the lesion, presence of emphysema adjacent to the biopsy tract, and crossing fissures. The predictive model that incorporated these predictors showed good predictive performance in the training cohort [area under the curve, 0.71 (95% confidence interval: 0.67-0.75)], validation cohort [0.71 (0.64-0.78)], and internal test cohort [0.68 (0.60-0.75)]. The nomogram also provided excellent calibration and discrimination, and decision curve analysis (DCA) demonstrated its clinical utility. CONCLUSIONS The predictive model showed good performance for pneumothorax after computed tomography-guided CCNB and may help improve individualized preoperative prediction.

[PMID: 36187941 PMCID: PMC9515654 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.1005241] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2022] [Accepted: 08/29/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective This study aimed to investigate the diagnostic efficacy of computed tomography (CT)-guided transthoracic lung core needle biopsy combined with aspiration biopsy and the clinical value of this combined routine microbial detection. Materials and methods We retrospectively collected the electronic medical records, CT images, pathology, and other data of 1085 patients with sequential core needle biopsy and aspiration biopsy of the same lung lesion under CT guidance in the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from January 2016 to January 2021. GenXpert MTB/RIF detection and BD BACTEC™ Mycobacterium/fungus culture were applied to identifying the microbiological results of these patients. We then compared the positive diagnostic rate, false negative rate, and diagnostic sensitivity rate of three methods including core needle biopsy alone, aspiration biopsy alone, and both core needle biopsy and aspiration biopsy. Results The pathological results of cutting histopathology and aspiration of cell wax were examined for 1085 patients. The diagnostic rates of cutting and aspiration pathology were 90.1% (978/1085) and 86.3% (937/1085), respectively, with no significant difference (P > 0.05). Considering both cutting and aspiration pathologies, the diagnostic rate was significantly improved, up to 98% (1063/1085) (P < 0.001). A total of 803 malignant lesions were finally diagnosed (803/1085, 74.0%). The false negative rate by cutting pathology was 11.8% (95/803), which was significantly lower than that by aspiration biopsy [31.1% (250/803), P < 0.001]. Compared with core needle biopsy alone, the false negative rate of malignant lesions decreased to 5.6% (45/803) (P < 0.05). Next, the aspirates of the malignant lesions highly suspected of corresponding infection were cultured. The results showed that 16 cases (3.1%, 16/511) were infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, Aspergillus niger, and Acinetobacter baumannii, which required clinical treatment. 803 malignant tumors were excluded and 282 cases of benign lesions were diagnosed, including 232 cases of infectious lesions (82.3%, 232/282). The diagnostic rate of Mycobacterium/fungus culture for infectious lesions by aspiration biopsy (47.4%) was significantly higher than that by lung core needle biopsy (22.8%; P < 0.001). The diagnostic rate of aspiration biopsy combined with core needle biopsy was 56% (130/232). The parallel diagnostic rate of aspirated biopsy for GenXpert detection and Mycobacterium/fungal culture combined with core needle biopsy was 64.7% (150/232), which was significantly higher than that of lung core needle biopsy alone (P < 0.001). Finally, pulmonary tuberculosis was diagnosed in 90 cases (38.8%) of infectious lesions. Compared with the sensitivity of core needle biopsy to detect tuberculosis (27.8%, 25/90), the sensitivity of aspirating biopsy for GenXpert detection and Mycobacterium/fungal culture was significantly higher, at 70% (63/90) and 56.7% (51/90), respectively. Although there was no significant difference in the sensitivity of aspirated biopsy for GenXpert and Mycobacterium/fungal culture to detect pulmonary tuberculosis, the sensitivity was significantly increased to 83.3% (P < 0.05) when the two tests were combined. Moreover, when aspirated biopsies were combined with GenXpert detection, Mycobacterium/fungus culture, and core needle biopsy, the sensitivity was as high as 90% (81/90). Conclusion CT-guided lung aspiration biopsy has a significant supplementary effect on core needle biopsies, which is indispensable in clinical application. Additionally, the combination of aspiration biopsy and core needle biopsy can significantly improve the diagnostic rate of benign and malignant lesions. Aspiration biopsy showed that pulmonary malignant lesions are complicated with pulmonary tuberculosis, aspergillus, and other infections. Finally, the diagnostic ability of lung puncture core needle biopsy and aspiration biopsy combined with routine microbial detection under CT positioning in the diagnosis of pulmonary infectious diseases was significantly improved.

Abstract
Background This retrospective study aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of microwave ablation for lung tumors adjacent to the interlobar fissures. Methods From May 2020 to April 2021, 59 patients with 66 lung tumors (mean diameter, 16.9 ± 7.7 mm; range, 6–30 mm) adjacent to the interlobar fissures who underwent microwave ablation at our institution were identified and included in this study. Based on the relationship between the tumor and the interlobar fissure, tumors can be categorized into close to the fissure, causing the fissure, and involving the fissure. The complete ablation rate, local progression‐free survival, complications, and associated factors were analyzed. Results All 66 histologically proven tumors were treated using computed tomography‐guided microwave ablation. The complete ablation rate was 95.5%. Local progression‐free survival at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months were 89.4%, 83.3%, 74.2%, and 63.6%, respectively. The complications included pneumothorax (34.8%), pleural effusion (24.2%), cavity (18.2%), and pulmonary infection (7.6%). There were statistical differences in the incidence of pneumothorax, cavity, and delayed complications between the groups with and without antenna punctures through the fissure. Conclusions Microwave ablation is a safe and effective treatment for lung tumor adjacent to the interlobar fissure. Antenna puncturing though the interlobar fissure may be a potential risk factor for pneumothorax, cavity, and delayed complications.

Diagn Interv Imaging 2022; 103:302-309. [PMID: 35144888 DOI: 10.1016/j.diii.2022.01.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2021] [Revised: 01/18/2022] [Accepted: 01/19/2022] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate retrospectively the safety and diagnostic yield of computed tomography (CT) fluoroscopy-guided biopsy for pulmonary lesions with interlobar fissure contact. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventy-two lesions showing interlobar fissure contact (mean size, 15.2 ± 5.3 [SD] mm [range: 5.3-27.0 mm]; mean length of interlobar fissure contact, 8.9 ± 3.6 [SD] mm [range: 2.6-17.5 mm] in 72 patients (33 men, 39 women; mean age, 69.7 ± 10.3 [SD] years; age range: 37-91 years) were evaluated. Multiple variables were assessed to determine the risk factors for diagnostic failure and pneumothorax. Additionally, these variables were compared between these 72 lesions and randomly selected controls (i.e., non-contact lesions). RESULTS All biopsies were technically successful using the transfissural (n = 14) or conventional routes (the route into the lung lobe with the target) with (n = 35) or without (n = 23) possible risk of needle insertion into the interlobar fissure after penetrating the target lesion. Sixty-eight (94.4%) procedures succeeded diagnostically and four (5.6%) failed. There were 27 grade I pneumothorax (37.5%), one (1.4%) grade II bleeding, and five (6.9%) grade IIIa pneumothorax requiring chest tube placement. Groups with and without pneumothorax did not differ significantly in patient-, lesion-, or procedure-related variables. Diagnostic yields and pneumothorax occurrence showed no significant differences between lesions with interlobar fissure contact and controls. CONCLUSION CT fluoroscopy-guided biopsy of pulmonary lesions with interlobar fissure contact is a safe procedure with a high diagnostic yield. Furthermore, because of potential complications, the transfissural route should be used only when a safer route is not possible.

The role of clinical characteristics and pulmonary function testing in predicting risk of pneumothorax by CT-guided percutaneous core needle biopsy of the lung. BMC Pulm Med 2021; 21:257. [PMID: 34362335 PMCID: PMC8344205 DOI: 10.1186/s12890-021-01625-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2021] [Accepted: 08/03/2021] [Indexed: 01/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND We aim to analyze the risk factors for pneumothorax associated with computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous core needle biopsy (PCNB) of the lung. Whether the lung function characteristics are related to pneumothorax is unclear. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated 343 patients who received CT-guided pulmonary PCNBs and underwent preoperative pulmonary function testing. Demographical, lesion-related, procedure-related features and histopathological diagnosis, as well as results of pulmonary function test were analyzed as risk factors of pneumothorax RESULTS: Variables associated with higher rate of pneumothorax were location of lesion, presence of emphysema, and dwell time. The proportion of middle lobe, lingular, or lower lobe lesions in pneumothorax group (30/50, 60.0%) is higher than non-pneumothorax group (113/293, 38.6%). The incidence of emphysema in pneumothorax group was significantly higher than that in non-pneumothorax group (34.0% vs. 7.5%). Obstructive pulmonary function abnormalities, not restrictive, mixed ventilation function abnormalities and small airway dysfunction, correlated with pneumothorax. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed lower location of lesion sampled and presence of emphysema were independent predictors of pneumothorax. Although dwell time, FEV1/FVC ratio, FEF50%, FEF75% and FEF25-75% were significantly correlated with pneumothorax on univariate analysis, these were not confirmed to be independent predictors. CONCLUSIONS Patients with obstructive pulmonary dysfunction have a higher risk of pneumothorax. Presence of emphysema was the most important predictor of pneumothorax, followed by location of lesion.
