Ultrasound-Guided Needle Biopsy as an Alternative to Chamberlain's Mediastinotomy and Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) in the Diagnosis of Anterior Mediastinal Neoformations: A Retrospective Analysis. J Clin Med 2023; 12:5070. [PMID: 37568472 PMCID: PMC10419525 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12155070] [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: 06/26/2023] [Revised: 07/31/2023] [Accepted: 07/31/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2023] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: The prompt diagnosis of anterior mediastinal lesions is a challenge due to their often being categorized as malignant tumours. Ultrasound-guided Transthoracic Core Needle Biopsy (US-TCNB) is an innovative technique that is arousing increasing interest in clinical practice. However, studies in this area are still scarce. This study aims to compare the diagnostic accuracy and complication rate of US-TCNB with those of traditional surgical methods-Anterior Mediastinotomy and Video Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS)-in patients with anterior mediastinal lesions. (2) Methods: This retrospective study involved patients evaluated between January 2011 and December 2021 who had undergone US-TCNB at the Interdepartmental Unit of Internal and Interventional Ultrasound, Molinette Hospital, Città della Salute e della Scienza, Turin, Italy. Personal data, diagnostic questions, and technical information concerning the bioptic procedure, periprocedural complications and histological reports were collected. (3) Results: Eighty-three patients were included in the analysis. Histological examination was performed in 78 cases, with an overall diagnostic accuracy of 94.0% (sensitivity 94%; specificity 100%). Only in 5 patients was a diagnosis not achieved. Complications occurred in 2 patients who were quickly identified and properly treated without need of hospitalization. The accuracy of US-TCNB was comparable to the performance of the main traditional diagnostic alternatives (95.3% for anterior mediastinotomy, and 98.4% for VATS), with a much lower complication rate (2.4% vs. 3-16%). The outpatient setting offered the additional advantage of saving resources. (4) Conclusions: a US-guided needle biopsy can be considered effective and safe, and in the near future it may become the procedure of choice for diagnosing anterior mediastinal lesions in selected patients.

Abstract
To quantitatively analyze the risk factors for air embolism following computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous transthoracic needle biopsy (PTNB) and qualitatively review their characteristics. The databases of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Wanfang Data, VIP information, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure were searched on January 4, 2021, for studies reporting the occurrence of air embolisms following CT-guided PTNB. After study selection, data extraction, and quality assessment, the characteristics of the included cases were qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed. A total of 154 cases of air embolism following CT-guided PTNB were reported. The reported incidence was 0.06% to 4.80%, and 35 (22.73%) patients were asymptomatic. An unconscious or unresponsive state was the most common symptom (29.87%). Air was most commonly found in the left ventricle (44.81%), and 104 (67.53%) patients recovered without sequelae. Air location (P < 0.001), emphysema (P = 0.061), and cough (P = 0.076) were associated with clinical symptoms. Air location (P = 0.015) and symptoms (P < 0.001) were significantly associated with prognosis. Lesion location [odds ratio (OR): 1.85, P = 0.017], lesion subtype (OR: 3.78, P = 0.01), pneumothorax (OR: 2.16, P = 0.003), hemorrhage (OR: 3.20, P < 0.001), and lesions located above the left atrium (OR: 4.35, P = 0.042) were significant risk factors for air embolism. Based on the current evidence, a subsolid lesion, being located in the lower lobe, the presence of pneumothorax or hemorrhage, and lesions located above the left atrium were significant risk factors for air embolism.

Ultrasound-guided percutaneous biopsy of peripheral pulmonary lesions with 16-G core needles: study of factors that influence sample adequacy and safety. Clin Radiol 2023; 78:24-32. [PMID: 36116968 DOI: 10.1016/j.crad.2022.08.130] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2021] [Revised: 08/04/2022] [Accepted: 08/13/2022] [Indexed: 01/07/2023]
Abstract
AIM To explore the factors that influence sample adequacy and safety of ultrasound (US)-guided biopsy for peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs) with 16-G needles. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 263 patients (150 men, 113 women; mean age, 60.7 ± 13 years) who received US-guided biopsy for PPLs with 16-G needles from July 2017 to March 2021 were included. Variables including patient demographics, lesion location, lesion size, proportion of lesion necrosis, presence of emphysema, presence of bullae around lesion, patient position, and number of needle passes were recorded. Univariate analysis and multivariable logistic regression analysis were performed to explore the factors that influence sample adequacy and safety. RESULTS Biopsy specimens were adequate for diagnosis in 242/263 (92%) cases. Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed lesion size was significantly associated with sample adequacy (p=0.005, odds ratio [OR] = 1.039). The incidence of overall complication rate was 10.6% (28/263), including pneumothorax and haemorrhage, which occurred in 2.7% (7/263) and 9.9% (26/263) of patients, respectively. Patient position (lateral versus supine) was associated with overall complication rates (p=0.029, OR=3.407) and haemorrhage (p=0.013, OR=4.870). The presence of bullae around the lesion (p=0.026, OR=73.128) was an independent factor associated with pneumothorax. CONCLUSION US-guided percutaneous biopsy for PPLs with 16-G needles is effective and safe. Sample adequacy is significantly affected by lesion size. Patient lateral position is a risk factor for overall complication and haemorrhage. The presence of bullae around the lesion is a predictor of pneumothorax.

[PMID: 35672758 PMCID: PMC9175504 DOI: 10.1186/s12890-022-02009-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2022] [Accepted: 05/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Iatrogenic pneumothorax is common after thoracic procedures. For patients with pneumothorax larger than 15%, simple aspiration is suggested. Although vacuum bottle plus non-tunneled catheter drainage has been performed in many institutions, its safety and efficacy remain to be assessed. Methods Through this prospective cohort study (NCT03724721), we evaluated the safety and efficacy of vacuum bottle plus non-tunneled catheter drainage. Patients older than 20 years old who developed post-procedural pneumothorax were enrolled. A non-tunneled catheter was placed at the intersection of the midclavicular line and the second intercostal space. A 3-way stopcock, a drainage set, and a digital pressure gauge were connected. The stopcock was manipulated to connect the pleural space to the pressure gauge for measurement of end-expiration intrapleural pressure or to the vacuum bottle for air drainage. The rate of successful drainage, the end-expiration intrapleural pressure before, during, and after the procedure and the duration of hospitalization were recorded. Results From August 2018 to February 2020, 21 patients underwent vacuum bottle plus catheter drainage (intervention group) and 31 patients received conservative treatment (control group). The end-expiration intrapleural pressure of all patients remained less than − 20 cmH2O during drainage. No procedure related complication was observed. Large pneumothorax (≥ 15%) was associated with higher risk of persistent air leak (Odds ratio 12, 95% CI 1.2–569.7). Vacuum bottle assisted air drainage yielded shorter event-free duration than that of conservative treatment (2 days vs 5 days [interquartile range 1–4 days vs 3–7 days], p < .05). Vacuum bottle assisted air drainage also help identifying patients with persistent pneumothorax and necessitate the subsequent management. The event-free duration of persistent air leak in the intervention group was also comparable with that of conservative treatment (5 days vs 5 days [interquartile range 5–8 days vs 3–7 days], p = .45). Conclusions Vacuum bottle plus catheter drainage of iatrogenic pneumothorax is a safe and efficient procedure. It may be considered as an alternative management of stable post-procedural pneumothorax with size larger than 15%. Trial registration The study protocol was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of National Taiwan University Hospital (No. 201805105DINA) on 6th August, 2018. The first participant was enrolled on 23rd August, 2018 after Research Ethics Committee approval.

Abstract
Ultrasonography is a very good tool for guiding different interventional procedures in the chest. It is the ideal technique for managing conditions involving the pleural space, and it makes it possible to carry out procedures such as thoracocentesis, biopsies, or drainage. In the lungs, only lesions in contact with the costal pleura are accessible to ultrasound-guided interventions. In this type of lung lesions, ultrasound is as effective as computed tomography to guide interventional procedures, but the rate of complications and time required for the intervention are lower for ultrasound-guided procedures.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in determining the viable target area in patients with subpleural pulmonary lesions before ultrasound-guided transthoracic core biopsy. In this retrospective study, we analyzed 92 patients with subpleural pulmonary lesions (63 males and 29 females; mean age: 65.17 ± 11.72 y). All patients underwent B-mode ultrasound, color Doppler and CEUS. Color Doppler was performed to identify the major vessels. The time to enhancement of the contrast agents, homogeneity of enhancement and the presence of areas without enhancement were recorded after administration of the contrast agents. The viable target areas were defined as regions showing enhancement relative to those without enhancement and regions showing delayed enhancement in reference to peripheral lung tissues showing early enhancement. Afterward, real-time ultrasound-guided transthoracic core needle (18 gauge) biopsies were performed and the complication rate, success rate and diagnostic accuracy were calculated. With CEUS, the needle pathways of these lesions were readjusted the biopsy strategy in 40/92 patients (43.5%). It was determined that the satisfactory rate of the subsequent biopsy specimen was 100%. The histologic diagnostic accuracy of the biopsy was 97.83%. No serious complications occurred during the biopsy. In conclusion, the application of CEUS before biopsy was able to depict the viable target areas of the lesion to readjust the biopsy routes. With the help of CEUS, ultrasound-guided core biopsy could obtain adequate samples, improve the diagnostic accuracy and reduce the complication rates of biopsies.

Propensity-score-matching analysis to compare efficacy and safety between 16-gauge and 18-gauge needle in ultrasound-guided biopsy for peripheral pulmonary lesions. BMC Cancer 2021; 21:390. [PMID: 33836683 PMCID: PMC8034192 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-021-08126-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2020] [Accepted: 03/25/2021] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Definitive diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs) depends on the histological analysis of the pleural biopsy sample. Ultrasound (US)-guided sampling is now standard practice in the clinical setting. However, determining a suitable needle size and sampling times to improve the efficacy and safety of the biopsy remains challenging. Here, we compared the efficacy between 16- and 18-gauge core biopsy needles in US-guided percutaneous transthoracic biopsy for PPLs on histological diagnosis and procedure-related complications. Materials and methods In total, 1169 patients (767 men, 402 women; mean age, 59.4 ± 13.2 years) who received biopsy for PPLs between September 2011 and February 2019 were included. The propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was performed to adjust the baseline differences, and the rate of successful specimen assessment and complications were compared between the 16-gauge (249 patients) and 18-gauge (920 patients) groups. The number of pleural surfaces crossed (NOPSC) was defined as the number of times the visceral pleural surface was transgressed. Stratified analysis was performed based on NOPSC. Results The overall success rate was 92.0% (1076/1169). The overall complication rate was 9.6%, including pneumothorax, hemorrhage, and vasovagal reaction, which occurred in 2.5% (29/1169), 6.6% (77/1169), and 0.5% (6/1169) of the patients, respectively. When NOPSC was 1 or > 2, the success and complication rates in the 16-gauge group were comparable to those of the 18-gauge group (all P > 0.05). When the NOPSC was 2, the success rate in the 16-gauge group was significantly higher than that in the 18-gauge group (P = 0.017), whereas the complication rate was comparable (P > 0.05). Conclusion Higher success rate could be achieved using a 16-gauge than an 18-gauge core biopsy needle in the US-guided percutaneous transthoracic biopsy for PPLs when the NOPSC was 2. We recommend using 16-gauge needles with 2 times of needle passes in biopsy for PPLs in clinical practice.
