| Popis: | BACKGROUND: Although transthoracic needle biopsy (TTNB) is an effective method for diagnosis of lung tumors, it has some complications. It is crucial to know the frequency and severity of the complications of TTNB and its risk factors in order to avoid them. OBJECTIVES: Evaluate the complications and risk factors of computed tomography guided core needle lung biopsies (CT-CNLB). DESIGN: Prospective evaluation of complications. SETTING: Single center in Turkey. PATIENTS AND METHODS: For CT-CNLBs performed between October 2017 and March 2018, the complications of biopsies were noted and classified as major and minor based on guidelines of the Society of Interventional Radiology. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The complications and risk factors for complications were evaluated. SAMPLE SIZE: 123 adult patients. RESULTS: The most common complications were pulmonary hemorrhage (30.9%) and pneumothorax (22%). Increased overall pulmonary hemorrhage was observed with underlying emphysema (P=.022), non-peripheral location of the lesion (P |
