Imaging of Post Transthoracic Needle Biopsy Complications

Abstract: When faced with characterization of a suspicious lung lesion, transthoracic needle biopsy (TTNB) is the standard technique used to retrieve a pathological specimen. Usual complications reported for this intervention are pneumothorax, hemorrhage, air embolism, and tumor seeding. This pictorial essay illustrates imaging of these complications.

“…These methods do have certain drawbacks, though. First of all, these are intrusive tests that have a risk of several complications, including bleeding, air embolism, and pneumothorax ( 7 ). In a population-level retrospective study, the percentage of patients who developed comorbidities within 3 days after transthoracic needle biopsy (TTNB) reached 25.8%, with the top three being pneumothorax at 23.3%, hemorrhage, and air embolism ( 8 ).…”

“…Ki-67 detection relies on pathological examination. Needle biopsy is a common method to obtain pathological tissue, but it is an invasive examination and has certain disadvantages, such as poor patient compliance, possible surgical risks, and needle tract transfer (9,10). With the formation of a multidisciplinary and multimethod comprehensive treatment model for liver cancer, a noninvasive preoperative method to predict Ki-67 status is significant in the treatment and prognostic management of patients.…”

“…However, this method has some limitations. First, histological examination is an invasive procedure that may cause serious complications such as pneumothorax ( 8 ), hemorrhage ( 9 ), and air embolism ( 10 ). Second, needle biopsy increases the risk of TB dissemination ( 11 ).…”
