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.
Keywords: Air embolism; Hemorrhage; Infectious seeding; Pneumothorax; Transthoracic needle biopsy complicatons; Tumor seeding.
