Aspiration biopsy of discrete pulmonary lesions using a new thin needle. Results in the first 100 cases
Abstract
The authors describe their initial experience with a new thin spinal-type needle for aspiration biopsy of the lung. One hundred patients with discrete pulmonary lesions were studied. Diagnosis was possible in 87% of cases, and no significant complications were encountered.
