The nodule-pleura relationship affects pneumothorax in CT-guided percutaneous transthoracic needle biopsy: avoiding to cross pleural tail sign may reduce the incidence of pneumothorax.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To explore the role of nodule-pleural relationship, including nodule with pleural tail sign (PTS), nodule with pleural contact and nodule with pleural unrelated in CT-guided percutaneous transthoracic needle biopsy (PTNB)-induced pneumothorax, and whether employing different puncture routes has an impact on the incidence of pneumothorax in PTNB of nodules with PTS.

Methods

Between April 1, 2019, to June 30, 2021, 775 consecutive PTNB procedures of pulmonary nodules in the Peking University Cancer Hospital were retrospectively reviewed. The univariate and multivariate regression analysis were used to identify the risk factors for pneumothorax in PTNB.

Results

The nodule with pleural contact group has a lower incidence of pneumothorax than the nodule with PTS
