A retrospective analysis of the risk factors associated with systemic air embolism following percutaneous lung biopsy

In the present study, the risk factors for systemic air embolism as a complication of percutaneous CT-guided lung biopsy were explored. Data from 2,026 percutaneous CT-guided lung biopsy procedures were retrospectively analyzed. All cases were divided into a concurrent air embolism group and a contr...

Description
Summary:In the present study, the risk factors for systemic air embolism as a complication of percutaneous CT-guided lung biopsy were explored. Data from 2,026 percutaneous CT-guided lung biopsy procedures were retrospectively analyzed. All cases were divided into a concurrent air embolism group and a control group, depending on whether air embolism occurred during the puncture process. A systemic air embolism was confirmed when CT values
