Time-dependent analysis of incidence, risk factors and clinical significance of pneumothorax after percutaneous lung biopsy

European Radiology Oct 06, 2017

Lim WH, et al. - In this study, researchers assess the time-dependent incidence, risk factors and clinical significance of percutaneous lung biopsy (PLB)-related pneumothorax.

Emphysema and older age were associated with drainage catheter insertion and prolonged catheter placement, respectively.
