NCT07528170
At St. Olavs Hospital, a prospective collection of data on complications related to CT-guided lung biopsies has been conducted over several years as part of quality control study. The primary aim of this quality control study is to map complications in all patients who have undergone percutaneous CT-guided lung biopsy at St. Olavs Hospital from May 2012 to December 2023.
NCT07300072
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the pneumothorax risk associated with the Pleural-Depth-Trimmed Hookwire (PDTH) technique in patients undergoing Preoperative CT-Guided Lung Nodule Localization (POCTGL). The main question it aims to answer is: Does the specialized PDTH technique increase the risk of iatrogenic pneumothorax compared to dye-only localization in a setting utilizing advanced puncture guidance?. Participants were a retrospective cohort of patients who underwent POCTGL procedures between 2015 and 2022, and their procedural data and post-procedural complications were analyzed.
NCT05259293
The number of lung biopsies has increased steadily in recent years. Pneumothorax is the most common complication of a lung biopsy and can occur during the procedure, immediately after the procedure or within a few hours (delayed pneumothorax). The incidence of pneumothorax in the literature is very different from one study to another: it has been reported to be from 9 to 54% in patients undergoing percutaneous transthoracic needle biopsy. This difference of incidence could be explained by the absence of consensus for the definition of an iatrogenic pneumothorax. The characteristics of pneumothorax and the management of patients with iatrogenic pneumothorax will be evaluated in different centres in a retrospective manner. This study will contribute to refining the criteria for defining pneumothorax occurring during lung biopsy and will provide a better understanding of the condition and its management.
