Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo investigate the occurrence of complications in US-guided percutaneous biopsy using core (>19G) gauge cutting needle.
METHODSA retrospective analysis of 5366 US-guided thick needle biopsies was conducted to analyze the incidence of complications after biopsy at different positions.
RESULTSThe total incidence of complications was 1.08%, including most frequent hemorrhage, pneumothorax, hemotysis and infection.
CONCLUSIONUltrasound-guided automatic biopsy is easy to operate and safe, and strict execution of the procedures can lower the incidence of the complications.
