Abstract:
Objective To study clinical application of Bard automated disposable instrument for percutaneous transtheracic biopsy guided by CT in diagnosis of pulmonary lesions. Methods Percutaneons transthoracic biopsy was performed with CT-guided Bard automated disposable instrument for 95 patients with pulmonary lesions but without established diagnosis by clinical and imaging procedures in order to obtain pathological diagnosis. Results Tissue specimens were obtained from all the 95 patients by Bard automated disposable instrument for percutaneous transthoracis biopsy, with a hundred percent of success. After the procedure, 68 of 95 were pathologically diagnosed as lung cancer (including adenocarcinoma in 44,squamous carcinoma in 19, alveolar cell carcinoma in three and small cell carcinoma in two), 10 as chronic inflammatory lesions, eight as tuberculosis, two as inflammatory pseudotumor, one as metastatic cancer, two as fungal infection, and four without an established diagnosis, with an overall diagnosis rate of 95.8%.Pneumothorax occurred in eight and mild haemoptysis in six of 95 patients, respectively, by the procedure.Conclusion Percutaneons transthoracic biopsy with Bard automated disposable instrument is an effective diagnostic procedure for patients with pulmonary lesions but their diagnoses were not established by routine examinations.
