OBJECTIVES: To analyze computed tomography (CT) characteristics predictive for diagnostic accuracy and pneumothorax in CT fluoroscopy-guided transthoracic biopsy (CTF-TTB) of lung lesions using non-coaxial biopsy needle technique.
METHODS: Retrospectively 274 lung lesion biopsies with confirmed histology were included in our study. CTF-TTB was done using an 18-gauge non-coaxial cutting needle. Diagnostic accuracy rates were calculated per lesion size and CT and procedural characteristics were evaluated for their predictive value regarding diagnostic accuracy and development of pneumothorax (maximal nodule diameter, distance to pleura, location per lung segment, nodule composition, benign versus malignant histology, and number of specimens).
RESULTS: Overall diagnostic accuracy of CTF-TTB was high (93%). Diagnostic accuracy for lesions ≤10 mm was 81%. Maximal nodule diameter was the only predictive CT characteristic for diagnostic success (p = 0.03). Pneumothorax occurred in 27%. Distance of lesion to pleura was the only risk factor for pneumothorax (p < 0.00001). Pneumothorax rates were significantly lower in subpleural lesions (14%) compared to those located 1-10 mm (47%), 10-20 mm (33%), and >20 mm from pleura (29%).
CONCLUSIONS: High diagnostic accuracy rates were achieved with CTF-TTB using non-coaxial biopsy technique, even for lesions ≤10 mm. Pneumothorax rates were comparable with other studies. Lesion size was the only predictive CT characteristic for diagnostic accuracy. Distance to pleura was the only risk factor for pneumothorax.
