Complications in Diagnostic Percutaneous Lung Biopsy Procedures
Conditions
Keywords
Lung Biopsy, pneumothorax, interventional radiology
Brief summary
The study will assess the safety and feasibility of a new medical device, MIPP-Kit, for the prevention of complications during diagnostic, CT guided ,percutaneous lung needle biopsy.
Interventions
Patients will undergo the usual biopsy procedure with a fine needle inserted through a larger guide needle, under CT guidance; at the end of the biopsy, the MIPP-Kit will be introduced through the same guide needle. The guide needle and the MIPP Kit will be retracted together slowly, whilst injecting BioGlue in appropriate amounts along the whole track, from the lesion to the skin.
