Abstract
Patients [1223] underwent aspiration biopsy with a diagnostic yield 86.4%; 24.2% of the patients had a small pneumothorax, but only 4.4% required treatment; 1 patient developed a moderate hemothorax. The method, problems and complications including morbidity and mortality are discussed. The relative success of aspiration biopsy with different lesions of the lung and mediastinum is identified.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
