Abstract

A specially designed 3-pronged aspiration needle is described. It was used in 166 percutaneous lung biopsies in 151 patients. A correct diagnosis was obtained in 141 patients (93.3%). Only minor complications were seen, including pneumothorax (7.8%) and pulmonary hemorrhage with hemoptysis (2.4%).
