Lung Lesions Biopsy in Children by Computed Tomography (CT) Fluoroscopy Guided Versus Conventional CT Scan Guided
Abstract Background Computed tomography (CT)-guided biopsy of the lung is a well-established method of diagnosis. The aim of this study was to determine the success rate of fluoroscopic CT (FCT) and conventional CT (CCT) in needle navigation biopsies from the lung lesions. Materials and Methods A total of 78 patients were prospectively enrolled to receive CT-guided biopsy with (group I, n=2...
متن کاملCoronary and cerebral air embolism: a rare complication of computed tomography-guided transthoracic lung biopsy
A 71-year-old man with a history of excessive smoking was evaluated for an abnormal chest X-ray. He had no angina and no risk factors for coronary artery disease. Considering a high probability of lung cancer in this patient, computed tomography-guided transthoracic lung biopsy was performed by an experienced radiologist. A co-axial 18-gauge needle system was used to enter the lung and two core...

terval and tend to convert it into an RP interval. Antegrade block (depression of the impulse conduction to the ventricle) will prolong PR interval and tend to convert an RP into a PR interval. They reported one case with antegrade block, the PR interval measuring 0.18 sec. Vakil3 reported two cases of atrioventricular nodal rhythm with antegrade block. One of them, an elderly, hypertensive pat...
متن کاملPercutaneous computed tomography-guided oesophageal needle biopsy.
Sir, Biopsies of suspicious lesions in the oesophagus can be readily performed via a flexible endoscope in most settings. However, structuring lesions may require a rigid endoscope under general anaesthesia or a percutaneous approach to successfully biopsy. The percutaneous approach however, is rarely used with upper gastrointestinal tract lesions. We describe the fine needle aspiration (FNA) o...
