Percutaneous visceral pleural biopsy with fenestrated cup biopsy forceps.
نویسندگان
چکیده
When there is an exudative pleural effusion often both the parietal and the visceral pleura are affected, but the usual practice is to perform a percutaneous parietal pleural biopsy alone for diagnosis. Percutaneous visceral pleural biopsy was carried out in 20 patients with exudative pleural effusions with fenestrated cup biopsy forceps. In all 20 biopsies pleural tissue was obtained and it was diagnostic in 19 cases. The procedure is painless and appears safe.

THE DIAGNOSTIC YIELD OF TRANSBRONCHIAL LUNG BIOPSY IN DIFFUSE INFILTRATIVE PULMONARY DISEASES BY PLAIN CUP FORCEPS. A STUDY OF 54 CASES IN IRAN
The technique of transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) has expanded the diagnostic yield of bronchoscopy . In this article we are presenting 54 patients with diffuse pulmonary parenchymal involvement who underwent this procedure during six years between June 1980 and December 1989. The diagnostic yield of this technique in diffuse pulmonary parenchymal disease is great and was 66 percent exclu...

At present there is no satisfactory technique for repeated lung biopsy in recipients of heart-lung transplants. A new technique for lung biopsy, which might be adopted for this purpose, has been developed. A Teflon sheath is inserted through the jugular vein into the pulmonary artery with the aid of a balloon catheter. A flexible biopsy forceps is then introduced through the sheath into the pul...
متن کاملApproach to undiagnosed exudative pleural effusion: the diagnostic yield of blind pleural biopsy
Background: Blind percutaneous pleural biopsy has traditionally been performed to investigate the etiology of exudative pleural effusion in which the initial thoracocentesis has been non- diagnostic. In view of the increasing use of image-guided and thoracoscopic pleural biopsies, this study examined the role of blind Abrams pleural biopsy in the investigation of the exudative pleural effusion ...
متن کاملComparison of forceps used for transbronchial lung biopsy. Bigger may not be better.
Transbronchial lung biopsy is a useful procedure to obtain an alveolar specimen in the evaluation of diffuse lung infiltrates. Large forceps (cup and alligator) are expected to result in larger specimens and improve diagnostic yield. We performed transbronchial lung biopsy in 20 patients using two different sized forceps in each patient. We compared the histology and histopathologic diagnoses o...
متن کاملDiagnostic flexible fiberoptic pleuroscopy in suspected malignant pleural effusions.
Up to 25% of malignant pleural effusions can remain undiagnosed following history, physical examination, thoracentesis, and percutaneous closed pleural biopsy. The next diagnostic procedure is often rigid thoracoscopy, an invasive procedure requiring an operating suite and usually a postprocedure chest tube. We performed flexible fiberoptic pleuroscopy using a fiberoptic bronchoscope in conjunc...
