CT-guided percutaneous biopsy of thoracic and lumbar spine: A new coaxial technique.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Herein we describe the technique of CT-guided lumbar or thoracic bone biopsy performed with a larger bore needle and coaxial system. The use of the external sheath cannula as a coaxial system led to an accurate diagnosis in all 19 patients who underwent the procedure. Bleeding at the biopsy site occurred in two patients and was controlled by insertion of Gelfoam. No other complications were encountered. We suggest that our procedure is more effective, reliable, safe, and rapid than the traditional technique.

Biopsy of vertebral and paravertebral structures with a new coaxial needle system.
The merits of computed tomography (CT) guided percutaneous needle biopsy of lesions throughout the body have been well documented in the recent literature (1-4). Radiologists have employed this technique for sampling lesions involving the vertebral body and adjacent softtissues (5-7). This report describes a coaxial needle system (CoANS) which has several advantages over the tandem needle techn...

Background Though some vertebral lesions have typical imaging findings, histological/ microbiological evidence are required for definitive diagnosis and management, specially for tumor and infective lesions so that wrong diagnosis and wrong treatment can be avoided. Conventionally, open biopsy methods are used. With availability of CT scan, MRI, percutaneous transpedicular vertebral biopsy has ...
متن کاملPercutaneous biopsy of the thoracic and lumbar spine: transpedicular approach under fluoroscopic guidance.
Eighteen patients with vertebral lesions located in the thoracic or lumbar spine underwent percutaneous biopsy performed via a transpedicular approach under fluoroscopic guidance. This technique led to an accurate diagnosis in 16 cases (89%). No complications were encountered. For percutaneous lumbar and thoracic vertebral biopsy, the transpedicular approach is a safe and accurate alternative t...
متن کاملCoaxial technique-promoted diagnostic accuracy of CT-guided percutaneous cutting needle biopsy for small and deep lung lesions
Coaxial technique is extensively applied to facilitate percutaneous lung lesion biopsy. However, the impact of coaxial technique on diagnostic accuracy remains undecided. We reviewed 485 patients who underwent percutaneous CT-guided needle biopsies of lung lesions in our hospital. All of these biopsies were performed using either a cutting needle alone (n = 268) or a cutting needle combined wit...

The authors report the results of a prospective study about CT-guided percutaneous transpedicular vertebral biopsy in 23 patients, 11 male and 12 female, with a mean age of 45 years (range, 17-90 years). Eleven biopsies were performed at a thoracic level, 12 at a lumbar or sacral (one) level. A diagnosis was obtained in 21 out of 23 patients (91.3%); in the remaining two cases an open biopsy wa...
