Complications of synchronous microwave ablation and biopsy versus microwave ablation alone for pulmonary sub-solid nodules: a retrospective, large sample, case-control study
Compared with MWA alone, synchronous MWA and biopsy did not increase the risk of major complications. Although some minor complications developed, synchronous MWA and biopsy is safe for treating pulmonary GGNs.
