CT-guided core needle biopsy of focal pulmonary lesions with coexisting interstitial lung abnormalities: a case-control study
Question Whether CT-guided CNB of focal pulmonary lesions with coexisting ILAs is as safe and accurate as in those without ILAs. Findings CNB in patients with ILAs showed similar safety and diagnostic performance to controls; however, complications were more frequent when ILAs were traversed or multiple pleural passes were performed. Clinical relevance CNB is a safe and effective diagnostic tool in patients with ILAs. Avoiding ILA traversal and multiple pleural passes may help minimize the risk of complications.
