Low diffusion capacity of the lung predicts pneumothorax and chest drainage after CT-guided lung biopsy

Abstract Objectives Complications after CT-guided lung biopsy is a burden both for the individual patient and for the overall healthcare. Pneumothorax is the most common complication. This study determined the association between lung function tests and pneumothorax and chest drainage following CT-g...
