CT-guided Lung Biopsy Risk Optimization Method
Sponsor: Insel Gruppe AG, University Hospital Bern
Summary
The purpose of this randomized controlled study is to evaluate the extent to which injection of a small amount of fluid in the pleural cavity at the biopsy site may reduce the risk of pneumothoraces, in addition to patient positioning to allow biopsy in gravity-dependent areas of the lung.
