Abstract

Percutaneous computerized tomography-guided lung biopsy is a valuable tool in the evaluation of pulmonary lesions because it is minimally invasive and has a high degree of accuracy. However, this procedure is not without its risks, the most common of which is pneumothorax. This article includes an overview of preprocedure planning, contraindications, patient preparation, informed consent, patient positioning, sedation, breathing instructions, recovery after procedure, potential complication, and recovery at home.
