Methods： The intact data of 78 elder patients underwent percutaneous pulmonary biopsy with a spring-core biopsy needle under CTS guidance were analyzed. The diagnosis of all the cases was confirmed by pathology and follow-up. Results： Ninety-five lung biopsies were performed in 78 cases and satisfactory tissue specimens obtained in all cases, the success rate was 100%. The diagnosis for malignant tumors and benign lesions was 72 and 6, respectively. The overall accuracy rate was 100%. Pneumothorax was noted in 5 cases （6.4%） and hemoptysis seen in 10 patients （12.8%）. Conclusion： CTS-guided percutaneous transthoracic biopsy with a spring-core biopsy needle are accurate, safe and quick for pulmonary lesions in elder patients.展开更多
