Brief Summary

Transthoracic lung biopsy (TLB) provides a histological diagnosis of nodule or lung mass. Pneumothorax is the main complication of TLB with an average of 20%. Many risk factors, whether clinical, computed tomography or related to TLB, are described in the literature. The British Thoracic Society recommends monitoring for 2 hours after the procedure with a possible discharge if the chest X-ray is normal. There is no French or European recommendation for monitoring the occurrence of pneumothorax after TLB. In the university center of Besançon, France, a minimum supervision of 4 hours is recommended and approximately one in two patients is hospitalized until the following day to reach this minimum time of 4 hours. The objective of the SPOT study is to perform a predictive score of pneumothorax from a retrospective cohort of patients for whom a transthoracic lung biopsy was performed and to validate this score on a prospective cohort. The expected goal is to select patients who can benefit from outpatient care by shortening the post-procedure surveillance period and to monitor more long-term only high-risk patients.

See eligibilty criteria

You may qualify if:

  • Patients having needle lung biopsy CT-guided for diagnostic purposes.

You may not qualify if:

  • Nodule or mass in contact with the pleura for which the aerated pulmonary parenchyma is not crossed by the puncture needle.
  • Several pulmonary sites biopsied.
  • Existence of a pneumothorax before procedure
  • Per-procedural appearance of alveolar or interstitial pneumonitis at the level of the biopsy area.
  • Cavitary aspect of nodule or mass
  • Absence of chest X-ray control
  • Poorness quality of chest X-ray control
