Next, on to tell you about. Because the risk of lung cancer needle biopsy is higher than that of bronchoscopy, and a small amount of bleeding is a complication of lung cancer needle biopsy, it is difficult to avoid, so it is not the first choice for inspection.

Patients with peripheral pulmonary disease without cytological or histological diagnosis, and it is difficult to diagnose. 4.

Pulmonary hypertension, severe emphysema, pulmonary arteriovenous fistula, superior vena cava syndrome, and lung cancer patients with bleeding tendency are regarded as contraindications for needle biopsy.
