What Are The Limitations And Risks Of A Lung Biopsy Needle?

Pulmonary interstitial fibrosis

Most patients are complicated with different degrees of dyspnea and cardiovascular disease at the time of visit. Lung biopsy, as an invasive examination, may induce further aggravation of the disease. Lung biopsy also has certain risks, such as postoperative intrathoracic hemorrhage, intrathoracic infection, air embolism and other serious complications. Although the probability of these complications is not very high, once they occur, it may increase the difficulty of the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis.
