- Abstract
Objective: To examine the characteristics of interventional procedures performed under the guidance of thoracic ultrasonography (USG). Material and Methods: The files of the cases who underwent procedures under thoracic USG guidance between January 2021 and December 2022 were examined retrospectively. Clinical-demographic and radiological findings of the cases were recorded. All diagnostic procedures performed under the guidance of thoracic USG and post-procedural complications, if any, were recorded. Results: A total of 124 cases, 45 (36.3%) women and 79 (63.7%) men, with a mean age of 69.3±12.1 years, were included in the study. Thoracic USG was performed for thoracentesis in 81 (65.3%) cases, for biopsy in 33 (26.6%) cases, and for pleural catheter insertion in 10 (8.1%) cases. When thoracentesis procedures were examined, it was seen that diagnostic thoracentesis was performed in 61 (49.1%) cases and therapeutic thoracentesis was performed in 20 (16.1%) cases. When the biopsy procedures were examined, USG-guided transthoracic fine needle aspiration biopsy (TTNAB) was performed in 20 (16.1%) cases with a primary mass lesion in the lung, and TTNAB was performed on the chest wall lesion in 5 (4%) cases with a primary mass lesion in the lung and chest wall metastasis. Again, NAB was performed on supraclavicular LAP in 3 (2.4%) cases with supraclavicular lymphadenopathy (LAP) and suspicion of primary lung malignancy. In addition, pleural tru-cut biopsy was performed under USG guidance in 5 (4%) cases who were examined for pleural fluid and indicated for pleural biopsy. Conclusion: The diagnostic success rate of thoracic USG is high in selected cases and interventional procedures, and the complication rate is low in USG-guided interventional procedures.
