    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonary Medicine
    • Interventional Pulmonology
    • Diagnostic Procedures

    Background:

    • Percutaneous lung biopsy is crucial for diagnosing pulmonary diseases.
    • Traditional methods like Vim-Silverman have limitations in tissue yield and quality.
    • The Steel trephine apparatus offers a potential improvement in tissue acquisition.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Steel trephine for percutaneous lung biopsy.
    • To compare the tissue yield and specimen quality with the Vim-Silverman technique.
    • To assess the diagnostic accuracy and complication rates of the Steel trephine lung biopsy.

    Main Methods:

    • Forty-five percutaneous trephine lung biopsies were performed using the Steel apparatus on 38 patients.

  • Tissue acquisition success rate was recorded.
  • Histological and culture diagnoses were obtained.
  • Complications such as pneumothorax and bleeding were documented.

    • Main Results:

    • Tissue was obtained in 94% of biopsy attempts, leading to a diagnosis in 87% of patients.
    • The Steel trephine provided higher tissue yield and superior specimens for histology compared to the Vim-Silverman technique.
    • Complications occurred in 38% of biopsy attempts, with pneumothorax being the most common.

    Conclusions:

    • Trephine lung biopsy using the Steel apparatus is comparable to open lung biopsy in diagnostic yield.
    • The Steel trephine is a safe and useful tool for diagnosing pulmonary disease when complications are managed promptly.
    • This technique offers an advantage in tissue acquisition for histological examination.
